Good News Brewing Company Announces New Franchise Location at Boonies Farm in Illinois

At Good News Brewing Company, people often ask us where we’re opening next.

The truth is, we’ve never been focused on where.

We’ve always been focused on who.

That is why we are incredibly excited to announce our newest Good News Brewing Company franchise location at Boonies Farm in Worden, Illinois.

Mark and Cindy Feldmann are exactly the kind of people we look for when bringing Good News to a community. They have spent years building a beautiful, family-friendly destination where people can gather, celebrate, relax, and create memories together. Their mission aligns perfectly with ours: creating a community gathering place where families, friends, neighbors, and visitors can connect.

Located on a stunning 70-acre farm less than an hour from St. Louis, Boonies Farm has become a popular destination for families, seasonal events, outdoor fun, and overnight glamping experiences. Guests can stay in luxury dome tents, tiny homes, and enjoy private wood-fired hot tubs while experiencing the beauty of the Illinois countryside. The farm also features animals, walking trails, outdoor activities, and gathering spaces that make it a truly unique destination. (Boonies Farm)

What Boonies Farm already had was an incredible gathering place.

What it needed was craft beer and pizza.

Soon, guests will be able to enjoy Good News Brewing Company’s craft beer alongside our signature sourdough pizzas while spending time with family and friends on the farm. Whether you’re visiting for the afternoon, staying overnight in one of the glamping domes, attending a special event, or simply looking for a unique place to spend an evening, there will now be even more reasons to visit.

The timing couldn’t be better. Mark and Cindy are continuing to invest in the property by expanding guest amenities and renovating event spaces that will host weddings, celebrations, and community gatherings. Their vision is creating a year-round destination where people can gather, eat, drink, and enjoy life together. That vision fits perfectly with the Good News Brewing Company mission.

And let’s be honest—how many places can you enjoy a craft beer, eat a sourdough pizza, watch a sunset over a beautiful farm, and hang out with goats at the same time?

That’s right. They have goats.

If that doesn’t make you want to take a drive to Boonies Farm, we’re not sure what will.

We are honored to partner with the Feldmann family and excited to bring Good News Brewing Company to another incredible community gathering place. We can’t wait to share more updates as the project moves forward.

Welcome to the Good News family, Mark and Cindy!
