Quote worth re-quoting: “I do not want to be sustainable, why would I want to sustain a degraded resource? I want to be regenerative! That is the only way to leave the farm better then I found it.” Gabe Brown – voted top 25 most influential farmers in 2016.

Reminder – this is the last weekend to place your order for our February Pickup. We have plenty of beef and pork available. We are also taking deposits for Custom Processed Pigs with delivery by mid-March. Chicken will be available beginning April 22nd.

Customer Comment: Last fall Jason and Lindsay purchased a Half Pig and have purchased the smaller beef bundles until recently they took delivery on our Half Beef Bundle. Here is their comment: “This is by far the best beef my wife, kids and I have ever eaten. We have tried all of the grassfed beef in the area and Ben’s beef is the best. I will continue to order beef from him because the price is great and the beef is very tender and one hell of a value. I hope other people continue to by beef from probably the best grassfed farmer in the state of Mississippi. My family and I have tried other beef companies but Nature’s Gourmet Farm tastes better than the rest. If you are looking for grassfed beef that tastes great and is also at a VERY good price look to Nature’s Gourmet Farm. YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!”

Jason & Lindsay have discovered our Price + Convenience + Quality = a superb value for your family food dollar.

Calving season is if full swing here on the farm. Seventeen have been born so far with fourteen in the past week. Only 56 more to go!

Half/Whole Beef Orders | Part 2 w/ Dr. Casey Means

Half/Whole Beef Orders: Beef sales this year have been outstanding. Especially our half/whole custom beef orders. Frankly, we have had to outsource the processing to Homestead because at this time we don’t have the capacity to handle the increased volume. This has also let us increase the quantity of cuts that we sell through our website. We are planning ONE more harvest of seven beef (14 halves) for 2024. The harvest date will be November 5th. That will give the processor time to complete your order where you can pickup before your Thanksgiving holiday. If you are interested then you need to email me ASAP as we already have folks on the wait list. Here is a link to helpful Ordering Tips.

Farm Updates | Hurricane Francine

Hurricane Francine: After much hype, Hurricane Francine turned out to be mostly a non-event here at the farm. In fact, the storm I wrote about last week was much worse than Francine. We mostly had limbs to pick up and clear from fences. We were very thankful for the 3.5 inches of rain as well as the number of folks who checked in on us. FARM UPDATES: 1. Our new pullets we have ordered are on schedule for delivery on September 14th. They typically need 6 weeks before they start laying. So, supply should improve soon. 2. Last week 71% of the people receiving our Newsletter clicked to open.
