Remaining true to our values and goals, we continue to fill our farm with nature’s abundance. Our USDA Certified Organic produce remains at the center of everything we do at Heritage Prairie Farm.
Sometimes we just can’t say enough about our beautiful Certified Organic Farm! This time though, we are going to let these gorgeous photos speak for themselves. From some of our favorite vegetables to the adorable baby goats, the view of our farm is always changing and growing. It’s nearly impossible to take a bad photo at Heritage Prairie Farm and our wedding couples certainly prove that’s true!
Located on the outskirts of Chicago, Illinois — near Elburn, Geneva, St. Charles — our local farm has quickly seen wide success throughout the region.
Deepen your connection to Heritage Prairie Farm as you enjoy a night at one of our amazing Farm Dinners. All of our monthly farm dinners are made fresh on the farm with the helping hands of our farm crew. Our chef carefully prepares each farm dinner menu by selecting the very best fresh ingredients from our Certified Organic Farm. We serve our monthly farm dinners family-style as you take in the many beautiful surroundings—many of which created your farm-to-table dinner! Many of our monthly farm dinners celebrate the seasonal themes happening on the farm —heirloom, roots, and honey. But no matter the season, these very special evenings make a wonderful way to relax with friends and family.
Heritage Prairie Farm’s Wood Fired Pizza Nights are truly a one-of-a-kind summer experience that has quickly become a local favorite. However, due to the local popularity of our Wood Fired Pizza Nights, our pizzas sell out very quickly. Pizza Nights are truly a local event for our Geneva, St. Charles, and Elburn communities. Wednesday Pizza Nights are weekly events from June to August. For more information, please check our Pizza Night calendar for specific dates.
