McEachran Homestead is also proud to offer our own line of grape and fruit wines. Our wines are made in small batches with great detail given to a refreshing taste that reflects the country and northern Illinois wine. We grow our own grapes on our 1 acre vineyard and our fruit wines are made from some of our own fruit as well as fruit grown locally. We’re sure there is a McEachran Homestead wine to fit your special occassion.
Our philosophy at McEachran Homestead is “Keep it simple and homemade.” Our wine and the Farmers Market line is that way, so it only seemed fitting to incorporate other local homemade products into our store. Along with our own line, we also carry homemade items from the following local vendors.
Friendly Franseen Acres, located north of Poplar Grove, is our provider of Homemade Goat Milk Lotion and Soap. Their website is http://friendlyfranseenacres.com.
