We are proud to announce that the Illinois Department of Agriculture has designated Rebman Farms as a Centennial Farm.
To qualify as a Centennial Farm, a straight or collateral line of descendants must own the property for at least 100 years. The Rebman Family received this historical distinction to their farm after their application for designation as a Centennial Farm was approved.
"I am pleased to be able to recognize the Rebman Family," said Agriculture Director Joe Hampton. "This designation honors them today and their ancestors of yesterday who labored through prosperity and adversity to maintain their family farm. The Centennial Farm program helps to reinforce that family farming remains a viable entity in Illinois agriculture."
The Illinois Centennial Farms program has recognized more than 7,000 farms since its inception in 1972. Centennial Farm owners receive outdoor display signage and a certificate signed by the Governor of the State of Illinois and the Director of the Illinois Department of Agriculture.
