FOR FARMERS
Sell Your Food Through Down At The Farms!
Learn how your farm can participate in a growing enterprise that is selling high-quality, nutritious food into markets across the Illinois region. We are committed to building relationships in the supply chain with people who honor fair prices, understand how hard it is to grow high-quality food, and respect farmers.
Grower Requirements
Organic Practices and Beyond
Are you using organic practices or beyond? We welcome all vegetable and meat farmers who are building soil health through non-toxic, biological farming systems to take the next steps and reach out. You do not need to be organic certified, but many of our farmers choose this path as well. After contact, we will schedule a site tour to better understand how you are managing soil and crop health. We are committed to connecting our growers with the best, most trustworthy agronomy available.
Kindness & Discipline
The Stewart family is a great example of how we expect our farmers to get involved and act with kindness. We require that from our farmers. Our network of farmers is committed to working together as collaborators, not as competitors. This also means respecting deadlines, crop planning schedules, and food safety requirements. We are all in this together to make a healthier food supply.
"A group of farmers working together was a foreign concept before I started working with Down at the Farms!"
