Our Story
We are a small farm in Northern Illinois, currently farming hemp and raising bees. We have a lot of expanding to do and are always adopting changes and new ideas in the industry. We take pride in bringing quality products straight from our farm to you.
Ensuring safe and effective products is our main goal. We grow our crop with no pesticides or machinery. Everything is hand planted, hung to dry and trimmed by hand.
After a quick rinse, our plants are hung to dry.
Owner’s Background
I grew up in Elburn, Illinois and I never really considered agriculture as a career when I was young even though my family has been farming for decades. My last years of high school I began seeing the potential in Ag and I signed up to go to Joliet Junior College and study. After 2 quick years, I graduated with an Associates in Applied Sciences. I then worked for a few different farms, picking up some experience and bee keeping along the way before finally settling at my family’s farm where I play a large role in every aspect of our operation. I have a great passion for bee keeping and agronomics and I try to express that everyday.
I try to keep this website updated and the content fresh for everyone. I personally take a lot of pride in my work and I like to portray that in what I do. As I’m sure many of you assume, we work long hours in the spring, summer, and fall to ensure we grow the best crop we can. In the winter, I mainly haul grain in a semi and take care of our 30 cows. I know I have a biased opinion but we raise some of the best beef and I think the main point to that is how we treat our animals. We care for them as our own and they feel that as well.
When I am able to get away, I do enjoy a few hobbies. Fly fishing in the summer and skiing in the winter are 2 of my favorites. I was very fortunate growing up to have parents that pushed me to try things and took me places. One of the best lessons they taught me was to build a life that I didn’t want to take a vacation from and I confidentially say that I have. I’d like you to take this into consideration and do the same. It’s the small things on this planet that make life worth living. Be grateful to be here, I know I am.
