It's an exciting Saturday morning here on the farm as we kick off our 1st annual Pork Harvest Sale!

We have 4 options for you to consider, each with special pricing starting today and lasting through next Saturday, March 27th when the ordering period closes.

IF INTERESTED please make sure to read these TWO key steps before taking any action:

Step #1 - Identify your location's current estimated pickup date in the picture below

As was mentioned in my announcement last week, all items featured during this Pork Harvest Sale are available for pre-order only. We are expecting to start making pork pre-orders available to customers beginning in late-April through May.

Once you've selected the bundle you want to pre-order from our event offering page, you'll need to pick an "Availability Date" during the simple pre-order checkout process, as shown in the image below.

Please review the image below to identify the date you should select from the drop-down menu at checkout:

These dates correspond with our standard schedule you are likely accustomed to:

1st Sat of Month - Gulf Coast Route
2nd Sat of Month - Hattiesburg/Picayune Route
3rd Sat of Month - Jackson area Route
Weekly - Farm Pickup (but for these Pork Sale pre-orders, select April 24th)

Once you've made a mental note of the correct date for your pickup location route, please proceed to Step 2.

Tribute to Tess - our loyal farm dog

A Tribute to Tess- Thursday morning was a very sad time here on the farm. Without going into all the details, a tragic accident first thing Thursday morning involving our beloved Tess that caused her death a few minutes later. First thing in the morning she is typically at the back door waiting for one of us to come out so she can greet us. But, not this day. We are all very sad and heartbroken. Tess was such a joy and loving to all who knew her. It has been especially hard for our son Jared as he and Tess were best friends. Many of our customers who have been to our farm know she always greeted with a big smile and happy spirit.

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!!!
