A Day on The Farm With Eddie Yunker

Mokena's Front Porch

Send us a text

This is the most in depth video recorded conversation with Eddie Yunker, the last owner of the historic McGovney-Yunker Farm, that is know of. Before Mr. Yunker passed away, he sold his farm to the Mokena Park District, ensuring this property will be controlled and appreciated by the public.
Brian Yunker, the grandson of Eddie Yunker, gave this video to Matt and asked that we share it with the community. If you never knew Mr. Yunker, you will feel like you know him after watching this video. If you knew him, you will probably remember how much you miss having him around.
You can find our episodes about the farm on our website and YouTube page!
Matt and Israel want to extend a huge thank you to Brian Yunker, for sharing this video with us and allowing us to share it with the public.

For the past year we have been doing more video episodes of our podcast through our YouTube page and our new website! The videos can be found through our website, www.mokenasfrontporch.com and our YouTube Page https://www.youtube.com/@MokenasFrontPorch . Thanks for listening!
