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!

NGF Customer Speaks Out

NGF Customer Speaks Out - First, a little background. Stephen & his wife Mary Katherine have been customers of our farm for 5 years. They, along with their 3 boys, have visited our farm. We have shared many conversations about farming and how Mississippi is truly a "food desert" (on a grand scale when only 2% of the food grown in MS is actually raised in MS). I know their passion for eating healthy and supporting small farms. They know my passion to increase small farms that serve their communities nutritious food. One day at our Madison pickup Stephen and I were talking and he asked, "What can I do to help grow the number of small farms?"

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.
