BOUNTY OF KANE
Are you a localvore? Webster's defines localvore (or locavore) as: one committed to eating and learning about foods grown close to home. Well, whether you want your greens from Geneva, your Brussel sprouts from Batavia, your spinach from St. Charles or your pumpkins from Pingree Grove, the Bounty of Kane is your source for local produce, grown locally, right here in Kane County.
If you want to eat local, the Bounty of Kane is a convenient, printable directory of more than 30 Kane County farms that sell direct to consumers and local Farmers Markets. The Bounty of Kane includes a map and contact information for each farm and Farmers Market. Scroll down the page for listings and links to local farms.
