Do you know your farmer?

Meet Your Farmers: Our Story - Watch our Yotube Video

  • Meet farmers Nicoele and Bill...

    We understand what it feels like to want to meet your farmer in person and to know where your food comes from. We know you value quality ingredients to make your cooking fresh and amazing.


     Founded in 2001, Belluso's 1871 Farm has been more than just a place to get better tasting veggies and herbs, and in the past- beautiful flowers, hand made products such as pasta, candles and body products, our Mangalitsa heritage breed pork and heritage chicken and eggs. It's a place where you can become a part of our local food movement, helping to reconnect our community. In 2023, we joined a farmer co-op sales model. You can find our produce and herbs in restaurants, grocery, and various CSA groups from central to Northern Illinois. We are now part of a group of more than 80 Illinois farms working to change the local food system in our great state. Thank you for your support over the years! It has allowed us to bring more fresh local food to more of you!
