Farmstand Products from Vanwassenhove Farms

Locally Grown, Naturally Produced

At Vanwassenhove Farms, our commitment to natural, sustainable farming extends beyond Berkshire pork and beef. We also offer a selection of farmstand products grown and produced right here on our farm in Cabery, Illinois. From farm-fresh eggs to nutritious hay and alfalfa, every product reflects our dedication to quality and care.


Our farmstand offerings are built on the same principles that guide our livestock operation—ethical practices, self-sufficiency, and transparency. We grow and produce items that support both our community and our farm ecosystem, providing families and fellow farmers with dependable, high-quality products they can feel good about using or serving.

Farm Fresh Eggs

Our hens are raised outdoors with access to fresh air, sunshine, and open spaces where they can scratch and forage naturally. Their diet is balanced and wholesome, supplemented with farm-mixed grains to promote healthy egg production.


The result is fresh, flavorful eggs with deep golden yolks and rich texture—a true reflection of natural farming. Customers often say they can taste the difference compared to store-bought eggs. We collect eggs daily to ensure freshness, and quantities vary seasonally based on flock production.


We take pride in offering eggs that are not only delicious but also produced responsibly, with animal welfare and quality always at the forefront.

Hay and Alfalfa

Our hay and alfalfa fields are an essential part of Vanwassenhove Farms. They provide feed for our livestock and also serve local farmers and animal owners who need high-quality forage.


We grow and harvest premium hay and alfalfa that’s clean, nutrient-rich, and properly cured. Each cutting is baled at the right moisture level to maintain freshness and reduce waste. Customers include cattle owners, horse farms, and small livestock producers who rely on our consistency and reliability.



Our hay and alfalfa are available in both small square bales and larger quantities upon request. We monitor field conditions closely to ensure every cutting meets high nutritional standards. Whether for feed or bedding, our forages provide dependable quality throughout the year.

Sawdust for Livestock and Bedding

In addition to feed and forage, Vanwassenhove Farms produces and supplies clean sawdust suitable for animal bedding. We understand the importance of maintaining dry, comfortable housing for livestock, and our sawdust offers excellent absorbency and cleanliness.


Sawdust is available in bulk or bagged form, depending on customer needs. It’s ideal for use in stalls, pens, and barns, helping keep animals dry and comfortable while reducing odors. We make sure all sawdust is free from contaminants, making it safe for use with pigs, cattle, horses, and poultry.



Our customers rely on our sawdust for its consistency, cleanliness, and ease of use. It’s one more way we support local agriculture and maintain a well-rounded, sustainable farm operation.

Seasonal Vegetables

In addition to livestock and grain crops, Vanwassenhove Farms maintains a seasonal vegetable garden that supplies our local community with fresh produce during the growing months.


Depending on the time of year, our garden may include:


  • Sweet corn
  • Tomatoes
  • Peppers
  • Green beans
  • Squash
  • Cucumbers
  • Lettuce and greens
  • Pumpkins

We grow these vegetables naturally, focusing on healthy soil, crop rotation, and minimal chemical use. Every crop is planted, tended, and harvested by hand, ensuring the produce meets our standards for freshness and quality.


By keeping our garden small and manageable, we can focus on flavor and nutrition rather than volume. Our customers appreciate knowing that their vegetables come straight from the same land that supports our livestock—grown with care and integrity.

Our Sustainable Farming Practices

Every product we grow or produce supports our goal of maintaining a balanced, sustainable farm. We rotate crops to promote soil health, manage manure responsibly to enrich fields naturally, and use farming techniques that conserve resources without sacrificing productivity.


By producing much of our own feed, bedding, and compost inputs, we reduce dependence on outside suppliers and close the sustainability loop right here on the farm. Our approach ensures that nothing goes to waste—each part of our operation contributes to the health of the whole.



This commitment to sustainability benefits both the land and our customers. When you buy from Vanwassenhove Farms, you’re supporting environmentally conscious agriculture that values stewardship and community responsibility.

Availability and Ordering

Our farmstand products are available seasonally, depending on harvest times and production levels. Eggs and hay are generally available year-round, while vegetables and alfalfa vary by season.


Customers can purchase directly from the farm or contact us in advance to confirm availability. For larger orders—such as hay, alfalfa, or sawdust—we recommend scheduling ahead of time to ensure supply.



Whether you’re a local resident looking for farm-fresh produce or a livestock owner needing reliable feed and bedding, Vanwassenhove Farms offers dependable, high-quality products backed by honest service.
