Quote worth re-quoting: “I do not want to be sustainable, why would I want to sustain a degraded resource? I want to be regenerative! That is the only way to leave the farm better then I found it.” Gabe Brown – voted top 25 most influential farmers in 2016.

Reminder – this is the last weekend to place your order for our February Pickup. We have plenty of beef and pork available. We are also taking deposits for Custom Processed Pigs with delivery by mid-March. Chicken will be available beginning April 22nd.

Customer Comment: Last fall Jason and Lindsay purchased a Half Pig and have purchased the smaller beef bundles until recently they took delivery on our Half Beef Bundle. Here is their comment: “This is by far the best beef my wife, kids and I have ever eaten. We have tried all of the grassfed beef in the area and Ben’s beef is the best. I will continue to order beef from him because the price is great and the beef is very tender and one hell of a value. I hope other people continue to by beef from probably the best grassfed farmer in the state of Mississippi. My family and I have tried other beef companies but Nature’s Gourmet Farm tastes better than the rest. If you are looking for grassfed beef that tastes great and is also at a VERY good price look to Nature’s Gourmet Farm. YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!”

Jason & Lindsay have discovered our Price + Convenience + Quality = a superb value for your family food dollar.

Calving season is if full swing here on the farm. Seventeen have been born so far with fourteen in the past week. Only 56 more to go!

Greetings Ben and Beth, I'm really looking forward to my next order pick up. I'm trying to improve my cholesterol numbers, thus eating more chicken, and ran out of your chicken products. I ended up buying some industrially produced chicken, and man was that a mistake! It smelled terrible raw, also while it was being sauteed, and also later when I reheated it to put into an otherwise healthy salad. I have enough of this subpar stuff to last until I pick my order, but I don't think I can ever buy this CAFO stuff again.

Beef Update & A New Product

Beef Update & A New Product

Beef Update – Typically this time of year folks are hesitant to buy bulk beef for their freezer due to hurricane risk. That is why we have delayed our next custom half & whole beef processing until September. If you are interested, our next harvest will be September 2nd with pickup on September 22nd. If you want to be included then please email me your name, email, and cell number to be added to our wait list - and be the first folks contacted and guaranteed to receive an order. Beef prices continue to increase and hit a new All-Time high this week fueled by strong demand and limited supply. For example, based on what a 700 pound steer sold for at the Hattiesburg Stockyard Monday, I could make more than feeding him till he weighs 1100 pounds and sell as packaged beef - but our mission is to provide nutrient-dense, clean food to our customers. Effective immediately custom beef half and whole prices will increase $0.50 to $6.25 per pound based on the hanging weight. Retail cuts will increase for September deliveries as well.

Real Health Is NOT A Pill. It's A Practice!

Two Great Must Read Articles – Typically I don't make a big deal about articles we have read, but these two are so good that I felt they needed to be shared. The first is by Joel Salatin titled "Food Think" that is part of his The Lunatic Farmer blog. You can read the full article at this link. The second article is one Beth forwarded to me from the Health Viewpoints section of Epoch Times titled "Americans Spend Trillions on Health Care but Remain Unwell - Here's Why" Dr. Yang, FAPA, a board certified psychiatrist, begins by stating the difference between treating disease and building true health lies in a proactive and preventative lifestyle. Note - Beth and I would agree with other folks who commented that his article is spot on and very important for folks to read and understand. You can read at this link.
