 Here are a few of us just before sunset on a recent Friday, with our truck jam-packed with truly farm-fresh, hand-picked produce, ready for the Evanston Market. Pictured, from left: Courtney (apprentice), Zoe (daughter), Henry (the farmer), Kazami (son), Matt (farm hand), Terra (sister), and Herman (father).
Photo by Renee MullenWe are a family farm in Central Illinois, in the rolling hills and fertile bottom land of the Mackinaw River Valley. Although currently not USDA Certified Organic, we still use the same sustainable and environmentally-friendly practices, which you can read about in Henry's book, Organic Matters .
Our specialty is variety, with over 630 different items in our 2008 seed order. We provide fresh, delicious produce to families in the Bloomington-Peoria area with our CSA, and to families in the Chicago area with our stand at the Evanston Farmers Market.
