Jacoby’s Restaurant & Mercantile

Adam Jacoby, owner and operator, and Kris Swift, creative director, opened Jacoby‘s Restaurant & Mercantile in August and the restaurant has quickly become an east Austin dining hot spot. The restaurant concept leads us to the Jacoby‘s ranch in Melvin, Texas. Adam’s parents started their then small farm in the town of Melvin in 1981. While the farm grew over the years the needs of the community also grew. Farmers in the area traveled 230 miles round trip to Abilene for their seed and feed. The Jacoby family realized the value of producing high quality seed and feed for both their farm and the community. What started as meal service for their employees evolved into Jacoby‘s Cafe serving as both an eatery and a meeting place for the community.

The Jacoby family now has an over 40,000 sq. ft of manufacturing space including 12 silos, a Seed and Feed, Jacoby‘s Cafe, a mechanic shop, a rail center and has over 50 employees. Adam who is also a fourth generation farmer shared that his grandfather believes being an entrepreneur is in their blood. Adam added that to be a farmer is to be an entrepreneur. Adam’s experience on his family’s ranch and at the cafe have given him the first hand knowledge, practical experience and a solid work ethic that shows clearly at Jacoby‘s Restaurant & Mercantile.
