Deerfield offers farm community miles from Madison
Deerfield, Wisconsin, got its name simply from the many deer in the area. Deerfield is one of the many villages and towns in the rural region outside of Madison. The village has many homes, a small industrial neighborhood and a historic downtown with restaurants and bars. The town area around the village is mainly farmland growing crops like corn, soybeans and alfalfa hay. Rural attractions include a horse show venue and Schuster’s Farm’s seasonal corn maze and pumpkin patch. “I would say it’s more of an agriculturally centered community. It’s basically all crop and farmland pretty much all around it,” says Michael Schuster, an associate broker with Re/Max Preferred. “And then you also have a bit of a bedroom community because it’s straight east of Madison on the highway.”
Deerfield Firemen's Baseball Park is in the heart of Deerfield.
Deerfield residents can catch the sunset in Madison which is only 20 minutes away.

I-94 and U.S. 18 connect Deerfield to Madison
Interstate 94 and U.S. Highway 18 pass through the rural town area and go toward Madison, 20 miles west. The state capital is home to Dane County Regional Airport and institutions like UW Health’s University Hospital. “It’s far enough away from Madison but close enough to Madison,” Bound says. “You know Madison is a short distance away, but you don’t get all the city hoopla and drama Madison offers.”
