LOCAVORE. FARM TO FARM TABLE.

Locavore brings the table to the farm in peaceful rural Kankakee County. Join us for an inspiring series of videos that tell the Jones family story as they cultivate natural, healthy food and fulfilling experiences for visitors from near and far.

Fall embraces Locavore Farm with a breezy tapestry of vibrant colors and refreshing, cooling temperatures.

Because there is less of it this time of year, the sun’s light is even more treasured. Each visitor's experience evolves every fascinating day as Locavore produces an increasingly bountiful harvest from the Jones family's heart-and-soul year-round efforts.

One thing is constant: the Locavore community continues to gather, drawn together by a shared respect for the fertile soil, real food and the warmth of heartfelt fellowship.

Year 'round, Farmer/Owners Rachael and Chris Jones embody a deep connection with the land, the changing conditions and each other. And, they always extend an invitation to visitors seeking unique, enriching experiences and authentic food.

Please join us for the fourth and final installment of our Locavore Video Series and witness the captivating journey of the Jones family as they revel in the season they hold dearest: Fall.

Lo-ca-vore: a person whose diet consists principally of locally grown and produced food.
