At The Defender Farm, we focus on providing our community with products from the bounty of our farm. When you enjoy the benefits of our homemade, farm-fresh items, you’ll never want to go back to store-bought. Read on to learn about some of the products we offer.
Our honeybee hives produce ounce after ounce of golden, glittering honey. The bees enjoy gathering pollen from the flowers on our property – cosmos, zinnias and Illinois wildflowers grow rampant on the farm! When we have honey in stock, you’ll want to act fast before it’s sold out. We’re happy to deliver, so reach out to ask about our honey today!
Peppers grow easily on our property, producing pounds of produce in the summertime. Using our tried-and-true family recipe, we use our peppers to make hot sauce. Spice up your next meal and taste the difference our fresh peppers can make to your food. Supplies are limited so check back often – ours will soon be your favorite brand.
When our gardening routine slows down in the winter, we set our sights on the trees. By tapping into the maples on our property, we collect the sap that will eventually wind up as syrup. It can take upwards of 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup! We believe the process is worth it though, so reach out to us to learn when we have maple syrup in stock.
