Erehwon Farm – Naturally Grown Fresh Produce 

Tim Fuller and Beth Propst bring you fresh-picked, naturally grown vegetables, cut flower arrangements, and potted herbs and perennials from our farm just west of Geneva.  Tim gets up very early on Fridays, picks a selection of greens, and delivers to the market by 9 a.m.  – You can’t get veggies any fresher than that! We also have a growing CSA  program (weekly vegetable subscription, pick up at the farm)

We start each year growing over 30,000 plants, and vegetables, from that selection we bring shrub roses, annuals, perennials, ornamental grasses, and, when available and in-season, edible flowers, herbs and potted patio vegetables.  Know that we are always glad to share our knowledge, experience, tips and ideas with visitors, so stop by and say hello.  Thank you, and we hope to see you there!

Black Angus Beef

Growing up, we would often sell our best beef at county fairs and to a few friends. The result has always been the same. Once people try our hormone free, humanely cared for beef, they can never go back to the supermarket's cuts. Knowing the Schramer family and Farm Direct Black Angus is like the good old days of knowing your farmer. It's real peace of mind for you and your family.
  • Finest Black Angus Beef
  • Highest Quality
  • Hormone Free
  • Humanely Raised

Curds & Whey Cheese Company began with the humble cheese curd and the demand to provide fresh curds at local farmer markets. In 2003 the St. Charles Farmers Market was going out of business. We moved the Market to its current site at Baker Memorial United Methodist Church and undertook to rebuild the Market under the sponsorship of Baker Church. Faced with the prospect of losing the Market's cheese vendor as a result of the local cheese shop going out of business, Rob and Debb Murphy formed Curds & Whey Cheese Company with the initial goal of selling artisan and regional cheeses at the St. Charles Market. Along with great cheeses came fresh cheese curds from one of our favorite cheese makers, Renard's Cheese Company of Door County, Wisconsin.

Over the past four years, Curds & Whey expanded its business to include local farmer markets in the central Fox Valley Illinois region. Curds & Whey specializes in unique regional artisan cheeses, fine imported international cheeses, dairy products including butter, farmstead milk, farm fresh local eggs and related local foodstuffs.
