In 1998, the Cityof Lake Forest acquired a 16-acre parcel of land, including the original farm complex buildings that were part of an early 20th century gentleman's farm, known as ELAWA FARM. Adjacent to ecologically significant Middlefork Savana, this purchase created an opportunity for a unique partnership of public and private organizations to collaborate in the preservation and use of this property.
Today, Elawa Farm is managed by the Elawa Farm Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)3. The Middlefork Savana is part of Lake County Forest Preserve.

Elawa Farm is truly one of the Northshore's hidden gems. We love visiting the farmer's market Friday and Saturday mornings. Gaby, the market coordinator, and her team are always so welcoming and upbeat. Cannot recommend this place enough!
