Jake's Country Meats

Always looking for a good local farm to support and came across this one on the way back from Michigan (I'm from Chicagoland). Cute little farm with a unique purchasing system. Nobody was there to socialize (I like to talk with people about their farm) and everything is paid through honor system. They do take credit cards and it was fast and easy! Will update review once our steaks are thawed and grilled! Not much beef on the day we went, which tells me these steaks won't disappoint! Loved the metal artwork displayed (photo added)

Absolutely fantastic!!! I have been to my fair share of local farms and butcher shops. As a Carnivore I have eaten beef every day for almost 2 year. Jake's County Meats is the best I have personally come across! The steaks were flavorful and tender. The ground beef was also the best burger that I have ever made, grilled or smoked... The price is reasonable for quality you are getting. Thank you for sharing with us what you take so much pride in.

Fantastic Local Meats, Produce, and More Jake’s Country Meats is a gem — incredible locally raised Berkshire pork and beef, plus sweet corn and other products. Their selection is huge, and they even carry flash-frozen, wild-caught Great Lakes fish. Everything is top quality, and the prices are very reasonable for what you’re getting. Well worth the stop if you’re anywhere nearby.

Great spot, the meat shed is self service. You can see the animals roaming free. Great selection, can’t wait to cook it.

I love this place! I get there meat at the farmers market in Avondale, amazing quality and really friendly staff!

I had a meat connection before we moved back home by our parents. I was so afraid that I woukd have a bad experience like my last time buying the biggest I have ever which was 1/2 but after trying samples through the Meat Store different meats I am sold that Jake's will be where I purchase our big sale next time. Thank you for wonderful eggs that are so yellow and golden tgey taste like a delicacy. Then to have the pork chops tgat were burnt badly but yet tasted so incredible! I can't wait for the next time when I grill them! It is great to know that high quality meats are only 30 mins away! Thank you again!

Roasted a whole chicken from Jake's last night, and my family and I agreed we can never go back to grocery store chicken! The breast meat was the most tender and flavorful we've ever had. Thank you to the farmers!

The best park products you have ever eaten. Love the Canadian bacon and bacon. Great cuts of meat and smoked flavor is perfect

Jake's Country Meats is the vendor for fresh pork at the Farmers Markets in Chicagoland. I could never tolerate pork before Jake's Country Meat products. The farm uses sustainable land management techniques. The pork is hormone free, fed a natural diet of grains and corn and no antibiotics. In Chicagoland, Jake's is a vendor at the Yorktown, Downers Grove and Mokena farmers markets. They are nice people.

I was at the farmers market in Illinois. First I emailed them night before the market later in evening (not expecting a reply till next day) , but to my surprise they replied shortly after I sent messaging asking if they will have the pork chops at the market I was going to. Fast forward to the next day off to the market I went. I got a two pack of pork chops! I made them in the air fryer with a homemade garlic herb butter, and some brown sugar! Came out absolutely delicious!! Will def be getting more meats from these guys! Extra drool worthy.

We love the pork shoulder and bacon we got from Jake's. The meat is tender and fresh, we bought a 3lbs shoulder roast and use it for different dishes throughout the week. We stir fried, steamed, braised, it all comes out great. Pricewise it's not too bad, pork shoulder run around $4 per lb in whole foods, they charged for $5 per lb, so it's similar.

"Best pork I've ever had so far! They also have various of lake fish for sale, highly recommended.Go and visit their farm as well and you will have a lot of fun!"

I bought bacon in Elmhurst from Jakes Country Meats for the first time. It was amazing!!!!! I can't wait to try more items.
