Jake's Country Meats

Best pork chops I've ever had, and that includes a farm-to-table restaurant in Iowa! And I cooked Jake's myself, at home.

Jake’s has consistently outstanding product! The pork chops are life-alteringly wonderful.

I order at least once a month from Jake's Country Meats I primarily get their bacon, sausage and smoked pork chops which are all excellent and I have had their fish and many of their other pork items all of which are delicious. They put a lot of thought into how they raise the pigs and other animals to ensure that they are taking proper care of the land and animals. Besides having high quality food they also have high quality service always working on new ways to better serve their customers. So while yes buying from Jake's is more expensive the meat is better for you and your children. The farmers are taking better care of the land and the animals(which helps insure the prosperity of our children) , and you are supporting the local economy not some giant company that doesn't care about anything but profit which also benefits our children.

Love Jake’s meat and that I can get great syrup and other ethically sourced local goods from such fine folk. We started buying from them early last year and are hooked. Its rare 😉 for us to buy any meat elsewhere these friendly folk.
Thanks guys, lets keep it affordable. Bless your table & family.

We've loved everything we've ever bought from Jake's! Their bacon, sausage and smoked pork chops are the best. We also love their smoked fish! They are a wonderful family that really gets to know its customers. We love stocking our freezer with locally produced meats from a smaller family farm.

We discovered Jake’s Country Meats at the LaGrange Farmers Market years ago, and we’ve been fans ever since. All their products are excellent—pork, chicken, fish, sausages, etc.—but my favorite is their bone-in pork chops. The flavor and juiciness can’t be beat. Plus the whole family is so friendly and helpful whenever we shop. I also enjoy the email newsletter with updates on what’s going on at the farm. Next up is a visit to the farm—maybe this summer.

I enjoy going to our local farmers market and while it's the fruits and veggies that get me there, I always stop at Jakes to stock up on pork chops, fish and a variety of bratwurst. The quality and flavor is the best and the team working the tent always seems glad to see you. It's like meeting an old friend who just happens to know everything about they sell. So find a farmers market where they are at and treat yourself to some of the healthiest and tasty protein around.

I have bought products from Jake's country meats for several years. It would be hard to pin down just one product that is my favorite, so I won't do that. I will say that I have almost never been disappointed in any product. The smoked meats have just the right balance of salt and smoke, fresh meats are just that -- fresh and tasty. You can even get recipes that give great ideas for using these products. Nate and LouAnn, and their family are wonderful people to know.

Jake's Country Meats consistently delivers high-quality grass-fed and pastured meat products that I can feel good about serving to my family. Their monthly meat drop has been a perfect way to continue to access their products while farmers markets are closed for winter. Online ordering is easy and accurate. Highly recommend supporting this local farm!

We love getting pork, fish and poultry from Jake's, plus it's fun to chat with Nate. We're so lucky to have the Farmers Market and winter drops in walking distance to us. We love the jalapeno brats, bacon, whitefish, chicken halves, hot dogs, deli ham, pork chops, smoked ham hocks and turkey. The $5 surprise product is fun and never a disappointment. We feel so good about the care they put into their animals and the resulting quality, besides directly supporting the farmer without the middle man.

We have been purchasing Jake's products for several years, and it is always consistent. Everything is bar none. Their spicy Italian sausage is king in my Italian kitchen. We've purchased sausage from the best mom & pop Italian delis around the city, and Jake's beats them all. The hickory bacon is so good. So is the chicken. Truly quality.

Love Jake's country store. The pork is so delicious. Everything we have tried has been so flavorful. Smoked chops, bacon, brats, sausage patties bulk are so tasty that once you taste it you will never go back to grocery store brands. And it's grown and processed right here in the area.

My 13 year old will not eat pork unless it is from Jake's. The difference in the flavor is that noticeable. We have recently tried the fish and we loved the quality and flavor. My favorite part is of course the people. When you are buying from people this nice who also have the highest quality food it feels like being transported to a different time and place where relationships and greatness are more important than convenience and cutting corners to make a quarter.

I found Jake's when I was searching for a good source for pasture raised chicken. We decided to buy a few whole chickens and pork chops to give a try. Let me tell you, the pork chops were absolutely life changing! :) Knowing that we are no longer supporting torturous factory farming conditions for the animals that feed my family is a pleasure in of itself, not to mention that everything just simply tastes much, much better!

Delicious pork! The bacon and pork chops are my favorites. Once you taste the difference in quality with humanely raised animals, there is no going back. I am sooo sorry for the awful way the animals are treated in the large industrial pork industry. We have to support our farmers who make it their mission to do it right, like Jake's.

The heirloom pork that is raised in pasture is better than any pork product you will find in stores, excellent flavor. The thick pork chips are perfect for the grill. Highland beef products are a cut above "regular" beef. I've ordered many times for the Meat Drop and the order has been correct every time.

Jake’s has never let us down! We enjoy ordering from you all and have never gotten anything we didn’t like. We love “The Meat Shed”. You always have a variety of things in there and it is easy to checkout!!!

I first encountered the Jake's team at the Logan Square Farmers Market. Have been buying bacon (3-4 different kinds), pork belly, pork ribs, and pork chops from them ever since! I'm lucky to have the Dill Pickle Co-op close by.

Also, if you have room in your freezer, buying a whole pig is the way to go.

I ordered a 10 lb smoked uncured ham to serve for Christmas this year. Jake's exceeded my expectations in terms of quality and taste - by far. It was really exceptional and a huge hit with my family. I highly recommend Jakes!

Just finished the most amazing Easter ham, my family loves everything about Jake's and especially the quality and healthiness of the meat we get. Keep up the great work!! Thank you for partnering with our farm.
