No it is not. Hungry World Farm is a learning/educational farm. We do believe spiritual community is formed when we get together. Hungry World Farm will focus on educating people and teaching about sustainable food production through gardening, grain milling, local habitat, and a Farm Learning Center.

Yes, we plan to continue offering u-pick blueberries.  Strawberries will mainly be available through CSA and farmers’ markets. 2020 may be the last season for a large strawberry patch.

The farm can supply 55% of support for itself and the paid employees through sales at farmers’ markets, U-pick berries, and weekly Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) boxes. The remaining 45% will come from donations and grants.

The usual produce in a market garden like tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, potatoes, corn, apples, strawberries, blueberries, etc. – also some unusual crops like chestnuts.

We currently have smaller animals like goats, sheep, rabbits, ducks and chickens. We think it is important for children and adults to have an up close experience with these types of animals. Goat is a highly consumed  meat eaten around the world. It makes sense to us for people to see what a goat looks like in real life.

Tiskilwa is in north-central Illinois (south of Princeton, IL in Bureau County) –  about 2 hours from downtown Chicago and an hour from the Mississippi River. The farm is approximately 175 acres with 60 acres tillable, 100 acres of woods on ridges and ravines, 1/2 acre of native hillside prairie and finally, residential areas.
