Our Sustainable Journey
We're a small farm in Granville, IL trying to be as sustainable as possible. Our focuses are on worm farming, small farm animals, and teaching our children to be as sustainable as they can be, too. We started a food scrap pickup program in our hometown of Naperville, IL, where we still spend much of our time, to try to help others who aren't able to compost or want to keep their food scraps out of landfills.
