Our History Mayneland Farm has been growing and selling vegetables and fruits since 1976. The original 10 acre parcel was bought in 1949. In 1952 and 1954 two additional parcels were bought completing the present 15 acres. In the mid-seventies a close family friend, Don Zietlow, interested my mother in growing and selling vegetables. We already had the farm machinery bought in the 1950s for traditional grain farming, so it was a good match. My mother grew up on a farm in West Chicago and she lov

The listing showed the patch closed for last season, so it's worth confirming current status before visiting.
