OUR MISSION
At Jacobs Farms we value sustainability. Year after year we strive to increase our sustainability and mitigate our environmental impact, which is why since 2020 we have begun conversion of our fields from conventional to organic farming.
To us organic farming is far more than just growing grain without chemicals. It must be sustainable on many fronts, including preservation of a clean watershed, minimized dependence on toxic, nonrenewable fertilizers and herbicides, and prosperity of wildlife; we are even setting permanent wildlife habitats apart from normal farmland by making 5 acre deep tree surrounded bodies of water.
No-till farming is our preferred method. Tilling damages top soil and integral mycelium networks below the surface. We do however need to till fields that are in transition from conventional to organic in order to support the land through the transition, which is essentially a withdrawal from an unhealthy fossil fuel addiction.
Our long-term plan includes returning our organic fields to no-till as soon as possible, as well as incorporating our own bio-mass and silage into organic biofuel for our operations. We hope to reach a wider market with a growing variety of organic grains and pulses. Importantly, we want to showcase the potential in large-scale organic farming, hoping that the practice continues to grow and develop.

WHAT WE OFFER
Bread and flour spoil without preservatives but wheat will not, as raw wheat has no "best before" date and can be stored for much longer periods of time, up to 5 years if stored properly. Keeping and milling raw organic wheat at home gives people the opportunity to have a better product at a much lower price. From homemade bread and fresh, handmade pasta to your favorite sweet treats, our organic whole wheat will save you money while you savor the scents of all your very own baking at home. Plus, you can feel better knowing it's better for you and for the environment.
*Please note: product availability and delivery times are dependent on harvest and transportation channels, and can take up to six months to ship.
