Turkeys On The Farm

From gathering the flock in the morning to enjoying turkey chats, the turkeys play an important role in our farm’s ecosystem and will soon provide nourishment for our Thanksgiving celebrations. Turkey reservations are now available, with several size and pick-up options to choose from. Plus, we’re inviting you to join us in the spirit of giving by donating a turkey to a family in need this holiday season.

Strengthening Local Food Systems

In light of recent disruptions, such as port closures, it's a timely reminder of the importance of local food systems. By supporting local farms, you’re making a conscious decision to invest in sustainable farming practices. Your choice helps keep our food supply stable and supports the story behind each meal. Whether or not supply chain issues affect grocery shelves again, we're dedicated to keeping you informed on how our farm continues to grow and serve our community.

Egg-citing news!

Back in August, one of the flocks experienced Egg Drop Syndrome, a condition that caused otherwise healthy hens to lay soft-shelled or shell-less eggs. This sudden shift caused a major shortage for about 2-3 weeks. But with the introduction of new laying hens to the farm, we're bouncing back, and these young hens are producing their first round of eggs—pullet eggs!

Farm-to-Table in Three Rivers

Farm-to-table dinners are a celebration of local farms, fresh ingredients, and the connections that bring them together. In August, Renee from Jake’s Country Meats attended a special farm-to-table meal at The Kent Eatery in Three Rivers, MI. The evening featured our pasture-raised chicken, along with produce from our friends at Corey Lake Orchards and Bankson Lake Farms. It was a wonderful opportunity to highlight the flavors of the season and the partnerships that help make local food so special.

Harvest Time is Here!

Harvest time in July? Last October, we planted soft red wheat, and now it's time to reap the benefits! Growing wheat may not be the most profitable, but it plays a crucial role in our crop rotation and provides quality straw for our animals. Discover how this choice helps us build healthier soil and a more sustainable farm.

Bacon on the brain...

Like many, we’re all about bacon, but sometimes we run into shortages. Discover why and explore some delicious alternatives while we work to meet the demand. Thank you for being part of our farming journey!
