Farmers and farmland are two sides to one very precious coin.

Our programs currently include
--Central Illinois Farm Beginnings: a year-long course designed to help new and beginning farmers start and run sustainable farm businesses.
--Is Entrepreneurial Farming for you?: a four-hour workshop to help beginning farmers develop next steps for starting their sustainable farm businesses.

Iroquois County Animal Rescue was initially created in 2008 in response to the many domestic animals who were left displaced by the floods of January and February 2008 in Watseka, IL. Well, since then, our phone has continued to ring off the hook! We have since expanded our scope to include all of Iroquois County and are proud to provide its wonderful residents with this much needed service.
We exist to serve YOU- and to respond to every cry for help from a caring citizen that concerns an animal in need- and WE cannot exist without volunteer support. ICARe is a TRUE charity, with 100% of its income going right back to the animals we care for. As a 501(c) 3 non-profit, every dollar that you donate to us is tax deductible to you.
