Lots of great items in the store and ice cream. Fresh meat from the farm and very friendly.
High quality meat, frozen meals, and ice cream.
Hidden outside of town. Great selection of fresh beef. And ice-cream.
Had some great ice cream from here. You won't be disappointed.
Best chocolate milk I've ever had!
Some of the best folks you'll ever be grace with speaking to. Be best dairy, and sheesh, what amazing Jersey breed beef, Berkshire hog (best pork chops I've ever eaten) and the sweetest goat and lamb to land on my plate. I've missed the ice cream, but I hear tell it is amazing.
An amazing store with an amazing legacy. A must stop when you’re in Fairbury. Matthew, Jenna and Arlene were all wonderful. We loved it!!
Rebuilding the food system, from the farm up

I've heard so much about this place. First off I have never been a fan of Gelato but their raspberry cheesecake gelato is phenomenal. Can't wait to go back and get more. They have raw milk, meats, cheeses, freezer meals, old fashioned glass bottled sodas, decor, it's just a 5 minute f drive from the center of Fairbury. They have honey too and soaps that are made by someone who uses their milk.... P.S. I went back the next day for more Raspberry Cheesecake Gelato!!
Very much worth the drive from Dwight. Excellent products and a great atmosphere. The ribeye steaks were the best I've ever had, the quality is so much better than the grocery store ribeye's. The selection of fresh dairy products is amazing. I will definitely be making the trip to load up again.
We found ourselves in Fairbury at that famous used clothing store and I had a lot of extra time and we went to Kilgus Farmstead and country store on our way back to Peoria. What a wonderful stop. My two favorite items was the chocolate milk and we bought some pork patties for breakfast tomorrow.
