Cooking with Your Farmer - Sweet Lou

posted on

February 2, 2024

If you have visited our booth at the La Grange, Elmhurst, or Wilmette farmers markets - you know her well.  Lou Ann is the 6th generation farmer, and 1st generation to trek miles from the farm to sell meat that she produces.  

I grew up on her cooking, and never ate a meal I did not enjoy. She earned the endearing name Sweet Lou from one of the best frequent flyers of the market.  So here’s Sweet Lou, working her magic in the kitchen making her finest chili.  She uses simple ingredients, great meat, and plenty of love.

A Year to Review

To recap a whole year into one short blog feels like a lot of pressure. I am bound to miss some of the best moments of the year, while ignoring some of the hard challenges tackled. At the same time, life on the farm can feel incredibly similar one day to the next when living outside of the moments. But I do understand my worst attempt will be better than nothing, so here it goes.

Busiest Week Ever

The holiday season is here, and this week might just be our busiest yet! From the warehouse to the office to the pastures, every part of the farm is buzzing with activity. Each task plays a role in what we love most: connecting you to the best food we can produce for your holiday celebrations.
