real good food
Real good food is all we are about here at Jimmy Acres. We love food, we love flavor, we love farming as a connection to our community and ecosystems around us, and we love working with the soil.
We grow, raise and sell a diversity of fruits, vegetables and pasture raised poultry, pork, lamb and beef. Some weeks we even venture into the baking world, bringing you sourdough breads!
While our farm is entirely
herbicide-, pesticide- , GMO-, added hormone-, synthetic fertilizer-, and antibiotic-FREE,
we'd like to give credit to the intricate web of nature that allows our land to thrive. Each and every corner of our farm is covered in a metropolis of microbes that dictates the land's productivity. Our job as farmers is to support these critters with composts, minerals, livestock management and growing plant roots. From there, we just sit back and let nature do the work! If you'd like to know more about our farming practices, come chat with us at one of our farm stands, check out Our Mission page or send us an email!

Pigs raised in the forest
We raise our pigs in young, brushy forests of the farm, clearing out underneath trees, making room for a diversity of grasses to come in. We feed our pigs Non-GMO feed. No antibiotics or added hormones are ever used on our pigs.
Pork cuts available frozen at our farm stands or through our online order form.
Beef: Grass-Fed & Grass-Finished
We raise Red Devon cattle out on pasture on 100% grass. These cattle are born at Thistle Hill Farm in the Shenandoah mountains of Virginia. At around a year old, the cattle travel down to North Carolina where we graze them at a collection of properties from Chapel Hill up to Semora. For about 2 months in the winter, our cattle are fed hay, but other than this short period, these animals are eating whatever live grasses are in season at the time!
Beef cuts are available frozen at our farm stands or through our online order form.
