WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT

Hello and welcome to the Will County Farm Bureau’s website. Here, you’ll find information on our organization and local agriculture, including how you can find farm products straight from local farmers under the “Buy Local” tab. For members, we provide an array of benefits and programs throughout the year that can be accessed under “Member Services.” Membership is open to all residents of Will County. Farmers and non farmers working together at the local level sharing ideas to make us stronger.

As a local farmer, I know the challenges and successes of agriculture in south Chicagoland. As farmers adapt to urban growth and increase in population from the North, Will County Farm Bureau will continue to be there to represent its members’ interests both locally, in Springfield, and Washington D.C., while providing farmers and Will County residents avenues to connect and provide sustainable ways to source local products.

Will County Farm Bureau will continue to build upon its strong history with the success of our current members to lay the foundation for a sustainable future for Will County agriculture. Thank you for stopping by!
