Product Update – We delivered our first batch of broilers April 22. Next batch will be available May 20th - ONLY 2-weeks away. We have some available. Simply email how many you want is all that is needed.

Have you ordered your half beef yet? The first ones will go to the processor early June which will be here before you know it. Confirm your order with a deposit is all that is needed to reserve your premium grass-fed beef.

Farm Update –Things are really busy on the farm. Summer pastures are being planted with diverse pasture crops, cattle breeding season is under way, this week we visited each of the Corner Market stores that will sell our pork and eggs, and Beth is starting to gather plenty of eggs from our new hens.

You may remember that last February we visited the State Capital and spoke with many Senators and Representatives about supporting small farms. Currently, our Ag policies & programs suppress small family farms in favor of large corporate farms and Agri-business corporations. Senator Hudson committed to visit our farm, to listen, and come up with how he could help - not only our farm but other small farms as well. The meeting took place last Friday morning. Bottom line, I am encouraged and prayerfully seek your support. Together we can make a difference. BTW, The Farm To Consumer Legal Defense Fund has been instrumental in helping me understand what needs to be changed. 

When you serve Nature's Gourmet Farm grass fed beef, pastured pork, and chicken (and now EGGS) for dinner, you can rest assured that you're making a good choice for your family, Our animals are raised ethically, are GMO-Free, without the addition of hormones or antibiotics to their diet. And, most importantly, our products deliver the flavor that our grandparents remember. Whether beef, pork, or chicken, our meat is sure to be the centerpiece of your next family dinner.

Customer Comment - We love Bro and Mrs Simmons, they allow us to feed our family with good healthy food and we are blessed to call them friends. Good quality meat at a price that is within everyone's budget!!!!

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.
