Illinois Farm Families is a coalition of farmers committed to:
• Showing you how we grow your food
• Answering your questions about farms, farmers and farming
• Sharing with you what happens on modern Illinois farms
We know you care about how your food is raised. We do, too, because we feed our families the same food we grow for you and your family. We realize that you probably have a lot of questions about farming – about why, when and how we use chemicals, antibiotics and hormones, about how we care for our animals.
