Justin and Sara Jacobs Family Farm

We were married in 2016 and started our farm the same year. We started small with 45 acres but have grown in size almost every year since the start. Our operation has allowed us to grow several different crops, such as hard red spring wheat, durum wheat, rye, flax, soybean, yellow pea, canola, mustard, and maple pea. Our farm is built on making the land that we use better than when we started. Our attempt is to complete this goal through several practices that improve soil health, such as intercropping, no-till planting, diverse crop rotation, and cover crops. This site will be used to tell you our story, where we have come from and where we hope to go. You will find the stories that have shaped our farming career as well as our desire to improve our practices. We will use this site to show you how our operation runs. We aim to be educational in our approach to farming and our management decisions. 

Justin has been working on research with intercrops since 2018 and has a growing knowledge on the practice. Some of his talks can be found on this site. He will also be working on creating YouTube content that explores the process of intercropping from start to finish. Intercropping is one very small piece to the very large puzzle of regenerative agriculture. You will also find information on many of the other practices that the Jacobs' are implementing or plan to implement on their farm. 

Proverbs 3:9 says, "Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops. " We believe that as farmers we have been given the land   as good stewards and our job is to take care of the land to the best of our abilities. Because as, Psalm 24:1 states, "The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it. " We believe that by implementing holistic practices in land management we are truly taking care of God's creation. This is one of our primary missions as we continue to grow our farming practices.
