Four Winds Farm has a 3,000 square foot herb garden certified by the State of Illinois Herb Association, and an organic vegetable garden. In the teaching center at Four Winds Farm you can attend "Make and take" classes where you'll learn to identify various types of herbs and their medicinal uses and learn their proper culinary preparation.
