About Bloomington, Normal, and the homes around them
Bloomington is the county seat of McLean County, and it forms a twin-city community with Normal immediately to the north. July 2025 Census population estimates put Bloomington near 78,800 people and Normal near 53,300. Illinois Wesleyan University has its campus in Bloomington at 1312 Park Street, in ZIP 61701. Illinois State University, with about 22,000 students, is in Normal, the town that took its name from the old teachers college. The two cities share one metro, but they do not share one kind of kitchen.
Bloomington's standard ZIP codes are 61701, 61704, and 61705. Older neighborhood associations closer to the core include Downtown Bloomington, South Hill, Miller Park, Near East, and Dimmett's Grove. Farther from downtown, city maps also name places such as Hawthorne Hills, Brookridge, Fox Creek Road, and Eagle Crest. Those names describe the city. They are not a promise that every street is on a particular delivery stop, so confirm your own address when you order.
Housing here is mixed. About 62 percent of Bloomington homes are owner-occupied, while Normal's owner-occupied share is closer to 55 percent, so the two cities have different ownership and rental mixes. If you live in an older 61701 house or a Normal rental with only the freezer attached to the refrigerator, a smaller bundle or individual cuts may fit better than a half beef. If you have a garage or basement chest freezer, measure it before you choose a bulk share. The farm plans on about one cubic foot for every 35 to 40 pounds of packaged meat.
McLean County farmland surrounds this metro. USDA figures reported by WGLT show McLean County farmers ranked first in the nation for total corn and soybean production in both 2022 and 2023. That is the countryside this city sits in, not a claim about how any one Bloomington household shops. When Illinois State and Illinois Wesleyan calendars bring students back in late summer or send them home in December and May, the number of people eating at home can change, and so can the amount of meat you want in the freezer.
We deliver to Bloomington and Normal, but we do not have a storefront there. The farm remains at 16307 Washington Rd, Morton, IL 61550. For beef by hanging weight, start with bulk beef. For a fixed mixed box, see current specials.
How Bloomington freezer space should shape your order
Start with the freezer you have, not with a slogan. University of Illinois Extension says a home freezer should hold 0°F, and that you should check it with a thermometer placed between packages. Little Blue's Farm's own double-wrapped, flash-frozen beef holds quality for 12 to 18 months at 0°F, with ground beef best used within 12 months. Date what you put in, and keep the oldest packages toward the front.
A refrigerator freezer in a downtown apartment or an older 61701 kitchen fills up fast. A chest freezer in a garage or basement can hold a larger share, but its interior still needs to stay at 0°F. Check the temperature inside the freezer, especially if it is kept in a garage exposed to summer heat, before you commit to a quarter or half. Individual cuts on the menu suit specific meals. Named bundles on the specials page, including First-Timer Box, Breakfast Bundle, Grill Pack, Family Staple, Ultimate Beef Bundle, Whole Freezer, and Freezer Filler when listed, group several products in one order. Pork shares and poultry are also available when in stock.
We have a seasonal Fall Bundle running now: the Freezer Filler Fall Bundle at $779.99, which carries beef, pork, and chicken into your freezer.
How Bloomington orders move from the farm to your freezer
The farm carries boxes into the freezer rather than leaving meat on a porch. Standard delivery is one to two weeks from the order date, depending on which routes are running. If you cannot be home, say so when the delivery window is set so the meat stays frozen. Pickup at the farm in Morton is by appointment only, with no walk-ins.
