History

Jelli's Market began in 2001 as a small strawberry farm. It was initially launched to contribute to the college funds for the owner's daughters. Over the years, the farm has grown significantly, expanding into a diverse marketplace that includes a variety of fruits and vegetables such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, asparagus, and sweet corn.

Offerings

The farm store offers a wide array of products including Angus beef, pork, lamb, chicken, maple syrup, and honey. Customers can choose from specific cuts or purchase whole, half, or quarter animals.

Practices

Jelli's Market is dedicated to sustainable agriculture, utilizing Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and ensuring their animals are raised without hormones or antibiotics. Visitors can enjoy U-pick berry seasons, and there are options for purchasing pre-picked produce.

Events and Activities

Jelli's hosts numerous family-friendly events throughout the year such as the Dirt Days Spring Kickoff and the Haunted Corn Maze. Field trips and group tours offer participants a firsthand experience of a working farm with visits to fruit fields, the apple orchard, and barnyard animals.

Visitor Experience

The farm welcomes guests with opportunities for fruit picking, and tours can be customized to suit specific interests. For those looking to host private events, Jelli's market offers a party room featuring a heated space with tables, chairs, and kitchen facilities available for a fee. Guests can also bring or arrange their own food.
