Farm Well Wisconsin logoLast week the WebWise Design & Marketing team launched a new website for Farm Well Wisconsin, a service of the Southwestern Wisconsin Community Action Program, Inc.
We had the privilege of working with Chris Frakes, Farm Well Wisconsin Program Director. Her passion and commitment to developing and offering resources that support farmers’ health and well-being of farmers and their families in southwestern Wisconsin quickly became infectious. The WebWise team was all in.
You will easily find phone numbers for suicide prevention and farmer wellness hotlines and information with articles, tips, videos, recipes, and blog posts. Topics include, but are not limited to the following.
  • Eat Well
  • Keep Fit
  • Managing Stress
  • Injury Prevention
  • Sleep Well
You are welcome and encouraged to comment on blog posts and recipes. The more comments and conversation, the better.
To paraphrase Chris Frakes, “In vibrant rural communities, neighbors help neighbors, build up and draw upon local assets, and foster supportive connections.”
If you are interested in supporting and promoting health and wellbeing within southwestern Wisconsin agricultural communities, they are seeking additional members of our Farmer Wellness Advisory Coalitions (FWAC). You may find contact information on farmwellwi.org.
Congratulations to Chris and her team members on the launch of the Farm Well Wisconsin website as they start spread the word about their vital mission!

Fine Wines – Whispering Bluffs Winery – Potosi, WI

Announcement, Web Design, Web Development / By /

The WebWise team is excited to announce a new wine shopping experience on the Whispering Bluffs Winery website. Working closely with the owner, Wes Helmick, Wine Maker, Larry Boyd, and Mary Beth Gerhards, the Whispering Bluffs Winery new website showcases their extraordinary award-winning wines, each having unique flavors and characteristics.Whispering Bluffs Winery Wine

Located in Potosi, Wisconsin, and nestled along the scenic Mississippi River, Whispering Bluffs Winery is a purveyor of an assortment of fine wines. Southwest Wisconsin is not Napa Valley, and Wes knew that many of the vines that flourished in California wouldn’t make it through a winter in the Midwest.

The wines from Whispering Bluffs Winery are Wisconsin grown and harvested from vines developed to withstand temperatures as low as 35 degrees below zero. Their cold-hardy Upper Mississippi Valley AVA* grapes are fermented and blended to create bold award-winning wines.

Fine wine makes a great gift for others and yourself. See and buy award-winning Whispering Bluffs Winery wines today!
