THE GOLF CART is already moving when the driver, Ben Askren, waves his hand for me to get in. The tour of the Funky Farms ranch has begun.
It's a wild, rocky ride over 11 acres of property 20 miles west of Milwaukee. Funky Farms is tucked into a suburban Wisconsin neighborhood, but there are enough woods surrounding it to make you forget that you're walking distance from a Target and a Noodles & Company.
Askren is zipping through his property in late July, up and down hills, over stumps and sticks, and past tree swings and kids toys.
