Our email last week about Food Security was among the largest percentage open rate and generated one of our best "Orders Placed" to date. And, best of all only three (3) folks decided to unsubscribe (I expected the number to be much higher).

August is typically a slow month for sales as families focus on back to school. However, this year sales are very good. When you read the Product Updates below you will see that we are well stocked for the fall. So glad to have our new freezer!!!

NEW ITEMS: we have just added a couple of new items to our website that you might be interested in.

The first is called a Skirt Steak. You will love this cut for fajitas or stir fry, with good marbling and thin meat this 100% Grassfed skirt steak wants fast and high heat cooking. Try your favorite marinade or rub in some salt and pepper, then cut the strips across the grain of the meat for the best mouth feel.

We also added Country Style Pork Ribs. You know that Nature's Gourmet Farm is going to give you the most flavorful cuts of meat because of our pasture-raised, well-treated pigs. But we don't stop there. We're ready to give you the very best Country Style pork ribs you can get your hands on. These are just about the meatiest cuts of pork from the hog's shoulder that you can get anywhere. Whether you're having a family cook-out or throwing these in the oven or smoker, this is a delectable addition to your plate.

SALE Items:
1) Beef Ribs - Sold Out

2) Pork Shoulder Roast/Boston Butt
- marked down $1.25 from $7.25/lb. to $6.00/lb. Save 17%

3) 3# Whole Chicken - price rollback to $3.90 lb.
We are getting a bit heavy on 3-4# whole chicken inventory and have decided to offer a rollback sale to $3.90 per lb. This will give our customers an extra incentive to maybe test one of the "bragging" recipes submitted by Nature's Gourmet Farm customers. I know many folks are looking for the larger 5+ lb. chickens, but we are cutting most of them into breast, leg quarters, and wings to sell - and still have a hard time keeping up.

Here is the link to the recipes:

And, if you are looking for a video tutorial for cutting up a whole chicken then check out Daniel Salatin as he demonstrates to a group at their PolyFace Farm in VA.

NEW HENS: Our new hens have been on the farm for 2-weeks and are starting to settle in. At first they were very shy and scared of their own shadow! Now, they come out to greet us and don't mind being around us as we take care of them. Here is a recent picture Beth took-

As always, we thank you for rewarding our hard work with your trust and support.

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?"
