What We Grow

In Season on the Farm

Our planting calendar follows the Illinois seasons, so what you get is always at its natural peak — never forced, never shipped across the country.

Fresh lettuce heads, potatoes and onions on a market table
April – November

Leafy Greens

Butterhead and romaine lettuce, rainbow chard, lacinato kale and spinach, cut early while the leaves are crisp and sweet.

Bunches of organic carrots and green beans at a market stall
June – December

Roots & Beans

Nantes carrots, golden beets, radishes and string beans grown in loose, compost-rich beds for clean, deep flavour.

Ripe tomatoes and bell peppers on display
July – October

Tomatoes & Peppers

Fourteen heirloom tomato varieties, sweet bell peppers and mild chiles, picked vine-ripe rather than gassed in storage.

Fresh broccoli and produce in a wire basket
May – June, Sept – Nov

Brassicas

Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels sprouts timed for the cool shoulder seasons, when they taste their best.

From Seed to Your Door

Here's what happens to a single head of lettuce between our greenhouse and your kitchen.

  1. Grower in a straw hat planting young vegetable seedlings

    Start

    Seeds are started in our solar-heated greenhouse using organic potting mix we blend ourselves.

  2. Lush green plants growing in a greenhouse tunnel

    Grow

    Seedlings move to the field after three weeks and are weeded by hand and tractor, never by herbicide.

  3. Farmer harvesting fresh organic vegetables in a green field

    Harvest

    We pick between 5 and 9am, while plants are cool, then rinse and chill everything within the hour.

  4. Assortment of fresh tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and lettuce

    Deliver

    Boxes are packed by noon and delivered the same afternoon to homes, stores and restaurants.

Are you really certified organic?

Yes. Our fields have been certified organic since 2016 and are inspected by an accredited certifier every season. We're happy to share our current certificate on request.

Where do you deliver?

We deliver to homes across Springfield and surrounding towns within 30 miles. Wholesale customers can be up to 150 miles away.

Can I skip a week or pause my box?

Of course. Skip or pause from your account, or just email us by Friday at 5pm for the following week.

Can I visit the farm?

Our farm stand is open every Saturday from 8am to 1pm, and we run free guided field walks on the first Saturday of each month from May to September.
