The Farm Club is an integral part of Meridian Jacobs Farm. Farm Club members support our farm by purchasing memberships, helping with seasonal tasks and at farm events, and with their commitment to our farm and sheep. Members have hands-on learning opportunities at the farm throughout the year and get a behind-the-scenes look at the day-to-day operation of the farm and fiber shop by receiving Farm Journal e-mails. Sometimes these are brief but other times they are in depth about topics that range from lambing issues to weed control to spinning the best yarn for a blanket. Lambing Journals are e-mailed daily through lambing season. Even people who do not live close to the farm have joined and are a welcome part of our on-line community.

"I just want to say a huge thank you for figuring out a way to share the fun of being a shepherd with those of us who will never have a flock of sheep. Yesterday was SERIOUSLY FUN! I am still smiling about what a good time I had." K.H.

Farm Club Gourmet Members get one half a lamb for the freezer in addition to items listed below.
Lambs are killed here and butchered at Gates Ranch just north of Vacaville. You get the 1/2 lamb as your farm product and I’ll cover the cost of the harvest. You will pay for the butcher (cut, wrap and freeze) costs. That’s about $45 for 1/2 lamb. If you want a whole lamb you can pay for the other half and the butcher fee. In 2020 that was $65 for the whole lamb. Harvest for Gourmet Members is usually in August or September, but memberships are based on the Fleece Year (February through January). Renewal time is February. More information about purchasing the lambs for butcher is here.
All members get:
*10% off classes during the membership year
*Free attendance at Sheep Handling and Management class held in the spring
*Logo item (cap, apron, bag, t-shirt, calendar, or mug)
