Our Story
SWP Organic Farm began in 2014 with three acres of tired corn ground and one stubborn idea: if we fed the soil, the soil would feed our neighbours. Twelve seasons of cover crops, compost and patience later, that same ground grows some of the most flavourful vegetables in central Illinois.
We are a family-run team of eleven growers, packers and drivers. We never spray synthetic pesticides or herbicides, and every field is rotated so no crop grows in the same bed two years in a row. That keeps pests guessing and the soil full of life.
What we harvest in the morning is washed, packed and on its way by noon — to families who subscribe to our weekly boxes, to grocers along Route 66 and to the chefs who build their menus around what's ripe this week.
- 40 acres under organic management
