Arnold's Farm raises grass and grain finished beef, pork, and chicken available for purchase at our farm by appointment, at selected restaurants and retail outlets, or by home delivery to the Chicago area. The Arnold Family Farm is located in the Apple River valley and surrounding hills near Elizabeth, IL, in the heart of beautiful Jo Daviess County. We are the fourth and fifth generation of Arnolds to farm this land and take great pride in caring for it. We strive to produce our products in harmony with the natural environment and use systems that need few commercial inputs, such as rotational grazing for the livestock and crop rotations for the fields. We bring our food products to you just the way we would want to eat them ourselves. We prefer chemical– and antibiotic-free food which is pure and wholesome, yet tender with good texture and excellent flavor. No mammalian by-products are used in our livestock feeds. Our beef and pork are processed by A.J.’s Lena Maid Meats in Lena, IL, a USDA-inspected processing plant with an excellent reputation and packaged in easy to use size portions. The poultry is dressed by Central Illinois Poultry Processing, Arthur, IL, also a USDA-inspected processor. We think you will find our meat a pure, fresh, and flavorful product. We encourage your comments and questions. We are open by appointment, or you can order online at www.arnoldsfarm.com or www.jdlf.org.
