About Us
Working to feed our family and yours
Jones Family Farm is a family owned and operated dairy farm located on the upper eastern shore of Maryland dedicated to producing quality milk in an environmentally conscious way to support three generations of the Jones family. The family's roots in the dairy industry began in Burlington County, New Jersey in 1932 with the purchase of 18 bred heifers by Lester C. Jones Sr. and his father Carlton. Through hard work and a progressive mindset the farming operation expanded, and by 1970 included 200 milking cows along with tomatoes and sweet corn. Lester Jr. (Bucky) was now an integral part of the operation with a real focus on the cattle side of the operation. By 1995 the dairy operation had doubled and now included Bucky's three sons. Urban pressure and the need to expand the operation to support more family led to the relocation of the dairy to the present location. Since relocating the families and the dairy operation we have continued to grow with another generation becoming involved. We currently are milking 1500 cows and farm 2500 acres of crop land to support those animals. With expansion of our land base since the relocation we have been able to rotate some fields with vegetable crops to help diversify. We have also recently included direct market Wagyu cross beef to the operation. Our family may have grown and our operation along with it, but our objective is still the same - to provide for our family and employees through the production and sale of high quality milk, meat and vegetables. We have been able to accomplish this by caring for our cattle and our land so that they will provide for us.
