The natural division East and South of the Illinois River Valley is known by botanists and naturalists as the Grand Prairie. This vast plain was the former home of expansive tall grass prairies and great numbers of bison and waterfowl. For centuries this bioregion’s soil has fed those who live here and countless families across the continent and around the world. Although no longer as rich and vibrant as it once was, this soil continues to provide for humans today.
We strive to demonstrate sustainable farm practices that restore depleted soil and to share resources with producers and consumers. Proceeds from the club’s exchanges go to fund our efforts.
