The Mad Farmers' Garden

Located in rural Coal Valley, IL, just outside of the Quad Cities, this family micro-farm and homestead has dedicated itself to cultivating a diverse array of produce and livestock.

The farm focuses on growing mainly open-pollinated, heirloom, and native varieties of fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Livestock including poultry, rabbits, goats, pigs, and cows are raised as integral parts of the farm ecosystem, contributing both labor and produce. The farm emphasizes responsibility to themselves, the community, and the earth, working diligently to maintain these principles.

Produce and products from the farm are sold at local farmer's markets, providing fresh, locally-grown options to the community.
