Last week I shared our team processing ground beef for our farm’s March sales.

This was after two days spent cutting and packing steaks, roast, etc. from eight beef. Once all the beef was stacked into our freezer I made a short video that you can watch by clicking HERE

This video represents 8-beef. 1.5 beef were custom orders and 6.5 beef (about 1.5 more than our typical amount harvested) were for our farm store sales.
Inventory was added to our farm store Friday, Feb 23rd at 6pm. It is important to note this is the time communicated in our weekly newsletters.

And, boy were customers ready to place their orders! We are still in shock how fast product sold. By Sunday morning, 90+ percent had been sold.

Top 10 products for March by total sales are:
Custom Beef
Beef Ground Bundle 25#
Chicken Breast – 2 per pack
Beef Ground Bundle 10#
Beef Ground Bundle 50#
Grade A Large Eggs
Beef ORGAN Burger
Chicken Whole 4 lb Average
Beef Chuck Roast
Beef Steak Rib-Eye Boneless

Hopefully, our customers were able to order what they needed.

Beth & I as well as our team of dedicated folks want to thank you for your business.

Our hens also wanted to have their picture taken. This shot was from Sunday just after moving them to fresh grass. I was amazed how they were piggin out on the grass. Oh, by the way, we added 500 additional pullets to our flock February 23rd.

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.
