Owned and lovingly operated by Jason and Jennifer Duensing, Illinois Country Harvest Heritage Farm and Gardens rests quietly in the rolling countryside near Prairie du Rocher, Illinois. To step onto its grounds is to step back in time—into a world where farming is guided by tradition, patience, and respect for the land.
Across 12 acres of family farmland, every corner is carefully tended. Heirloom crops thrive alongside native and heirloom flowers, while heritage animals roam in harmony with the landscape. Antique farming equipment hums with history, reminding visitors that this is a place where the past is not forgotten but woven into the present.
Here, farming is done “the old-fashioned way”—slow, deliberate, and deeply respectful of the environment.

As a Certified Naturally Grown farm, Illinois Country Harvest resists shortcuts, choosing instead to nurture soil health and biodiversity. Each seed planted, each animal raised, and each flower harvested is part of a larger promise: that the land will remain abundant, balanced, and diverse for generations to come.
