Rochelle Illinois
The Prairie State!
Our Rochelle, Illinois farm is about an hour west of Chicago. It services Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Missouri. At 160,000 square feet, this greenhouse produces one million pounds of produce per year.

Fun Fact
Instead of pesticides, we release beneficial bugs (think: ladybugs) to control insect populations inside the greenhouse.

I am in love with your Sunny Crunch!!!! Drive all the way to Mariano’s in Crystal Lake IL from Huntley IL just to buy it. Very particular about my food sourcing (organic, Non GMO, etc.) and your products fill the bill! Thank you so much for what you do... hope you expand to more stores in the area.
