We only use whole muscle hand-trimmed cuts for our ham and sausage products and all of our spices are hand-mixed for consistent flavor.

Why is it called Jones “Dairy” Farm?
In 1832, the Jones family settled in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, where they made their living as dairy farmers. After being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, the head of the family, Milo, was no longer able to operate the farm. What he could do is make his mother’s recipe for breakfast sausage. So, in 1889, he began selling that sausage to friends both far and wide.
