We are a small sustainable family farm in south-central McLean County raising produce, fresh herbs, seedlings and seedstock for the local community. 2011 will be our eighth year producing fresh produce for the local markets. All our seed-stock is sourced organically when possible and absolutely no GMO seed is used in our produce fields. We select varieties for diversity, color, flavor, beauty and nutritional value. Based on years of customer feedback, we can say our specialty potatoes are the best in central Illinois. And every seaon we grow dozens of Heirloom Tomato varieties, more than a half-dozen varieties each of specialty potatoes, eggplants, sweet peppers, onions, peas, beans, beets, carrots, and sweet potatoes.

Fall-planted garlics are cheering us on - the late Sept planting has 4"+ leaves and the lat Nov planting has well broken through the mulch. We've been clearing produce fields and prepping for major planting. The seed potatoes are here and we've just begun putting the first of the peas, spinach, beets, potatoes, onions and carrots in the ground. Seed trays are constantly being filled and started.
