A Thanksgiving Treat

A Thanksgiving Treat! - Cotton Blues has been buying our eggs since we added the hens to our farm and using them in their baking enterprise. I really like lemon pie!!! Last year we bought one of their lemon pies to share at our Thanksgiving meal. This pie is "The Best" lemon pie ever. It was so good we got another one for Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed it. We appreciate how Chris and his team source from local farms to the extent possible - it often takes extra time and effort vs. simply calling Sysco.

Maybe you would like to buy one and share with your family this Thanksgiving Holiday. Simply click here.

New Products - Did you try our new sausage products yet? We delivered about half our stock on the Smoked Sausage and about 1/3 of the other two items. In case you missed the introduction here they are again:

1) SMOKED SAUSAGE made with beef. Ingredients are beef, salt, red pepper, sage, sugar, black pepper

2) SMOKED ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE made with beef. Ingredients are beef, salt, spices (ground mustard, red & black pepper), dehydrated onion & garlic, corn syrup solids, sugar, parsley

3) SMOKED CHORIZO SAUSAGE made with beef. Ingredients are beef, salt, spices (red pepper, paprika, cumin, ground mustard), dextrose, sugar, garlic powder, natural extracts, citric acid.

Give them a try and let us know what you think. They are IN STOCK now.

Small farms are not like Wal-Mart - we do not have a major network of endless suppliers and inventory or distribution network. Our product lines are not as extensive. My point is we will run out of stock from time to time and sometimes it can take a while to restock vs. waiting on the next delivery truck. For us, chicken is a 10-12 week process until we hit the 1000 State Exemption limit. Pigs take almost a year and Beef about 2-years. We do plan based on expected sales which means we are taking the risk to have product available without any commitment from customers - basically hoping someone will be there to buy our products when available. Our sales this year have been strong and we are very appreciative for each of our customers and ask for your patience when items are temporary out of stock

Customer Feedback-
"Just a note to let you know your beef is the best we ever experienced!”
- Larry & Geni

Quote Worth Re-Quoting – “As gardeners, farmers, and ranchers, we are producing nutrition, the very nutrition that defines human health. We have to take responsibility for our actions. We cannot "turn a blind eye." What effect do our actions have on our families? Our communities? Our ecosystems? Our relationship with God?" ~Gabe Brown

Thank you for supporting our regenerative, local farm. Beth and I wish each of you a Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving.

Health vs. Economics is THE Battle

Health vs. Economics is THE Battle - or maybe health vs. priorities of the general public when you consider that in 2024 the Apple App Store generated $1.3 trillion in sales!!! Vicki, a repeat customer from the MS Gulf Coast, sent me a short 3 minute video from a Joe Rogan Podcast with RFK Jr. discussing pig farms in North Carolina and how the CAFO pig operations got started. NOTE that the big companies own the pigs – the farmers only own the debt and do the work (and take all the risk). Please watch the video here.

"Pasture Raised" Defined

The USDA has officially updated the definition of “pasture-raised” to require that animals spend the majority of their lives on rooted, vegetative pasture, distinguishing it from “free-range,” which only mandates outdoor access. This update became effective March 2025. Here at Nature’s Gourmet Farm that is how we raise our animals – whether it be cows, pigs, meat chickens, egg layers, or turkeys. Pasture raised is our management choice and reflects our stewardship ethos. Frankly, pasture raised is how God created them to be versus. in a Confined Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO). CAFOs represent man’s inhumane wisdom!!!

NGF Customer Speaks Out

NGF Customer Speaks Out - First, a little background. Stephen & his wife Mary Katherine have been customers of our farm for 5 years. They, along with their 3 boys, have visited our farm. We have shared many conversations about farming and how Mississippi is truly a "food desert" (on a grand scale when only 2% of the food grown in MS is actually raised in MS). I know their passion for eating healthy and supporting small farms. They know my passion to increase small farms that serve their communities nutritious food. One day at our Madison pickup Stephen and I were talking and he asked, "What can I do to help grow the number of small farms?"
