Rooted in Faith, Family & Farming
Located in the heart of Grundy County, Illinois, IronSide Homestead is a small, family-owned farm dedicated to raising high-quality animals and providing our community with locally raised, nutritious food.
Rabbits – Raised for both meat and show. We currently raise:
Tamuks – known for heat tolerance and meat production
Californians – reliable and productive for meat and 4-H
Mini Rex – a favorite for showing and their plush velvet coats
Champagne d'Argents – a heritage breed prized for both meat and unique silver coloring
Sheep – Pasture-raised for delicious, lean meat
Goats - Nigerian Dwarf Goats registered with the ADGA for dairy products
Chickens – For farm-fresh eggs and meat
Turkeys – Raised seasonally for holiday meals and year-round enjoyment
Founded in 2021, our homestead began with a simple goal: to raise animals with care, provide our children with a deeper connection to food and land, and offer our neighbors a trusted source for ethically raised, local meat and eggs.
We focus on quality over quantity, sustainable practices, and animal welfare—because we believe good food starts with how it’s raised.
