We Have Bountiful Land, a Wonderful Community, and Loyal Customers.
The Only Thing Missing is You.
We want you to be the new farmer here at our community. Of course, you have
to be a proven entrepreneur and motivated to build one of the most
successful organic farming operations in the Midwest.
We're the Farms at Prairie Crossing, part of a nationally acclaimed
conservation community 40 miles from Chicago. In one of its three features
on our distinctive community, The New York Times stated, "If land is a
reflection of human history, then Prairie Crossing represents the
repositioning of humankind and nature..."
The farming opportunity at Prairie Crossing is truly unique. We currently
have a successful 10 acre, certified organic farm serving a number of
markets in the area. There are more than 100 acres nearby that may be
transitioned to organic production.
The farm already has good infrastructure and equipment and the nearby area
has a skilled workforce of farm-workers available to support significant
growth. In addition to offering housing, a competitive salary, and good
employee benefits, the farm will also offer equity participation based on
performance. This is a tremendous opportunity to grow a premier Midwestern
organic farm.
Nearly 8 million people live within an hour or so of Prairie Crossing. The
Chicago region is one of the largest and fastest growing markets for organic
food in the country. Yet most of the organic food sold here is shipped in
from other states. Our goal is to become a major grower of the organic food
sold right here in Illinois.
The Farms at Prairie Crossing are an organic farmer's dream - organic earth,
strong roots, and room to grow. If you have great qualifications and this
sounds like the right situation, contact us today.
