Turkeys On The Farm

posted on

October 13, 2024

Some of our best family moments on the farm are spent caring for the turkeys. We chase and gather any birds that perched and wandered overnight, and chat with them to amuse ourselves with the flock’s response to whatever noise we come up with that day. These beautiful birds are spreading natural fertilizer on the soil, contributing to a vibrant farm ecosystem, and providing nourishment for all of us in the late Fall.

We will split the cost of our average sized turkey with you, find a family in need, and donate it before the Holiday.  Join us if you are able and help make this Thanksgiving a truly special one! https://jakescountrymeats.com/store/product/donate-a-turkey-3

A Year to Review

To recap a whole year into one short blog feels like a lot of pressure. I am bound to miss some of the best moments of the year, while ignoring some of the hard challenges tackled. At the same time, life on the farm can feel incredibly similar one day to the next when living outside of the moments. But I do understand my worst attempt will be better than nothing, so here it goes.

Busiest Week Ever

The holiday season is here, and this week might just be our busiest yet! From the warehouse to the office to the pastures, every part of the farm is buzzing with activity. Each task plays a role in what we love most: connecting you to the best food we can produce for your holiday celebrations.
