FARM UPDATE:
Hello from Ben. What do you know about The Westin A. Price Foundation? Maybe you've not heard about WAPF - "The Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF) is your source for accurate information on nutrition and health, always aiming to provide the scientific validation of traditional foodways. People seeking health today often condemn certain food groups — such as grains, dairy foods, meat, salt, fat, sauces, sweets and nightshade vegetables — but the Wise Traditions Diet is inclusive, not exclusive".

We just renewed our membership after reading an excellent article by Sally Ann about a new campaign called Fifty-Fifty Pledge. It's about a challenge to WAPF membership to commit to spending 50% of their food dollar purchases directly from local farmers. Two of the benefits she includes are:
1) the only way we can save our pasture-based, pesticide-free farms is to make a conscious effort to purchase food directly from conscientious farmers (that you can trust)
2) the highest quality food today is produced on regenerative family farms.

Beth & I believe the best reason to commit to a Fifty-Fifty Plan is the physical and mental health benefits for you and your family!

Many of our customers are young mom's who are concerned about all the stuff found in industrial food, where it came from, and the risk to their family's health. Many of our older customers are striving to heal their health at least in part by switching their diet from processed foods to real farm food. The demand from both groups is growing.

We are here to support your families nutritional needs for true grass-fed and FINISHED beef, pastured pork, chicken, and eggs - all ethically raised without GMO's, antibiotics, and hormones. Products that our customers trust.

Meals that are sure to please start with Nature's Gourmet Farm beef, pork, chicken, and eggs!

Beth & I thank you for supporting local (integrity) regenerative food sources to create a food system that nourishes healthy families, that is better for the animals welfare, that is better for regenerating the land and that builds healthy communities. That is the only way to make a positive impact with your food dollars.

Lastly, please check out our new Homepage look & feel as we seek to better clarify our customer message and farm value offerings. As always, your comments are appreciated.

Customer Feedback –


"We've tried Nature's Gourmet Farm's beef, eggs, pork, and sausages, they are all very tasty. The meats are tender and easy to cook. It's good to eat food that's directly from a farm. You can't get anything fresher. Thank you very much, Ben and Beth! " ~Ann T.

MS Ag Commissioner Visits NGF

Commissioner Andy Gipson Visits NGF - Monday, Commissioner Gipson (Andy) visited our farm for the third time. First, was after he was appointed and Senator Hill and I were working to increase the poultry exemption for Mississippi. The second time was after we built the USDA poultry processing plant that Andy supported our LWT Grant which helped fund about 50% of the cost. This visit was to support Andy’s efforts to both support existing farmers as well as encourage more people to farm and help feed our citizens.

Farm Improvements

Farm Improvements – Fresh water is a necessity for raising healthy animals on pasture. Until recently, we used an ICB tote on a small tralier that we would refill from our well. During the summer the frequency greatly increases in order to keep the chickens hydrated. So, I called my buddy at Southern Pipe and ordered pipe, fittings, etc. and then rented a trencher for May 16th to install 2,700 feet of 1.25 inch PVC pipe. Along the line we added 15 Plasson Quick Coupler Valves that we will hook to as we move the animals through our pastures.
