This blog is a reprint of an article from September 1st, 2017, originally featured in the South Bend Tribune and written by Marshall V. King. It highlights Jake's Country Meats and our distinctive approach to raising livestock. We prioritize happy, pasture-raised pigs and provide antibiotic-free, hormone-free meat. Our commitment to quality resonates with consumers and chefs, making us a respected choice in the Midwest's food scene.
During National Farmers Market Week, I found myself reflecting on an older blog post that still carries weight. Written by Renee, the post delves into a typical market day, highlighting the connections with fellow vendors and sharing a heartwarming story about her sister Jamie's return to the market after years, showcasing the impact Farmer Nate has on his customers.
This week just happens to be National Farmers Market Week 2021 so I thought I'd take some time to explore markets and what makes them so important to the local food system. Having worked at farmers markets for over 10 years I'm still a market junkie and often try to visit a local market even when on vacation. There are very few other places where you have the opportunity to connect with the actual folks that produce something that you use every day. The ability to speak directly to local producers and learn about their life and their products is such a gift.
