Meet Our Farmers
SOUTHERN ILLINOIS
Our family is located in Southern Illinois trying to live the simple life. After being married for a few years and beginning to raise children of our own we began learning the importance of knowing what we eat and where it comes from. Our family is blessed with five beautiful children and we grow and raise as much of our own food as possible. We believe that food is medicine. The most nourishing food is real and grown the way God intended. We feel the best way to know your food is to know your farmer and we look forward to answering any and all questions about what goes into the products we sell. We are dedicated to offering nourishing, quality, local food that your family will love.
JACKSONVILLE, ILLINOIS
Welcome to Bland Family Farm, a family owned and operated organic farm in Illinois. My wife Marcella and I started the farm in 2016 with one simple goal: to make quality, healthy products for our family and our local community. From produce, to eggs, to chicken, to beef, our mission was to grow our food as nature intended; naturally.
We are proud to share our passion both for the farm and for sustainable agricultural practices with our four amazing kids Lincoln, Hadley, Morris, and Henry. We grew and raised our own food first because we wanted superior food and know where it came from. We wanted the highest quality, most nutrient dense food. This became a priority for our family and the passion for this translated into something we could offer for others.
