Our Story
A Simple Idea.
Even with my little experience in farming, I knew one thing to be true; this is hard!
My first experience in farming came from backyard beekeeping at our home. My husband was the driving force behind this, but with some time (and a very secure bee suit) I began dreaming of a future plan for our little honeybees. You can say this dream is hereditary, because around the same time, my brother started sharing his passion for growing food by setting up one of Illinois first aquaponics farm. I saw his hard work, his dedication, and just knew I had to be involved. Fishy Green Organic Farm was started and with that came new challenges, like where are we going to grow all of this food?
Not long after, a gorgeous piece of land located in the fox valley area became available and we just knew we had to have it! After some time had passed, so had our dreams. As huge lovers of wine and viticulture, we knew the land would make for the perfect space for a winery and small vineyard.
Now, years later, the community is witnessing our dreams becoming a reality. The Winery at Weathered Ways is set to open late 2025 and we could not be more excited to see you all here!
