About Johnson's Farm & Market

Prophetstown, Illinois

We are small family farmers located in Northwestern Illinois operating our two family farms for the past 28 years. The two farms that make up our operation were started by our grandfathers and great-great grandfathers and we are dedicated to keeping them in the family.

Pork and grain production have been the foundation of the farms for generations. Grandpa Johnson raised pure-bred, award-winning Duroc hogs and we want to continue the tradition of quality. Our focus has become producing high-quality pork for our own consumption and to sell to friends and family, leading us to raise pure-bred Berkshires for the quality and incredible flavor of their meat. We then expanded to raising a few Angus-cross cattle for our own beef and most recently started raising chickens for quality meat and laying hens for pasture-raised eggs. Our chickens are raised on organic feed and all of our livestock are raised without hormones or regular antibiotics.

With the increasing interest in purchasing good quality, local, farm-raised meats we decided the next step was an on-farm meat market, expanding our production to provide local customers with high-quality, affordable meat and eggs. Our focus remains on raising quality meats and products in the tradition of our grandfathers.
