PotBelly Acres

Potbelly Acres has established itself as a trustworthy source of sustainably raised food for the greater Chicago area. Known for its variety of responsibly grown vegetables, fruits, meat, and eggs, the farm also supplies locally grown organic hops to the local beer community. The farm's primary product is organic vegetables, which make up 75% of their total offerings.

Potbelly Acres employs biodynamic practices, working the land mostly by hand with minimal machinery and outside labor. The farm maintains a balanced, holistic approach to agriculture, focusing on sustainable methods. The sandy soil type of the farm is particularly conducive to growing salad and root crops, which are a significant part of their produce. The farm's produce is marketed primarily through local farmer's markets and an onsite farm stand, reducing the distance food travels to reach customers.

Potbelly Acres offers up to 40 different varieties of fruits and vegetables, with a strong focus on those typically found in the average American household. They also sell pastured pork, goat, and fresh eggs directly from the farm. The farm aims to collaborate with local food aggregators and distributors to supply area restaurants, grocers, and food banks.
