Abbey Farms is a non-profit farm operated by the Benedictine monks of Marmion Abbey. All proceeds benefit the Abbey and support its monastery, high school and overseas mission. It all started in the 1930s when the monks began growing and selling Christmas trees. Opened to the public in 1949, Abbey Farms has grown into a year-round, family-friendly destination.

Monastery Information:

Marmion Abbey is a Benedictine community of the Swiss-American Congregation in Aurora, Illinois. It was founded in 1933 by monks from St. Meinrad Archabbey in Indiana.  In 1947, Marmion was elevated from a dependent Priory of St. Meinrad to an independent Abbey.

The first apostolate of the monks has been Marmion Academy, a Catholic and Benedictine non-profit college preparatory high school for young men. It offers a challenging college preparatory curriculum with a focus on spirituality and leadership. Students are from towns throughout northern Illinois.

In 1965, Marmion Abbey responded to the request of Pope John by establishing San Jose Priory & Seminary in Guatemala.  Until 1991, they were located in the city and Diocese of Solola. In 1991, the community and school moved to its present site in the city and Diocese of Quetzaltenango. In 2020, the priory and seminary were converted into a retreat center which now serves as a place for spiritual retreats and conferences for youth and adults.

Proceeds from Abbey Farms, the non-profit farm operated by monks, support Marmion Abbey, Marmion Academy and its work overseas.
