Hampshire, Illinois · In development
Hampshire is our laboratory.
Eight leased acres in unincorporated Kane County, where we test ideas gently and carry what works forward.

The land
We farm on a leased eight-acre site in Hampshire, Illinois, zoned for agriculture. We don't share the exact location publicly; when there's something to visit, list members will hear first.
Garden, water & soil
Rainwater collection planned, for non-edible water uses. Garden beds and a covered, movable season-extension garden are being planned, along with a compost loop: animal bedding to compost to soil.
Preparing for animals
Before any animal arrives, the housing, care plans and welfare standards come first. Laying hens and a small group of rabbits are the first planned residents.
The flagship
Our long-term plan is a larger 40-plus-acre flagship farm. Anything we build in Hampshire is chosen to be portable, so proven pieces can move with us.
