About Us

Dear friends and neighbors,

A big howdy to you! This is the place in the Mahomet/Champaign, Illinois, area where our families and the surrounding community have been puttin' on the feed bag for quite a spell now. What we lack in size we make up for in enthusiasm and hard work to produce some of the best vittles that anyone could possibly eat. For those of you out there that are not familiar with country talk, vittles means food.

We are sustainable farm produce growers. One of our thoughts is, if it's a vegetable and it can be grown in Illinois, then we will probably want to grow it at some point in time. Sustainable farming means that we try very hard to keep the poison out of your food and the healthy stuff in. We incorporate many organic products during the operation and growing season, leaning more heavily on the organic than the commercial side. If it is to go into your mouth, we believe that it should be clean and wholesome and of value to your body. We also offer in our store many of the organic products that we use on the farm.

Speaking of our store, we have just opened at a new location in downtown Mahomet! Along with selling our produce in season, we have expanded our grocery section to include many more organic and natural food items and health and beauty products.

We also have a variety of high-quality ice creams to choose from and make our own gourmet pastries and desserts. See our Specials page for our current menu.
