We are open for the Spring!We are open for regular spring hours beginning Friday, April 13. As it is still early in the season, please call (815) 521-9535 or e-mail to find out availability if you are coming for something specific. Illinois State Fair - Winning Honey is here!
Speaking of honey, our 2011 crop is now ready!!! Leon, our Beekeeper, entered it in the Illinois State Fair and we got THIRD PLACE in the WHOLE STATE!!! Our bees are awesome (but Contrary of course!). If you haven’t tried it yet, you don’t know what you’re missing! Don't miss treasures ...We’ve got SCADS of beauties to showcase including 70+ tempting new Hostas, 25+ new perennials, 8 new peonies, and an ever-expanding list of Heirloom veggie plants! That’s right, we now grow over 50 varieties of luscious, yummy tomatoes, over 25 kinds of peppers, and (NEW this year!) heirloom cucumbers and lettuces! Yep, we’re “growing” in a healthy way, just for you! We are also going to have lots of veggies planted in containers here at the farm just so you can see how easy (and beautiful) it is to do! We still have some of our all natural wildflower honey left. If you need some before we open for the season, feel free to give us a call at (815) 521-9535 or e-mail us and we’ll make arrangements. (I KNOW how delicious and addicting it is, so I don’t want you to have to wait!) We have a plethora of display beds for you to wander through, filled with 400+ varieties of specimen Hostas, 60+ kind of Peonies, tons of unusual perennials and woodies, and our two large display ponds and one pondless waterfall. You can also visit with the Three Best Shelties in the World (Mickey, Jamie and Duncan), our three Pygmy Goat weeders (Robbie, Bertie and Isabella), our three dumb (but loveable!) Daffy Ducks (Winkin’, Blinkin’, and Nod), and our new greenhouse cat Joey—he’s a real sweetie! Don’t forget that our complete selection of Hostas and Peonies are available to ship as bareroot plants—see our Online store for details.
As always, we are grateful for your loyalty, support, and patronage—we sure couldn’t do it without you! We can’t wait to visit with you at the Farm … see ya soon!!! Enjoy life, keep smilin’, and think green!
