Nick Choate-Batchelder and Becky Stark own and operate Midnight Sun Farm. We started farming in 2010 on land rented from the Liberty Prairie Conservancy in Grayslake, IL. In 2014, we moved to our current farm home in
Capron, IL (near Harvard). We were lucky to be able to partner with a couple who believe sincerely in the importance of local agriculture and small farms, and have enabled us to purchase this land and grow our business through their flexibility and support.

At our farm, we grow vegetables and herbs and raise laying hens and, sometimes, turkeys. These days we do all of the work of farming and marketing ourselves.

We follow farming practices that preserve the ecological integrity of our farmland and the areas surrounding us. You can read more about our growing practices and how we raise our animals here.
