Yaeger’s Farm Market

The market's main line is preserves. Standard Amish jam and jellies are sold alongside no-sugar jams, which use no added sugar and suit anyone watching sugar intake. There is apple butter and a wider range of homemade fruit butters, which are fruit cooked down longer than jam into a thick, spreadable form without the set of a jelly. Pie fillings are also stocked, sold ready to pour into a crust rather than made from scratch. Together these cover most of what you would spread on toast or bake into a dessert, and they are the reason most people stop in.

Beyond the sweet preserves, Yaeger's makes homemade mayo and mustard. These are kitchen staples rather than specialty spreads, and buying them here means getting a made-on-site version instead of a jarred commercial brand. If you are already picking up jam, they are easy to add to the same trip.

Payment is cash or check. No card reader is noted, so plan to bring one or the other. Posted hours are not listed here, so it is worth calling ahead before driving out, particularly if you are coming from outside DeKalb.
