Our Roots
Wild Roots is our family owned farm located in Harvard IL. Our Mission is to grow natural and sustainable foods and build community. We offer CSA shares, vegetables, chicken, and eggs, and sometimes run workshops and events!​
​
Our joy for growing our own vegetables and desire to raise animals outgrew our suburban home. In 2015, we decided on a lifestyle change and by fall we bought 9 acres of land and started our small farm. We are working hard converting this land into a sustainable farm and sharing fresh food and wisdom to our community.
F.A.Q
What is all natural?
We pride ourself on being all natural, At Wild Roots Farm, all natural means we use organic and environmentally friendly farming practices by not using synthetic chemicals or fertilizers. We reclaim and compost our organic material to help rebuild the soil. We believe that our food, animals, and plants, should be raised in a natural and healthy way.
What is a CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a popular way for consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer. Interested consumers purchase a share (aka membership or a subscription) and in return receive a box of seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season. Average farming season last 18 to 20 weeks.
How can I get involved in the Farm?
Whether it is to learn about sustainable growing methods, to purchase some eggs, or to pet some goats, we always welcome visitors! We also never turn down volunteers. If you want to gain some experience for building your own gardens, or just to get your hands in some soil, we're more than happy to share our wisdom and get some help on the farm in return! We also host WWOOFers during the growing season. Find our WWOOF profile here!
