Allerton Diversified Farm

The Diversified Farm is a model, diversified, small-scale farming operation located at the University of Illinois’ Allerton Park, near Monticello, Illinois, and is run by the Office of Continuing Education at the UIUC. The farm produces a wide variety of vegetable crops used by the Allerton Conference Center, and is also used for various programs, one of which provides internships for students seeking farming and marketing experience. The farm’s manager is Todd Statzer, an experienced grower and marketer, who has plans to diversify the farm’s enterprises into agri-forestry products and farmer training sessions to teach producers how to start and operate alternative farming enterprises for a strong local food system.
