At Thunderfoot Farms, our orchards are growing year by year—part of our long-term vision for a thriving silvopasture system that nourishes both land and livestock. We grow our fruit the same way we grow everything else: naturally and respectfully, without synthetic chemicals or fertilizers. While you’ll find some of our fresh fruit at farmers markets and our farmstand, most of it is lovingly transformed into small-batch jams and jellies that capture the flavors of the season.
As our orchard grows, so does our commitment to sustainable, regenerative farming. Come taste the difference at the South Haven Farmers Market on Saturdays, the Portage Market on Sundays, or at our Farmside stand on M43 in Paw Paw—opening June 2025. You can also reach out through our Contact Us page—we’d love to hear from you.

From our Woolmill
Thunderfoot Farms carries on a proud tradition of fiber craftsmanship rooted in the legacy of Jehovah Jireh Woolmill, which was operated by Gabriel’s parents for over 30 years. Though our mill has scaled down since then, we still maintain a working woolmill on the farm where we produce fine wool goods—from raw fleece to finished pieces.

Though our mill has scaled down since then, we still maintain a working woolmill on the farm where we produce fine wool goods—from raw fleece to finished pieces. Our passion for fiber extends beyond our own pastures, too—we collaborate with skilled artisans in Ecuador to bring you beautiful, handwoven goods that celebrate timeless techniques and global connection.
Whether you're searching for soft rovings, natural yarns, or one-of-a-kind hand-knit and woven items, we invite you to explore what we offer.

The pantry at Thunderfoot Farms is where the harvest meets tradition. From our handcrafted jams and jellies—made with fruits and produce from our gardens and orchards—to our wood-fired syrups, every jar and bottle reflects the flavors of our land. We currently offer over 40 unique jam and jelly varieties, alongside small-batch Maple, Black Walnut, and Pine (Mugolio) syrups, all tapped on-farm and boiled over an open wood fire each spring for a truly authentic taste.
Our baked goods are just as thoughtfully made, featuring sourdough breads and sweet treats baked with organic flour and locally sourced beet sugar. Whether you're looking for something sweet, savory, or a little of both, you can find our all of our goods at our weekly farmers market booths in Portage and South Haven, our roadside stand on M43 in Paw Paw opening June 2025, or by reaching out through our website.
