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)

Farm & Craft Sausage Series

We’ve been working on something new that brings our farm together with a few local makers we trust. It started as a small idea that grew through conversations and shared values, and now it’s ready. We’re calling it the Farm & Craft Sausage Series, a seasonal collaboration that pairs our pasture-raised pork with the craft of our partners.
