Our Farm...

We're a 10 acre farm a few miles south of the Wisconsin border, in Richmond, Illinois. Several years ago we were fortunate to buy a farm from a local farmer who valued the nutrient-rich soil, and in the 40 years he farmed this land, never sprayed his fields. We inherited the added bonus of his years of raising cattle and dairy cows, who left their legacy with wonderfully natural fertilizer that still enriches our land. So with that headstart, what better to do with our farm than to grow natural, organically grown produce?

On our 10 acre farm, we produce over 100 varieties of vegetables, herbs and fruits. They are grown organically, using sustainable farming practices. We hand select our seeds from heirloom varieties that have been passed down through the generations. These are the varieties that your grandparents grew long ago.

Pure water flowing from artesian springs on our farm gives a healthy addition to our produce and forms our beautiful natural creek. Our grounds have never been exposed to any pesticides or other chemicals and therefore are extremely rich and naturally organically healthy.

Green Earth Farm began as a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). But with a huge rustic barn that no longer housed cows, we decided to convert a small part of it into a pet boarding facility; embracing the farm philosophy that "everything earns its keep."
