Trader Day Spotlight: Jimmie Ward & O’Jimbo Farm
If you’ve ever strolled through a Trader Day here at the Oktibbeha County Co-op, chances are you’ve already run into Jimmie Ward. For years now, Jimmie and the folks at O’Jimbo Farm have been pulling up to our events and instantly brightening up the place. He’s a true-blue crowd favorite, and Trader Day just wouldn’t feel right without him.
Jimmie is a vital piece of our local farming community—the kind of neighbor who keeps our area’s rich agricultural traditions alive and kicking.
What You’ll Find at O’Jimbo Farm
Jimmie raises just about every kind of critter you’d hope to find on a traditional southern homestead. If you’re looking to add to your backyard flock, stock the freezer, or find a new pet for the grandkids, Jimmie’s got you covered:
- Bunnies & Rabbits: From friendly, floppy-eared pets that the kids flock to, to quality meat rabbits.
- Chickens & Waterfowl: Noisy roosters, egg-layers, fresh farm eggs, and plenty of friendly ducks and geese.
- Pigs & Hogs: Good, healthy feeder pigs and market hogs raised the right way.
- Barnyard Favorites: A whole menagerie of small livestock and classic farm animals.
A Wealth of Country Wisdom
The absolute best part of visiting Jimmie’s pens isn’t just seeing the animals—it’s swapping stories with the man himself. Jimmie is a wealth of old-school country wisdom. On any given Saturday, you’ll find folks gathered around him, talking shop about traditional farming, animal care, or just enjoying a good laugh. He always brings a whole lot of fun to the Co-op, and he’s never too busy to share some friendly advice.
