Hey it's Ben from Nature's Gourmet Farm –

As we come to the close of 2017 we often reflect on our accomplishments as well as the things we are most thankful for.

I'm very thankful for Beth and her love, support (and work) on the farm. For almost 37 years she has been by my side - never complaining about relocating for my job, the many times I was travelling with work and or military, and now with her care for the hens and egg business.

I'm grateful to my parents for instilling within me a strong work ethic. 

And, I'm thankful for my sons who have helped build the farm infastructure - and for those who have mentored me the past 5 years in regenerative soil health and the importance of healthy meat & eggs.

We are blessed for the opportunity to live our purpose and passions each day!

And I'm grateful for all of YOU who support our farm's mission with your food dollars.

Customer Feedback- 

Love this stuff! Great meat, great customer service. I plan to buy from here for a long time to come! DeAnne R.

Quote Worth Re-Quoting –  "“In other words, carbs can be seen as a far dirtier fuel than fats. When you adopt a high-fat, low-carb diet and make the switch to burning fat and ketones for fuel instead of glucose, your mitochondria’s exposure to oxidative damage drops by as much as 30 to 40 percent compared to when your primary source of fuel is sugar, as is typical in American diets today. This means that when you are “fat adapted”—that is, when you have made the transition to burning fat for fuel—your mitochondrial DNA, cell membranes, and protein can remain stronger, healthier, and more resilient. In order” ― Joseph MercolaFat for Fuel: A Revolutionary Diet to Combat Cancer, Boost Brain Power, and Increase Your Energy

As always, thank you for supporting our regenerative, local farm.

Ben & Beth

MS Ag Commissioner Visits NGF

Commissioner Andy Gipson Visits NGF - Monday, Commissioner Gipson (Andy) visited our farm for the third time. First, was after he was appointed and Senator Hill and I were working to increase the poultry exemption for Mississippi. The second time was after we built the USDA poultry processing plant that Andy supported our LWT Grant which helped fund about 50% of the cost. This visit was to support Andy’s efforts to both support existing farmers as well as encourage more people to farm and help feed our citizens.

Farm Improvements

Farm Improvements – Fresh water is a necessity for raising healthy animals on pasture. Until recently, we used an ICB tote on a small tralier that we would refill from our well. During the summer the frequency greatly increases in order to keep the chickens hydrated. So, I called my buddy at Southern Pipe and ordered pipe, fittings, etc. and then rented a trencher for May 16th to install 2,700 feet of 1.25 inch PVC pipe. Along the line we added 15 Plasson Quick Coupler Valves that we will hook to as we move the animals through our pastures.
