About the Farm
Background
Middlebury Farms, located in Harvard, Illinois, is owned and operated by Peter Grubbe, a first-generation farmer and McHenry County native. With over 10 years of farming experience, Peter has dedicated himself to providing the community with fresh organic produce. The farm is known for its CSA Farm Box program, participation in local farmers markets, and partnerships with local restaurants.
Practices
Middlebury Farms adheres to certified organic farming practices, ensuring that all produce is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The farm focuses on maintaining soil health and biodiversity, which are crucial for sustainable agriculture. By rotating crops and using organic compost, they enhance soil fertility and reduce pest pressures naturally.
The Rest
Middlebury Farms offers a CSA Farm Box program that runs from late June through the end of October, providing weekly or bi-weekly deliveries or pick-ups. Customers can pick up their produce at various locations, including the Palatine Farmers Market, Orchard Prime Meats in Cary, and Farmers Market+ at the Dole in Crystal Lake. Delivery is available for select zip codes. More information and registration details are available on their website.
