Things to do in Illinois, United States: The Best Farms

We are a working greenhouse and farm, 4 generations and 86 years of growing. For the Seasons of Your Life, Selmi's has homegrown flower and vegetable plants in the spring, fresh vegetables in the summer and a wonderful, fun Pumpkin Patch and Harvest Festival in the Fall. Be sure to check the website for hours open, as they change with the seasons.

We are excited to announce that we are reopening to the public. We've been working hard to retrain our existing staff, bring on new team members, learn a new ordering system and create the safest space possible for you. Our reopening will include limited indoor seating in our new Visitors Center (50 people), limited indoor seating in our original Tasting Room (8 people, beginning May 14th) and seating for over 100 in our outdoor Whiskey Garden. Here's some of the other changes and requirements you can expect: All cocktails will be served table side. Please find a seat and someone will take your order. When indoors, please wear a mask when traveling to/from your table. We have a new cocktail menu featuring some great new drinks (including a Manhattan!) Don't worry, most of our classics are still on the menu as well. Our updated hours and tour schedule: Friday: 4:30 - 8:30 with a 6PM tour. Saturday: 1:30 - 8:30 with tours at 2, 4 and 6 PM. Sunday: 1:30 - 5:30 with a 2 PM tour.
