About
Lake Joy Farmstead
Our dream of owning a farm became reality in Spring 2020. We are Mike and Dominica plus six kids, plenty of animals, and we are constantly tackling new projects—raising livestock, building structures, and cooking the good life.
In the Summer of 2023, we launched Black Clover Country Coffee Roaster out of our farm, sourcing top-quality beans and roasting them to perfection. Inspired by 2nd wave coffee, our bold, dark roasts are perfect for espresso, cold brew, and fueling your next adventure.
Our livestock program consists of our grass-fed beef program, pastured pork, and pastured poultry that includes both chickens and turkeys. Consider our Clover Club program for deep discounts on our meat program and other farm products.
We are also an Alumi-Coop dealer, the very best Amish-built chicken tractors in the USA.
Head over to our farm store to find out more about all of our goodies from right here on Lake Joy Farmstead.
We think you will like it here. We sure do!
Mike and Dominica

What people are saying
-
The pork from Lake Joy Farmstead is hands down the most flavorful and tender we have ever tasted and we love that it is raised with care right here locally. Their grass-fed beef is equally impressive, offering rich, juicy cuts that elevate every meal.

The Lake Joy family delivers the most desirable - and elusive - when it comes to sourcing the healthiest possible foods for our family in these times. Flavor and trust. We love being a part of their farm to table family!

I was never a coffee drinker until I tried Black Clover Coffee. After trying it once I now enjoy it daily and very much look forward to my morning brew.

I really appreciate knowing where my meat comes from and how it is being raised. Getting pork and beef from Lake Joy Farmstead means that I can witness healthy animals being raised well and enjoy the great flavor that is the outcome of that.

The pork is outrageously good! The ground pork and pork chops are some of the best we have EVER had. I can't believe how juicy and tender they are. You raise some delicious pigs!
