Tell them Blupela Media sent you to enjoy their quality and reputation
Are you tired of serving those factory-produced turkeys and chickens that are high in price but low in flavor? Isn’t it time you treated yourself to delicious farm-raised poultry?
The fowl at David Jones Farm are all natural, free roaming, and fed with the highest quality grains.
“ My grandfather used to say that once in your life you need a doctor, a lawyer, a policeman and a preacher, but every day, three times a day, you need a farmer.”
— Brenda Schoepp
David Jones brings a lifetime of experience to his farm.
On a fall day in September we first met farmer, David Jones. He rode in a tractor filled with heaps of wet sweet corn. Hundreds of white and yellow ears had been hand-picked fresh that morning. This corn grew on the same farm that David’s grandfather, Clarence, and his father Carl, had worked since the 1940s: The Jones Farm.
The Jones Farm is located on a winding country road about an hour outside of the City of Pittsburgh. It is a treasured piece of land, cared for with the love and admiration of a man who has worked on the farm since a young age. While opening the gate to show me a his new baby chicks, Mr. Jones joyfully explained,
“I wanted to help my father, so when I was about five, I climbed upon my first tractor.” Mr. Jones grew up on the farm along with his mother, Katherine, sisters, Margie and Becky, and brother Bill. Today, Margie’s son,Richard, raises beef cattle on the farm, while Mr.Jones continues to grow sweet corn and raise turkeys and chickens. When asked about his favorite part of the job, Mr. Jones eagerly expressed, “I love helping to feed America!”
Feeding America is not an easy job, however, farm and ranch families comprise just 2% of the U.S. population. Unfortunately, since 2013, America’s farmers and ranchers have weathered a 45% drop in net farm income, the largest three-year drop since the start of the Great Depression. The farm sector’s debt-to-income ratio is the highest it’s been in three decades.
Given these statistics, it is easy to see why Mr. Jones had tears in his eyes as he discussed his fear of the unknown when it comes to the future of his farm. He talked freely about the blood and sweat that has poured into the farm for decades, and the risk of failure that looms overhead every day. He finds strength to continue the career he loves through his faith and relationship with Christ.
Instead of living in fear, Mr. Jones understands that his mission is to find happiness and believe in a bountiful future. This is why, every day, Mr. Jones awakes at 4:00 a.m., and does not rest until 10:00 p.m. As he scooped up a turkey and posed for a photograph, his kindness resonated in his smile. I caught a glimpse of his calloused hands as he set the turkey down gently, and dusted off his jeans. He then explained with a sobering expression, “I need to sell all of these turkeys this year, or I might not be in business next year.”
“Our heritage is from Germany and Scotland. Mom’s family from Germany , Dad’s family from Scotland. Our family farm was started in 1920 approximately. I am the third generation from both sides. Back then in the early 1900’s everybody farmed to feed their own family, each generation taught the next and brother taught sister. Past generations played a big part in skill developement. The original farm had pigs, chickens, ducks and cows. Now we only raise organic cows, organic chickens and organic turkeys.”
-David Jones
“I ASSISTED MY FATHER AND GRANDFATHERS ON THEIR FARMS BEFORE I STARTED MY OWN. I GOT MY FARMING ETHICS FROM MY FATHER AND GRANDFATHERS , WHO I WATCHED INTENTLY, AND LEARNED A LOT.”
-DAVID JONES
“My earliest and fondest memories on the farm was being taught by my father everything he knew and enjoying it. The most difficult challenges were growing up and having to work when others played. I grew out of that fast.”
“The challenges of enduring the weather was overcome by using my faith, that my parents instilled in me, through constant prayer to Jesus. My faith speaks for itself. No farmer can get through life as a successful farmer with out our Lord Jesus.”
“THEY DROVE IT INTO MY HEAD THAT SOMEONE IS GOING TO EAT EVERY BIRD OR COW WE SELL, SO RAISE IT THAT WAY. CUSTOMERS ONLY DESERVE THE BEST. MANY FARMERS TODAY ONLY CARE ABOUT THE MONEY END OF FARMING AND NOT ON THE QUALITY.”
-DAVID JONES
Every year, from April to June, Mr. Jones orders 5000 turkeys and 1000 chickens. The birds are lovingly raised as free range animals, which are fed field corn grown especially for the birds.
The Jones’ Farm sells directly to the consumer, and often collaborates with local companies to provide Thanksgiving dinner turkeys to their employees. Mr. Jones also works together with the Penn State University of Agriculture and local suppliers. To ensure food safety, the farm is inspected and approved by the Federal and Pennsylvania Departments of Agriculture. Every year, the turkeys are processed from October to the Thanksgiving holiday, creating a delicious supply of both frozen and fresh turkeys.
Mr. Jones enjoys working closely with the local community. You will often hear his neighbor’s friendly honk as they drive by. He hires local youth to help prepare the turkeys for Thanksgiving, and has seen many of them buy their first car after the holiday season. He is proud to be an important part of the local economy in that way.
Whether it be the handpicked sweet corn, or the carefully raised chickens and turkeys, there is a lot to love about the Jones Farm! If you are looking for high-quality free range turkeys and chickens, or succulent sweet corn, you can easily place an order online or by telephone. I personally recommend taking a gorgeous fall drive to Cabot, Pennsylvania. Meet Mr. Jones, and see this marvelous farm for yourself.

The original farm grew hay, corn, and sweet corn as well as all garden vegetables to feed themselves, this generation grows hay, oats, field corn, soybeans, and the best sweet corn in the country.
My hours are long most of the year. We get a slight break in February. We work around the clock if needed and sleep and work odd shifts. We do hire some friends to help with the seasonal work.

-DAVID JONES
According to studies conducted by Penn State University, fresh, preservative-free turkeys and chickens have a 3-day shelf life when refrigerated at 30 degrees. For most customers, a 3-day time period is far too short of a window to purchase, pick up, and cook their birds, especially since the poultry is kept at our facility for one day to be processed and prepped for consumption, which effectively cuts that 3-day shelf life to 2 days off the bat.
Our Frosty Fresh poultry are stored at 25-26 degrees and have a shelf life of one week. Frosty Fresh birds are easily defrosted in the refrigerator, though they must be maintained at no warmer than 35 degrees. These birds can be kept at 35 degrees for one day prior to cooking.
Frozen poultry that is stored in a freezer at 0 degrees have a 6 to 9 month shelf life. Our thawing instructions for our Frozen birds can be attained at pick up.
