Our Story
We are Jason and Jessie Bland, the owners of Turk Farm Beef.
Turk Farm is a family farm that was established in 1987 by Jessie's parents, Doug and Sharon Turk. It has primarily been a cow-calf operation providing calves to the feeder cattle market; however, in recent years there has been a demand for local beef - thus the direct-to-consumer side of the business was established.
Jessie was born and raised on Turk Farm and graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in Animal Science and Oklahoma State University with a master's in Agricultural Communications. Jason grew up in Southeast Georgia and graduated from the University of Georgia's Warnell School of Forestry. Married since 2014, they have three children and stay busy raising kids and cows.
Both employed in the public service sector, Jason and Jessie have a heart for serving and advocating for others. Agriculture brought them together and remains a prominent focus in their life.
They are active members in their local church and strive to honor the Lord with what they have been blessed with - stewarding their family, the land and livestock with integrity.
