Heritage FS is a locally owned agricultural cooperative serving producers in Ford, Iroquois, Kankakee, Will and DuPage counties in Northeastern Illinois and Newton County, Indiana in Northwest Indiana.

As the name might imply, Heritage FS has a long history. Heritage predecessor's date back to the 1920s when companies such as the Ford County Farm Supply, Kankakee Coal & Oil, Will County Farm Supply, Iroquois Farm Supply and DuPage Farmers supply were founded. Each of those companies was a result of studies by their respective county Farm Bureaus as farmers of the 1920's were mechanizing their operations, requiring gasoline rather than hay for fueling "horse-power".

These companies started with one or two delivery trucks, a small warehouse and 8,000 to 16,000 gallons of storage. As the needs of farmers continued to grow, so did the needs of the single county cooperatives serving them. Ford & Iroquois joined as did Will and DuPage.

On Aug. 1, 1992 Heritage FS was born through consolidation of Ford-Iroquois FS and Kankakee Service Co., with Will-DuPage services merging with Heritage on March 1, 2001. In March 2012, Heritage Fs started operations in Morocco, Indiana. The original five facilities have grown to 20 and the eight delivery units to over 150.

Heritage FS is a member of Eastern Grain Marketing, LLC (EGM), which has four grain facilities in Kankakee and Will counties, with a 5th facility under Construction in Kankakee County. EGM employs 12 fulltime employees and that number will grow with the addition of the new facility
