Since 2019
Alisha and Kevin found The Blue Farm in 2019, fell in love with it, and spent 2 years renovating.
Now we are slowly trying to restore the land to native plants, grow & forage our food, and manage a challenging amount of forest.

Kevin
Kevin was born in England and moved to the US full-time in 2015. He has 2 children. He graduated in Physics in London and his career was in marketing and strategy. He still does some consulting, but mainly he gets to use chainsaws so is very happy!
CONSERVATION
The Blue Farm is a private conservation easement overseen by The Land Conservancy of McHenry County. We are both active members of TLC and we host volunteer days and an annual seed share event at the farm. We’re both keen supporters of their cause and proud to introduce our guests to their work!
