Our Story
Having farmed conventionally, Hans and I have seen firsthand the detrimental effects that commodity agriculture can have on the soil and environment. For that reason, we transitioned to a more earth-friendly agricultural approach that reduces our ecological footprint.
Organic farming is very special to us. We enjoy working with the land and sharing our bounty with loyal customers who appreciate the taste and freshness of our produce. We believe that organic is more than just a practice; it’s a way to promote the health of our community and our earth.
At PrairiErth, we cultivate 50 acres of certified organic vegetables. Since we care deeply about the sanctity of our land, we’ve also worked to restore an acre of native Illinois prairie!

Our Practices
Our farm is certified organic! Needless to say, we are strongly committed to the health of the natural environment and take extreme lengths to reduce the footprint of our operation. We’re also extremely committed to the health of our customers. For this reason, we don’t use any non-approved pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers.
