For four generations the Hoekstra's have produced potatoes on the rich sandy soils of eastern Kankakee County in Illinois. Today, we at Wm. Hoekstra & Sons are continuing in that tradition by concentrating on producing high quality potatoes for the chipping market. St. Anne, Illinois is our primary production area, however, we also raise potatoes in Oquawka, Illinois. Oquawka is located in western Illinois along the Mississippi River. Our harvest begins mid-July and extends through October.

Commitment to quality has always been a priority at Wm. Hoekstra & Sons. Our growing practice of using irrigation along with an IPM (Integrated Pest Management) program has allowed us to produce high quality potatoes in an efficient and environmentally sound manner.

Our commitment to quality is evident at our grading facility as well as in the field. In our newly installed lab, we cook potato chip samples to check for quality. That way we can be certain that every load shipped meets our customers requirements.

Thank you for visiting our farm.
