PotBelly Acres

Potbelly Acres is a diversified family farm dedicated to providing the greater Chicago area with a secure and trustworthy source for sustainably raised food. We choose to work our land mostly by hand using biodynamic practices. We keep our practices balanced, holistic, and sustainable with minimal amounts of machinery and outside labor. We aim to serve our community and others with a variety of responsibly grown vegetables, fruits, meat, and eggs. We also provide our thriving local beer community with a source for locally grown organic hops. Potbelly Acres sells a variety of traditional farm items. Vegetables are our primary product with a focus on things typically found in the average American household. In addition we sell pastured pork, goat and fresh eggs off farm only. Our Organic vegetables are the pride of our farm and account for 75% of our total product list. We offer up to 40 different varieties of fruits and vegetables to our customers. We have a strong focus on salad and root crops. Because of our Sandy Soil type, we are able to grow these well. We market our produce primarily through area farmer�s markets, but due to our highway frontage we will be able to sell through our onsite farm stand as well, which further decreases the amount that our food needs to travel to reach the end customer. We would also like to take advantage of our proximity to Chicago and work with local food aggregators and distributors that reach area restaurants, grocers, and food banks
