About Living Earth Farm

Living Earth Farm is located on fifteen acres in northeast Fulton County, Illinois. Owner, Anne Patterson, grew up on a farm in central Illinois. She is a registered dietitian and former food consultant. Her attitude about food and how it is grown began to change after she completed culinary studies in 1996 at The School of Natural Cookery in Boulder, Colorado. A few years later when she heard a speech by Patrick Holden, Director, Soil Association, United Kingdom, she knew she wanted to be a part of the renaissance of organic farming. Anne wanted high quality organic produce for her family and believed others in the community may also want locally grown produce, grown by sustainable methods.

"We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community, we may begin to use it with love and respect." - Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac, 1949
