Lions Club Gobbler Gallop Please check back for this year's date and time. Chief Shabbona Forest Preserve – Chief Shabbona Forest Preserve is located 7 miles west of our orchard in Shabbona, IL. It is named after Chief Shabbona, a Pottawami Indian chief who lived in the area in the 1800’s. The forest preserve has beautiful nature trails, a playground and shelter houses. Shabbona Lake State Park – Located 7 miles away in Shabbona, IL, this beautiful state park has very nice picnic areas, hiking trails, great fishing and abundant wildlife. HOKA Turkey Farm - Located 2 miles west of Waterman just off of Rt. 30. These turkeys are raised on open ranges at the Kauffman family farm. The turkeys are given a feed which contains corn grown on the farm. They are never fed hormones or antibiotics for growth promotion. The results are a better quality and more flavorful meat. Waterman Winery and Vineyards – Located just an 1/8 of a mile from our orchard, Waterman Winery and Vineyards produces unique DeKalb County white and red wines. The grapes used are varieties suitable for northern Illinois. The 10 acre vineyard includes 30 cultivars, many of which are French-American hybrids. The winery is currently open Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 4:00 p.m. Call 815-264-3268 or visit their website at www.watermanwinery.com for further information. Stop by for a visit and taste DeKalb County's Sunset Wine. We can personally vouch for the quality! |
