We refer to our farm as a heritage farm because of the history of the farm and because we prefer to raise heritage livestock. Jacobs Heritage Farm was built in 1859 and has been in the Jacobs family for five generations. We are always mindful of the history of the generations before us who worked so hard to keep this farm in the family and we are always grateful that we have the farm today due to their past efforts.
