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!!!!

Cows & Pigs

Brand New Services– About six weeks ago Dixie Electric Power installed a brand new electric line with poles down my road. They replaced the old copper lines with aluminum and the poles are much better quality and taller. I asked the district manager when was the old copper line installed and he said since electric service was available for us… so, maybe since the mid 1940’s? Then, this week our complete road was blacktopped!!! If you have visited our farm you know it was long overdue. For years it has been patched to the point where the patches had patches. Hahaha

Clean and Cold | Adorable Calves

New Calves On Our Farm– Sometime in April we call our vet and schedule a breeding soundness exam for our bulls. This is before we add our bulls to our cow herd May 1st each year. Our oldest bull, affectionately named “Ole Man” by the guys here, was born on our farm the Spring of 2016.

New Pullets | Calves | Job Opening

Pullets arrived March 1st– every 6 months we receive a fresh batch of pullets. This year we were not sure if our late February to early March batch would be available…even though we ordered them last September. However, mostly since we have done business with the same farmer since the Spring of 2017, he prioritized our order and delivered them March 1st. While the price was higher, I was braced for a much higher price. Our pullets are typically 17 weeks old when delivered. They will start laying at about 24 weeks. That means we should start seeing medium eggs by our May delivery dates. YEAH!
