Grab a seat at the table
We are Illinois farm families. We want to meet you at the table to give you a look at who we are, what we do and how we grow food for all of us.
And it’s not just our perspectives you’ll hear. We invite groups of Chicagoland moms and experts in the food, health and nutrition fields to visit our farms. They bring along their cameras, smartphones and tablets and then share with you what they see, hear and learn.
Join the conversation
This is a place to hear a variety of voices, from families who care about growing safe, healthy food. For all of us, our farms come first. But also lucky for us, it’s done working alongside our families. Our roots are planted firmly by generations before, and today we’re working to farm sustainably for those who will come after.
Meanwhile, we’re here to talk about what’s on your table. If you have questions about us and our Illinois family farms, just ask.
