Farmers markets helped save our farm.

Farmers markets helped save our farm.

When things felt uncertain, and the future was on the line for our family farm, we made a choice to show up to a farmers market. One day, turned into a full season. Week after week. Early mornings, long days, loading coolers, and learning.

We met people who cared about how we farmed.

We met people who wanted to get to know us.
We met people who asked really thoughtful questions.

We met people that challenged us.

We met people that used food not only as fuel, but also as medicine.

We met people who kept showing up.

Not just for the meat, but for the connection behind it too.

That’s where this farm found its roots again. While at the market, a local chef would stop by for a chat looking for the very best to serve, and the local food co-op would entrust us to stock their freezers. The same process repeated time and time again, to open up even more convenient service through home shipping. The connections made at the farmers market are the backbone of how we grow, raise, and share food with you.

It shapes everything.

How we plan.
How we raise animals.

How we live.
How we connect to the people we serve.

So if you ever wonder whether choosing to shop at a farmers market makes a difference, I can say this clearly; It can help save a farm.

We’re starting another market season, and we’re grateful to be adding a few more stops into the schedule.

New this year:

• Green City Market (Wednesdays, opening tomorrow)
• The Farmer on the Green Market - (Tuesdays, coming in June)

(And we’re hopeful to add Buffalo Grove on Sundays, pending final approval.)
