Welcome To The Farm!
Keller Farms, Inc. is a family-owned farming operation in Collinsville, Illinois and Charleston, Missouri. Located mainly in the American Bottoms of the Mississippi River Valley, the farm produces a variety of grain and specialty crops such as horseradish and sweet corn. We take great pride in our record of outstanding crop production. Our success is based on working closely with agricultural specialist from Illinois universities and other related farm and government agencies. Keller Farms provides university test plots for the development of enhanced crop varieties and resilience to environmental conditions. We then take a very aggressive and educated approach to maintaining soil fertility, controlling weeds and insects, providing added plant nutrients, preparing seedbeds, cultivating, and harvesting to maximize commodity production.
