The J‑Hugh Farms co‑op
A co-op member is somebody who buys into the farm. You are not ordering groceries — you are backing the herd and the flock for a year, and your family eats off it the whole time.
Shares are worked out one family at a time, so the number is a conversation, not a checkout button. John will go through it with you on the phone.
Talk to John about a share
Shares are limited and they are worked out one family at a time — John will call you back and go through it. Tell him a little about how your household eats.
One share, one year
This is what a full share holds. It does not arrive all at once — it is yours on the farm, and you pull from it as your family eats through the year.
- 50 whole chickens
- 2 whole turkeys
- 2 whole ducks
- 12 six-packs of quail
- 1 whole lamb
- 1 whole goat
- 1 hog
- 12 rabbits
How it works
- Pay in full up front
- One payment buys the share. That money goes into feed, fence and the next round of animals.
- Twelve months to draw it
- Your meat does not all land in your freezer on day one. Take it as you need it across the year.
- Guaranteed until it is gone
- Every member is guaranteed their meat until the share is drawn down. Nobody gets bumped.
- Mix and match
- Trade around inside your share. Fewer rabbits, more chicken — work it out with John.
Why people go in on a share
You know where it came from
One farm, one family, one set of pastures. You can name the place your supper was raised.
The freezer is already full
No running to town for meat. A year of protein sitting at home, bought at one time.
It keeps the farm going
Member money is what lets us raise the next flock. Dodge County keeps a working meat farm.
