Over the years, the Kilguses have devised solutions to diversify the farm business and include more family members. One of these decisions was the construction of an on-farm creamery. In 2009, Kilgus Dairy began bottling and distributing their own milk and Kilgus Farmstead was born.

Environmental sustainability is achieved on the Kilgus dairy farm through practices such as reducing soil loss with pasture rotational grazing, using crop rotation to minimize weed-insect-disease pressure, improving soil fertility with manure management, and using compost bedded cow housing which increases cow comfort and longevity.

Kilgus Farmstead products — including fresh pasteurized milk, Jersey beef, Berkshire pork and Boer goat meat — can be found in a wide variety of restaurant and retail locations throughout central Illinois and the Chicagoland area, in addition to their own Kilgus Farmstead Country Store located at the farm.
