We are a sustainable midsize farm located in Southwest Illinois. We grow organic food and serve our surrounding community.

We learned that you do not have to be experienced or have a lot of land to farm; you just have to be willing to farm. Now, we can see the path to obtaining our goals.

Value-added products in conjunction with local farmers (chickens for local CSA)
Longer growing seasons for produce for winter markets

We learned a lot from the soil session. Liked going out to visit other farms.

Our mission is to grow organic fruits, vegetables, and
flowers to provide for those around us and encourage
others to make the most of what they have.

Meeting the other farmers and farm mentors. The planning content was great.

The purpose of farm business is to provide natural alternatives to many chemical based lifestyle products and meal ingredients. Personal goals of the farm are to help educate the general public on how to create safe products and meals for those they love that are also economically sound for their families - eliminating the dependence on expensive and chemical based consumption with the ultimate goal being supporting a healthy community as preventative medicine. A secondary personal goal of the farm is 1st generation farming accessible to low-income families.

There are many options and opportunities to grow and build a network of growers to support you.
