We started our farm in 2001 in a very small space to grow flowers, herbs, fruit, vegetables, and perennials for the local markets around St. Charles, Illinois. We named the farm Erehwon after a mythical place where most everything was backwards: we were surrounded with large farms growing crops for distant markets using large doses of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. We, on the other hand wanted to be small, to grow in an environmentally friendly way for local markets. Hence the name Erehwon.
Beth Propst and Tim Fuller are working very hard this 2009 spring to bring fresh vegetables from the field to your plate. Check out their web site at erehwonfarm.com and make sure to read the past newsletter. They give you an insight about the last couple of years with the CSA.
