Tempel Farms Organics is a diversified farm located in Old Mill Creek, Illinois. We practice sustainable organic agriculture that enriches our soil and provides a healthy environment for growing high quality vegetables, fruit, cut flowers and pasture raised poultry, eggs and honey. While transitioning 65 acres to become certified organic we raise all our crops adhering to the strict standards of organic certification. That means no harmful herbicide or pesticide use and no petroleum based fertilizer. Our pastured-poultry are raised on organic corn and soy based feeds with no antibiotics or medications and have plenty of fresh air, sunshine and vitamin rich "greens" on their pasture home.
We strive to educate our customers about the benefits of eating locally raised, organic food as well as the many benefits of supporting local agriculture. Today our Community Supported Agriculture program, CSA, provides 125 families with freshly harvested vegetables and fruit from June through the end of October. With our land and farming skills along with your support we'll be able to continue growing for many more families and for many more years to come.
Tempel Farms Organics is cultivating its future with a focus on closing the agricultural loop by producing all the needs of our farm. This method will include growing our own feed grain for our animals and producing compost for vegetables. With a planned road side farm store, we will be able to supply our community with our farm raised products including additional acres for pastured pork and beef, cheese, table grapes and more. We could all look forward to a diverse agricultural community right here in Old Mill Creek, Illinois.
We take much pride in growing clean, fresh food for a healthy you and a healthy environment. Please feel free to contact us with any comments or questions.
Your farmers- Chris and Tania Cubberly along with Tempel Farms Family, thank you for your support.
