About
Ward Farm Saint Charles
Our Story
Meet Stacy & Derek
Husband and wife in business and in life.
We grew up suburban kids. We have spent the majority of our careers in office buildings in Chicago, Derek auditing in the railroad industry and Stacy in real estate accounting. We got our first chickens in the summer of 2016 while living in the near western suburbs of Chicago and our love for growing our own food grew from there.
​
In 2021 we decided it was time to make our farm dreams a reality and moved our urban farm in the suburbs on to 30 acres located in unincorporated Saint Charles, Illinois.
Our Farm
We are a first generation family farm in Saint Charles, Illinois. We believe that animals should be raised on pasture in the sunshine, not in feed lots or confinement barns. Using regenerative practices we aspire to provide you with a source of locally grown and humanly raised produce, pork and eggs.
