I love this place. It's in the middle of nowhere and the peaches are So. Damn. Good. I mean, I…read moredon't even mess with grocery store peaches anymore, this orchard ruined them for me forever. I dream of these things. And on a hot summers day, their frozen peach slushie is the most perfect thing you could wish for. I think the only thing it's missing is some bourbon .. but hey, nobody's perfect.

Gotta' love Farm Valentino for fresh vegetables picked right from the farm. This is just about as…read more'Farm-to-table' as you can get. Find them at the farm itself (on US-136 a few miles west of Crawfordsville) or at the Crawfordsville farmers market on Pike Street every Saturday (at least through the end of October...). Their vegetables are sometimes so big it's scary ... as if the farm was built on the site of a nuclear accident! But as far as I know, they grow vegetables the old fashioned way ... with water, sunlight, fertilizer, and love (and not necessarily in that order). This place is yet another hidden gem of Montgomery County. Oh, and I like Valentino and Yusmin almost as much as I like their produce!

I've come here for years and always found this store to be one of the best County Markets, the…read morestore is always clean and the shelves are usually decently stocked. The only complaint I have is that management could be better. I came in the other day and i was having trouble finding pedialyte and when I went to ask the presumed manager Tija she was too busy gabbing to the cashier to listen to me. I eventually got tired of waiting and went to front desk to ask for help. I think management could learn a thing or two about how to treat their customers!!!​

Matt Chandler was amazing as I took a resident from Local Memory Care to visit the orchard, this…read morewas her dream to visit an orchard again as her family had an orchard when she was younger, Matt made accommodations, and was able to make this dream a reality. His kindness, willingness to go above and beyond for no other reason than to see a smile on a persons face. Matt knelt down on the ground to talk to resident and made her feel so welcomed and validated. We need more people in the world like Matt, who isn't just in it for business but has a heart to let his light shine. Thank you for making this experience happen, if you are looking for someone who truly cares support this orchard.

We were on our way to Cox's Plant Farm and we stopped to check out the produce and plant selection…read more Everyone was wearing masks, including the patrons, and they were monitoring the number of people inside the open air stand. An entrance and separate exit had been set up. The hanging baskets were affordable and gorgeous but I had already purchased my baskets. The annuals and perennials selection was limited but healthy and a nice variety. Once I went inside the stand I found prebagged greenbeans, tomatoes and new potatoes I had to take home with me. They were fresh and made for a nice summer meal. If you're in the area stop by and checkout the selection. It's a short drive from Plainfield on US 40.

July through September is a special time in East Central Illinois--it's when the sweetcorn ripens…read more Pretty much all the corn-on-the-cob you eat is sweetcorn, but as any serious corn connoisseur knows there are major differences among the ears of corn that you might eat on any given day. That pathetic, bland, starchy slightly chewy corn that you usually get from the grocery store is as far away from a real corn experience as you can be and still be eating the yellow stuff. There is something magical about day-fresh sweetcorn (that's corn that goes from stalk to pot in less than 24 hours). It can be boiled, blanched, roasted or grilled. It requires no butter or salt--the corn itself has a buttery flavor and is a touch salty (it tastes like what we are trying to replicate when we slather butter and salt on third-tier ears). It has a flavor and a texture that is unmatched. In fact, many people who are regularly able to get their hands on day-fresh corn will refuse to eat anything else. In Vermilion County, there's no better place to pick up fresh, locally grown sweetcorn than on of the Lingley Brother's stands that dot the county. These folks will pitch tents in parking lots and sell ears of corn out of the back of pickup trucks. Talk to the guys that are selling the corn--they'll let you know the inside scoop about when and where the corn was picked, when to expect there to be day-fresh corn through (I got to hear the sweetest of all sweetcorn sentences today--"we expect to have fresh until the first hard frost"). And at about $0.25 per ear this is one of the best food deals you will find anywhere. The Lingley Brothers know their corn. Find them at the following locations: Downtown Hoopeston - N. side of Main Street beween Rentway and Loraine Theater 119 Intersection - S. of Rossville at the intersection of IL Rt. 1 and Rt 136 Gutterridge Harley-Davidson - Tilton s. of Danville on IL Rt. 1 (Georgetown Road) Danville Farmers Market - N. of the Courthouse Annex on N. Vermilion in Kresge Park Rantoul - West of shopping area on the second curve by the Rantoul High School Attica/Williamsport - on the corner of 41 and 28 across from Beedles

Thank goodness for word of mouth, or I never would've found this place. It sits in the middle of…read morethe country, and is very easy to miss passing by if you aren't looking for it. I think I've seen 1 billboard in Champaign / Urbana for here.. maybe. But, a coworker of mine suggested I go and thank goodness she did. The food here is so delish. We got the chef tasting and wine pairing. 5 courses + 5 wines. The muscles we were served for the entree were the star of the show; Especially the sauce they were served in - killer. It's not particularly "fancy" inside, given you're on a farm. But, it is cute and clean. Do be weary when ordering because our bill came to just under $300 for 2 with the tasting menu. There are many other cheaper options on the menu and their menu is clearly priced online so there are no blindsides. This is a great place to go for a birthday dinner or celebration. You will enjoy the food (and the goats)
