A Letter From Your Farmer


The Christmas tree lights cast a soft glow in the night sky as snowflakes

float on the wind, silently falling to the ground. The mistletoe and

stockings are hung, and the gifts are wrapped. Hot Cocoa and cookies

await Santa’s arrival. A peace and calm settles over me as Christmas

carols fill the night air with Jingle Bells, and Silent Night.


Reflecting on all the different ways that God has blessed me, calms my

heart. He sent a baby from heaven to a stable of hay to be the King of

the world. A Savior to love us, care for us, and bring peace to this

world. When the noise of this world starts to overwhelm me, I am

reminded to keep my eyes fixed on Jesus. Only He can give the peace

and calm that my heart desires. I hope that this Christmas season will

be full of peace and calm for you, your family, and friends.


Market season has ended. The drops have begun. We have traded the

chaos of summer, for the challenge of winter. None of this would be

possible without you. We have been blessed with great people, You!

You posses a passion for good food, and make a commitment to

Jake’s, for which we are forever grateful and humbled.


We want to thank you for a great 2022 season while looking forward to 2023.

As you celebrate this Christmas with family and friends, may you know

the Joy, Peace, and Love that God gives to each of us.

Merry Christmas!

Lou Ann Robinson (your 6th generation farmer)

National Farmers Market Week

National Farmers Market Week is here, and we’re celebrating 25 years of connecting with you through the markets! Over the years, our weekends have been spent traveling early mornings, meeting new friends, and sharing our farm’s story. Those markets have shaped our farm, our practices, and our community in ways we never expected. Join us as we celebrate this special week and the relationships that make it all possible.

Sweet Corn Season

Every summer, when the corn gets tall and the heat settles in, we’re reminded of just how much this season means to us. Before the first ear is picked or the signs go up by the roadside, the memories start coming back. Radios playing, quarters clinking, long days at the farmstand. This is a look back and a celebration of how sweet corn season still brings us home.

Why Antibiotic-Free Means More Than You Might Think

When you see “antibiotic-free” on a label, it might seem simple, but there’s a whole lot more behind those words. On our farm, it’s not just a claim. It’s the result of daily choices that prioritize health, animal welfare, and integrity. This blog digs into why that matters, how the system got here, and what we do differently.
