CHICAGO, IL – Emily Johnson, president of
Chicago-based Taylor Johnson announced the public relations and marketing firm now
represents Serosun Farms, a revolutionary mixed-use agrihood development born
from 400 acres of bucolic farmland in Hampshire, Ill.
Future home to 114 environmentally kind luxury
residences, Serosun Farms is the creation of John DeWald and his sister, Jane
Stickland, an equine professional. Together, the siblings have a strong
commitment to land preservation, environmental sustainability and slowing the
suburban sprawl beginning to encroach on the agriculturally rich region.
Located 50 miles northwest
of downtown Chicago, Serosun Farms is, at its core, a farm preservation project
with 75 percent of the estate reserved for farming and open space/natural
areas. The community embraces the natural beauty and agricultural history of
the area while offering residents a host of amenities and lifestyle options in
celebration of rural living.
Upon completion, Serosun
Farms will offer a variety of interactive amenities including an on-site
farmer’s market to give residents a true farm-to-table experience with fresh
produce, farm-raised meat and dairy and a variety of specialty items, many of
which will be grown on, and harvested from, the farm.

Future plans also call for
a restaurant/market/artisanal village and a community center with swimming
pool, game room and event facilities. Currently, residents have access to an
existing equestrian center with stables as well as fully stocked fishing ponds.
A 5-acre demonstration garden dedicated to
specialty vegetables and fruits is also operational and focuses on growing
heirloom and heritage varieties, while maintaining the valuable genetic
diversity of the crops.
Eight miles of trails for walking, running or riding,
restored woodlands, prairie and wetlands, and regular cultural events round out
a healthy place to live, work, learn and grow.
Custom homes at Serosun
Farms will offer a wide variety of architectural sensibilities and
state-of-the-art sustainable and healthy design elements ranging from
geo-thermal heating, cooling and hot water systems to advanced home automation
and green roofs.
