Maple sugaring
We tap our own trees, collect the sap by bucket and boil it down over a wood fire into syrup.
Est. 2009 · Windsor, Illinois
Grown, gathered and made by hand on our family farm.
A family farm in central Illinois, and a small line of natural body care made by hand in our kitchen.
Our farm
A working farm, run by a family that likes to work together.
Hickman Farms is a small family farm outside Windsor. We keep pigs and laying hens, grow a big kitchen garden and a field of cut flowers, and tap our maple trees every late winter.
Our body care products started as things we made for our own family first. Everything is done by hand, in small batches, with the whole family pitching in.
Above all, we are a family of faith. We see this land and every season on it as a gift from God, and we try to care for it in a way that honors Him.
The farm year
Every season brings its own work.
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1
