About Jireh Family Farm
Jireh Family Farm, run by Immanuel and Valarie Tina Jarvis, is located at 1310 N. Mineral Springs Rd., Durham, NC 27703 (919-627-1690, [email protected]), open Friday and Saturday 10am to dark and Sunday 1pm to dark. The farm sells pasture-raised, hand-raised chicken, grass-fed and hormone-free Black Angus beef, USDA-processed natural pasture-raised pork, and multi-colored seasonal pasture-raised eggs, along with herbal teas and farm merchandise, including official Jireh Family Farm Crown apparel sold through Bonfire. The farm offers a 2025 Farm Membership, a 2026 Egg Share Program with locked-in pricing, doorstep CSA delivery subscriptions, farm tours and visits, event space rental, a Summer Kids Day Camp, and other classes and events. The farm states it is not certified organic but applies best practices to produce clean, ethically sourced proteins and produce. It holds USDA approval, Minority Business Enterprise certification, and is affiliated with the Durham Chamber, the Tuck School of Business Diverse Business Growth Certification program, the NC Agritourism Network, the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association, the NC Farm School (2021 graduate), the Black Farmer Equity/NMSDC Cohort (2022), Got To Be NC, the Redwood Ruritan Club (2023 member), and a local farmers market association.
Jireh Family Farm grew one animal at a time, and it started with eggs. As an early teen, Makayla bought a small flock of chickens and built an egg business with the goal of buying her first car — she earned enough to do it within three years, and the family folded that small investment into what the farm sells today as seasonal multi-coloured eggs. In 2017 the family expanded by raising two piglets, which reached over 400 pounds in seven months; they had them processed through a USDA facility, kept some and sold the rest, and were pleased enough to keep offering farm-raised pork. In 2020 the farm bought a Black Angus steer and partnered with other families to share hormone-free beef, and the quality was good enough that they did it again, which is how premium beef cuts joined the list. The move into poultry came from a decision rather than an opportunity: after learning about the current poultry industry, the Jarvis family wanted something different on their own table, and now sell the same pasture-raised chicken they eat themselves. The farm is candid that it is not certified organic — it states that it applies the best practices it can to produce clean, ethically sourced proteins and produce for its family and yours.
