Goats

Jameks Farm is home to about two dozen ADGA registered dairy goats of several different breeds, including Alpine, Nubian, Lamancha, Guernsey, and Recorded Grade. We sell their milk raw (non-pasteurized) April-December, and attend ADGA dairy goat shows May-September. To learn more about our award-winning herd, feel free to check out our other website specifically for the goats, using the link below :

Chickens
We love our flock of about 3 dozen hens and roosters, each one has a name! In addition to being automatic decoration for our farm (with their gorgeous plumage), the ladies also give us dozens of beautifully colored eggs year round! Thier eggs are available for sale as long as they keep getting laid, so contact us if you're interested! This year, instead of purchasing hatchery chicks, we're trying to breed our own. If you're interested in purchasing a rooster from one of these home-bred hatches, let us know!

Ducks

Ducks are amazing animals. We should know, we have almost 2 dozen of them! Our ducks keep us entertained - and well fed! Duck eggs are the best tasting eggs you'll find, and they're about double the size of a chicken egg! Contact us if you're interested in purchasing duck eggs (available year round). We're currently trying to breed our Ancona ducks for spring 2019 ducklings, so be on the lookout for updates about that!

Turkeys

The turkeys are our farm ambassadors, greeting everyone that visits the farm! They follow us around wherever we go, and will gobble back if you gobble at them! We have meat turkeys available seasonally (September-December), but our Royal Palms are a rare breed that we keep for breeding purposes only. These guys are free-ranged, and we look forward to hatching their eggs again in spring 2019, after having great success in 2018, hatching 4 baby turkeys, all of which have moved to loving pet homes! We currently have 3 turkeys: Jack, Lavender and Hermione!

Pigs

2019 will be our 3nd year with pigs, so we are still learning the ropes! In 2017 we raised 3 gorgeous Duroc pigs and auctioned them at the Lake County Fair, and last year we raised 6 Duroc X Berkshire pigs, and auctioned them at the Lake County Fair as well! This year we are planning on raising about 4 pigs again! Contact us if interested in a pasture-raised pig!
