Wishful Acres is located on 10 peaceful acres in rural Northwestern Illinois, near Freeport and Lena. It is a Certified Naturally Grown Farm. Penny and her family raise chickens for eggs and farm using all natural methods. They raise organic vegetables to sell at local Farmer's Markets and grocery stores, hops for beer brewing, fruits, and more. Penny runs a booth at the Freeport Farmer's Market, which is on Saturday mornings in the CVS parking lot. (You can coupon at CVS, then head outside for great deals on organic produce!) In addition to harvested, homegrown products, she sells a wide variety of young plants, started from seed and raised in her greenhouse, that you can plant in your own garden. Even better, if you are unable to make it to the Wishful Acres booth at Farmer's Market, Penny offers FREE home delivery of her goods to those within the Freeport area. Wishful Acres puts out a weekly newsletter, where she features new products for sale and delivery, recipes, tips and much more. You can subscribe to her newsletter by contacting Wishful Acres at wishfulacres@gmail.com. Type 'Subscribe' in the subject line. Each week, you can reply by email with your order. If you are not home on Saturday (when she does home delivery), you can leave a cooler out for her with payment inside. You can learn more about Wishful Acres at All-natural-mama.blogspot.
