Good Morning and hello from your farmer,

A few weeks ago I mentioned we were preparing more Smoked Hams from our latest harvest of Pastured Pigs.

Well, we completed the cure & smoke process and have them packaged and added to our website.

Everyone has their favorite cut of chicken. For some it is the wings (always sell out first), others it is the breast (also sells out fast). At the end of the line is the leg quarter.

However, many people (including Beth & me) prefer the leg quarters. If that includes you then you'll be glad to know about our new Leg Quarter Bundle.

And the best part is the savings! Our bundle includes 7-packs that weigh approximately 15 pounds. The regular price per pack has been reduced from $6.50/lb to $6.00/lb. With the bundle we are including an additional 10% off making the bundle price $5.40/lb.

We know inflation is affecting our customers and are happy we could offer this savings. If you want to get in on this Leg Quarter Bundle savings simply CLICK HERE. It's that easy.

Every so often a customer will ask about drugs and or chemicals used in our farm operations.

Recently we were notified by our USDA inspectors that during our upcoming harvest that they would collect several pounds of meat & tissue from six randomly selected chickens. The meat & tissue would be tested under the U.S. National Residue Program (NRP) for Meat, Poultry, and Egg Products.

Background: An essential aspect of food safety in meat, poultry, and egg products is the control of residues that may result from the use of animal drugs and pesticides, or from incidents involving environmental contaminants.

Tuesday, February 1st I received the results back from the lab. Of the 17 test performed there was no residue detected in any of the samples.

Trust and Transparency are key principles we operate our farm on. It's one thing to be able to say to customers that we do not use drugs & chemicals - being able to provide evidence from a third party does a lot to add credibility.

Are you a "regular" customer of our farm?

Taste Test

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 – 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.
