Meet The Willard Family

Our farm began with my great-great-grandfather, who literally walked to western Illinois from Kentucky. Today, I farm with my uncle and grandfather; I mark the fifth generation to farm here. The best part about farming? Getting to work closely with family. I could not accomplish what I do without their help and advisement. Our job might look different than yours, but here’s where we’re similar: We eat the same food and have values we’re striving to uphold every day.

There’s a lot of hard work that goes into a harvest season, but also a lot of satisfaction that comes out of it.

My wife Nicole and I are raising our two boys Bennett and Archer on the farm, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

There’s a lot of wisdom and passion that gets handed down from one farmer to the next. For me, that’s been my Grandfather Phillip.
