For his September 2025 local business highlight, State Representative Bradley Fritts (R-Dixon) recognized Selmi’s in Rock Falls. Selmi’s is a locally-owned family farm, apple orchard, greenhouse, and more. Rep. Fritts met with fourth-generation owner Matt Selmi and presented him with a certificate of appreciation for the family’s decades of service, community involvement, and continued leadership.
“Selmi’s has been a household name in our region for generations,” said Rep. Fritts. “Under Matt’s leadership, they’ve carried forward their family’s legacy of growth, philanthropy, and strong community ties. From supporting local schools to donating goods and services for fundraisers, they show what it means to be deeply rooted in the community.”
The Selmi family business dates back four generations and has grown to become a regional staple. Today, Matt Selmi continues to expand its impact by hosting school groups from across the area, including the CEO program and students from Newman Central Catholic High School. The farm also regularly holds benefits and fundraisers to support local causes.
Rep. Fritts added, “What really stands out about Selmi’s is their generosity and willingness to give back. Whether it’s supporting schools, hosting students, or lending a hand through fundraisers, they work hard to make our community stronger.”
Selmi’s is located at 1206 Dixon Avenue in Rock Falls. For more information, you can visit their website at Selmi.com.
