The farm describes itself this way in its directory profile: We are a chemical-free vegetable and chicken farm operated by Anita & Brian Poeppel. Anita & Brian have been growing food for the public and their own table for 11 years. The farm produces a wide variety of vegetables, in particular salad and cooking greens, and pasture raised chickens for meat and eggs. Although not certified organic, the farm follows strict growing practices and does not use any chemical or synthetic inputs to produce the vegetables or chickens. Anita & Brian firmly believe in the health of the soil and how fertile, biologically active soil can produce nutritious, great-tasting food. We sell at the Naperville Farmer's Market. |
| Practices, in the farm's own words | no-spray, pasture-raised |
| Tillage & soil | This farm has not published how it works its soil, so we are not going to guess. If you farm here, tell us and we will add it. See the farms that do say. |
| Good to know | The directory prints this address with ZIP code 61491, which belongs to Wyoming, not Chillicothe, so the listing is placed on Chillicothe and the ZIP is left off. |
| Address | 22000 Berchtold Rd, Chillicothe, IL |
