At Afterthought Farms we find it is more important to know where our food comes from than how much it costs. We take great pride in working very hard to provide the safest and best food available.

We have a very small herd of French Alpine Dairy Goats. In keeping our herd small we can provide individual attention and the best care possible. We can guarantee that the RAW goat milk we get is absolutely the safest and best available. We also keep a small flock of Welsummer and Cuckoo Maran Chickens. These girls provide us with the safest and prettiest eggs available. We pasture raise chickens to guarantee the best tasting chicken you'll ever have. There growth is supplemented by Illinois Grown Organic Feed. They are processed at a USDA inspected facility. This guarantees a level of food safety you can't find in your "big box store".

We know exactly what all of our animals eat from day one so you know you are getting the safest, tastiest food available in the area. We also have fresh, chemical-free produce available. Our farm is small and our quantities are limited so please call for availability. Also we love visitors so please call and we'll show you around.

Johnson Buffalo Farm is operated by Ryan Johnson. The Buffalo Farm began when we got our first two buffalo on September 11, 2001. We decided to name them the twin towers. Little did Ryan know that a year and a half later he would be serving in the Marine Corps in Iraq. Shortly after returning to the states he began breeding them and selling the meat to friends and acquaintances. Parents Dave and Suzy Johnson own the farm and help with the operation. The farm is located in Hoopeston, IL, about 50 miles northeast of Champaign, or 25 miles north of Danville.

Buffalo is America's original red meat. They are high in protein, low in cholesterol, calories and fat. Our buffalo are raised on high quality pastures and supplemented with hay in the winter. They are never given antibiotics or steroids, or implanted with growth hormones. No animal is confined to a building or feedlot.

The buffalo are taken off the farm to be processed and packaged at a licensed USDA inspected facility. The meat is frozen and sold in whole, half, quarter, or individual cuts. Please call in advance.

We raise our animals in a humane environment with open air, plenty of fresh pasture and sunshine.

We sell our product on the farm—we think it is good for people to see where their food comes from. We realize that this is not always possible, so in some cases, we can arrange to deliver if we have several orders in one location. We do have delivery points in the Chicago area where we will deliver several times throughout the year. Please call or e-mail if you have any questions. You can also visit our website.

Meadow Haven Farm, in central Illinois about two hours west of Chicago, raises purely grass-fed, grass-finished beef and pastured organic chickens, organic eggs, and organic pasture-raised turkeys on their certified organic pastures.

Allan Sexton, a retired holistic veterinarian with a life-long interest in nutrition and health started the farm with wife Jeanne originally to provide good healthy food for their five children and growing number of grandchildren. They searched for the best farmland they could find for their idea of an organic farm that would raise grass-fed beef, pastured chickens and eggs, as well as Allan's large garden and orchard. They found it in Bureau County, Illinois. Jeremy and Cherie House joined them a few years later. Jeremy farmed and dairied with his father and Cherie was a junior high school physical education teacher and coach. They now live on the farm and have a young son to add to the population of well-nourished farmers here.

We are committed to the idea of food that is not only organic (free of chemical, pesticides, herbicides, etc..) but highly nutritious, rich in minerals, vitamins and other nutrients. We are constantly working to enhance and re-mineralize the soils that feed the plants that feed the animals that feed you, the consumer. We think of food as medicine and work toward that end.

Tuthill Farm, a family farm in west central Illinois, offers local, clean, heritage pork.

Our heritage breed hogs are raised naturally outdoors where they root, eat grass and thrive, while enjoying humane treatment. Yes, they actually eat grass. Our delicious pork is a result of sunshine, fresh air and plenty of room to roam. The fact that we raise Large Black and Duroc hogs—both Heritage breeds known for their gourmet taste and pasturing ability—makes a big difference as well. Large Blacks are gaining popularity with restaurant chefs and home-chefs alike because they are a large, sweet-fleshed bacon-type pig famous for fine-grained, sweet-scented meat.

Our meat is processed in a local USDA inspected butcher shop. Our meat is available in bundles. Breeding stock is available.

Tuthill Farm meat is available online, local stores and is featured on the menus of local restaurants.

Two Farms Poultry & Ducks is a dual effort of two women on two small farms raising chickens and ducks naturally. They are in outside pens (inside when predators threaten) and free to roam the chemical free pasture and yards, with plenty of grass, fresh water, sunshine and fresh air. They are supplemented with a high quality certified organic feed. They do not receive any hormones or antibiotics (unless absolutely necessary).

We have three different breeds of ducks, fresh brown eggs and chickens. We raise them as if they are our children, lovingly, carefully nurturing, stress free. We process the chickens in the most humane way possible at a USDA inspected plant that handles organically raised animals. The ducks are farm processed, also handled as humanely as possible.

We believe that the food we eat should be natural, the way nature intended, without growth hormones and raised on land free of herbicides and pesticides. So we raise the ducks and chickens the same way. We do not use any chemicals of any kind on the yards or pasture.

The ducks and chickens are hatched naturally, or if there are too many for the moms to handle, in incubators and taken outside at 3 weeks of age. Eggs are gathered daily, washed and refrigerated immediately.

We have small farms, so please call or e-mail for availability and prices.

We also grow fresh produce without the use of chemicals. Please check for availability of heirloom vegetables. Goat's milk soap, olive oil soap, and aromatherapy items hand made on site will be available soon. Please check for availability and price.

If you would like to hand pick out your birds prior to butchering, please call or e-mail for an appointment. All products must be picked up within one week of butchering. Let us know when you want it and we will do our best to have it for you (availability permitting). This way we can assure the freshest products. We will freeze birds for keeping longer.
