Mary's Wholesome Living
Mary's passion for cooking, canning and baking began when she was in 8th grade. Ever since then she has been perfecting her craft, adding new recipes and variations on old favorites. Not only does she grow most of the things she cans, she also teaches classes so others can learn to can, bake and cook healthy meals to feed their families. She enjoys spending warm summer evenings and cool fall days filling mason jars with strawberry jam, peach preserves, zucchini pickles or roasted peppers. She and her husband spend a lot of time together; ladling tomatoes, cutting cucumbers or stirring the blueberries as they simmer. They are happy to be able to share the bounty of their labor with friends and family – and you!

Fox Prairie Farm
Ann Getzelman and Brian Sebastian run Fox Prairie Farm in Hampshire, IL. The farm has been in Ann's family for almost 100 years. Ann grew up around Chianina-Angus herds, watching her father raise many award winning steers. She decided that raising Boer goats would be a lot like raising steers, but a less painful if they should step on your feet. Fox Prairie Farm raises Boer goats for sale as well as for meat. Fox Prairie also carries a variety of meats from Hasselmann Family Farm. Hasselmann Farm is located in Marengo, Illinois, and they manage beef cows, hogs, sheep, turkeys, and chickens. All of their meat and poultry is pasture-raised and pasture finished. Click here to take a look at the Fox Prairie website, and click here to look at the Hasselmann Family Farm website.

Sitka Salmon Shares
Sitka Salmon Shares had an unlikely start as a project of the Sitka Conservation Society and a Knox College student fundraiser. Six years later, Salmon Shares provides fish-loving Midwesterners the absolute best in line-caught wild Alaskan seafood as the leading fisherman-owned and fully-integrated Community Supported Fishery (CSF). Their fish are caught individually using generation's old low-impact methods before being bled, dressed, and iced aboard their vessels. On shore, their harvests are custom-processed with a laser focus on quality and complete traceability. As CSF member or market customer, you’re joining a community of artisan fishers, healthy eaters, foodies, and Alaskan adventurers in a collective effort to rebuild America’s seafood system from the ground up.

The Little Bison Company
of Lester's Bison Farm
Gindos Hot Sauce
Gindo's believes that hot sauce doesn't have to be an afterthought or simply a condiment that you drip on your food to mask a mediocre dish or burn your senses useless. Their sauces are designed to inspire creativity in the kitchen and enhance food by adding flavor, aroma, color, texture and even nutrients. When they started the company back in 2011, they simply wanted to make delicious pepper sauces with whole fresh peppers, sea salts and peppercorns. Since then, they've evolved their way of thinking. For so many people like Gindo's, the kitchen is the room with the most life in the house. It’s where people come together to not only cook and eat, but also commune and share stories and ideas. They love the idea of being a part of that life, of having a little piece of themselves in every kitchen, helping to inspire food and conversation.
