National Farmers Market Week

National Farmers Market Week is here.

We’ve been attending farmers markets now for 25 years! Decades of seasonal weekends spent traveling the early hours to meet and serve many different communities.

At one point I worked 7 different farmers markets throughout the week, and squeezed in two days at the farm to pack up wholesale orders and trucks. We committed early on to telling our story this way, with the goal to find enough good people looking for real good food, and put it all on repeat until we built a business to support our farm.  

Farmers markets not only shape our lifestyle, but they shape every decision made at the farm - from what we feed our animals, to how they graze, and how often we need to breed and harvest. The markets connect us directly to those we feed, and take our business beyond a transaction. 

We get to know you through meaningful conversations - some make us laugh, while others bring tears. If you’ve ever shopped with us at a market, just know that we keep you very close to our hearts. You enter our prayers through the good times and bad, and we keep recognizing God’s work through it all.

So to celebrate National Farmer’s Market Week - let’s go to a market!!  Our team is eager and ready to serve you.

With so much gratitude,

Renee -  7th generation farmer at Jake’s Country Meats
