We are the 96%: Meet the Gould Family 

96% of farms in Illinois are owned and operated by families just like the Gould family.
Gould Farms looks quite a bit different than the two-man farm it started as in 1963. We’ve grown a lot over the years to make room for future generations to farm. Some of us have pursued passions and commitments off the farm - like serving in the Navy and working for the United States Department of Agriculture - but we’ve always been drawn back to farm life. Weighing what’s best for our families, the environment, and our business is no small task, but each harvest we’re reminded just how fulfilling farming can be.
