Over the last five years, Jireh Family Farm has steadily grown, experiencing year-over-year growth and expanded farm-to-table products for the Raleigh-Durham community. The homestead is home to 250+ animals during peak season including over 100 egg-laying chickens, one of the highest in Durham County. Jireh Family Farm offers pork, chicken, and beef cuts, such as spicy breakfast sausage, pork baby back ribs, split chicken breasts, and rib-eye steaks directly to the public.

The homesteaders have a passion for welcoming those interested in purchasing all-natural meats and creating an environment that inspires others towards self-sustainability.
