This is a very cool family – owned organic farm. The owners will happily give you a tour and show you how they raise their pigs, chickens, goats, and other livestock. They also specialize in herbal teas and such, we tried the sausage, which was fantastic!

If I could give Jireh Family Farms 10 stars 🌟? I ABSOLUTELY would.🥰
I took their Backyard Chicken Course 101 in March and I learned so much in a short amount of time. It was extremely informative, easy to understand, and they were so patient with answering questions.
The course includes a full tour of their coop and they are very forthcoming with sharing information about how to best raise and care for your chickens. They have a beautiful flock and the eggs (HIGHLY recommend) are some of the best farm fresh eggs I've ever had.
I also purchased spicy sausage and its EXCELLENT. I like spice so it isn't spicy spicy to me personally but delicious nonetheless. 😋 I've used it for breakfast, breakfast sandwiches and in spaghetti, it's fantastic and very fresh tasting.
A few weeks after the course I purchased my own chicks! I've had them for a few weeks now and had to call for advice on a few occasions. Emmanuel was so kind and helpful (I was freaking out a bit worrying about my girls😖) with the advice on my coop and their health! My girls (JennieMae, ShirlAnn, Penelope Rose and Periwinkle Marie ) are all doing really great thanks to their class and their advice!! It's been really gratifying raising my girls and watching them grow and I can't wait to go back for their next crop of classes!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10 stars!!! 🥰💪🏾😍

Love this Farm Stand! I pulled in to type something for work in my car, the employee, Brittany, so politely came out to see if I was a customer picking up or if I needed anything and told about all the wonderful things they offered! I was busy but told her I would come back, I stopped back by to be helped by the MOST pleasant person, again Brittany, I have have ever interacted with. Pork Sausage, a cool water bottle and fresh farm eggs! My wife works close by and we will be returning. Thank you to Brittany for your upbeat and polite attitude! \
