Create Family Memories at Eckert’s Country Store and Farms...Starting as a simple roadside stand in 1910, the Eckert family now owns and operates farming, entertainment and retail entities in Belleville, Grafton and Millstadt, IL. They have grown from simple fruit orchards into family entertainment centers that feature special children’s activities, annual events, festivals and the Eckert’s Country Store and Restaurant. Eckert’s mission is "To Create Family Memories" for families. We’ve been entertaining families on our farms for many years. We invite you and your family to visit Eckert’s and share some of our country. It’s truly an experience you just can’t get in the city!
