Helping local organic farms launch: The Liberty Prairie Foundation
Aspiring organic farmers can receive help to build their farm - and their farming business - from The Liberty Prairie Foundation's Farm Business Development Center.
We provide an incubator setting with affordable access to certified-organic land near Chicago, basic resources, infrastructure and access to experienced mentor farmers.
We're headquartered near Chicago at the Prairie Crossing Farm, our working organic farm nestled inside Prairie Crossing, the nationally-recognized conservation community.
