We’re Jill and Gordon Muirhead

We live on the old Muirhead family farm just south of Plato Center, Illinois. Gordon grew up here with his father and mother and brother and sister. The family business was milking cows.

Jill is from Superior, Wisconsin. She spent her childhood summers on her uncle’s farm outside Washburn, and she’s always wanted to be a farmer.

We were married in 1984, and we have a bunch of children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Gordon is retired.

Jill raises alpacas.
