The Ocean Farm is For Sale!

The Ocean Farm is a 154 acre research, education, and demonstration farm owned by Louis and Isabel Reuschel.  The property is located 4 miles East of Golden, Illinois.  The Reuschel’s are looking for a purchaser or non-profit organization that will continue the dream…

The Reuschel’s would like to retire and share The Ocean Farm with the public.  They do not want it to be simply a park or place for picnicking.  They want visitors to learn about agriculture, food production, and the balance with nature, while they have fun.

As they look to the future, they realize they will not always be around to welcome people to Ocean Farm.  The Ocean Farm could provide the opportunity for visitors to learn in a “hands on” environment.  The Ocean Farm of the future will be a jewel of sights, sounds, aromas, experiences, and “character building” events.

Louis is working to make Ocean Farm a harmonious place where nature and agriculture compliment each other.  He has established an organic contour strip cropping rotation that uses corn, soybeans, oats, alfalfa, and buckwheat.  Louis has enrolled 56 acres in the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program as part of the LaMoine Watershed.  The riparian areas will be planted to native hardwoods and adjacent areas have been planted to native prairie plants.  The farm has achieved organic certification.  The park like setting of the farm makes it a favorite to everyone!

“To work with Nature and God’s creation of perfect soil, in a way that helps others see and appreciate that healthy food can be grown and produced economically, while improving the soil health and structure in order to preserve it for all the future generations.”

-Louis Reuschel
