SEE WHAT'S NEW THIS WEEK FROM YOUR FARMER
Monday morning I took this picture of a group of our pigs. It was mid morning when I found them and they were sound asleep. They slowly woke up and came up to “check me out”. ![]() When you buy from a local farmer you get to ask questions (frankly farmers should be telling folks without them asking) about how the animals are raised and what do they eat (because you eat what your food eats whether it be plants, meat, or eggs). Raw Milk Herdshare Buying Opportunity in Florence - I am so glad to be able to share this opportunity within our farm community. Jennifer is a fellow Air Force Veteran with the MS Air National Guard in Jackson. She started her farm after leaving the AF due to the vaccine mandate and has been a shining example of how to start, operate, and grow a Herdshare Program. Additionally, she is a strong advocate for raw milk and knows the benefits of raw milk vs. pasteurized milk for families. ![]() The 1st KEY to healthy raw milk is cows raised on pasture vs. a confined animal feeding operation (CAFO is what actually started the whole reason for pasterization in the first place). ![]() 2nd Key is a clean and sanitary milking operation. ![]() Lastly, a Spotless packaging area where the milk can be cooled down quickly! Jennifer says, “Our herd of mostly Jersey cows is located in Florence. This is our family’s fourth year successfully running a herdshare which provides rich, nutrient dense raw cows milk for our community and surrounding cities. Our raw milk has many medicinal properties, with multiple testimonies from current members, as well as boasts numerous components that pasteurized milk cannot provide. At Mountain Creek Ranch we feed non GMO, no corn, and no soy ever and practice regenerative agriculture by rotating our girls frequently to rested, replenished pasture. We do not use vaccines, hormones, or antibiotics and always defer to holistic practices as first choice.” To find out more email Jennifer at mtcreekranch@yahoo.com or call 769-798-0840 Now, imagine the difference in peoples health if that $1.3 trillion paid for apps was spent on healhy food from small local farms like Jennifer's where the money stays in the local economy vs. Wall Street or some foreign country! At Nature's Gourmet Farm, our intent is to create a community that evolves around one of the most intrinsically important things of the ages, and that’s the provision of sustenance. That's our passion - to raise healthy food to nourish families and strengthen immune systems. ** Product Availability Update **
