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.

Exciting News From Our Farm

Before I share our exciting news let me update you on beef! You may remember that we communicated our intent to combine April & May custom half orders and process them late March. That way we could increase the amount of inventory we are able to sell through our website. This week our team spent three long days cutting and packing eight beef that was added to our store late Friday afternoon. That represents two beef extra than typical to satisfy the demand we have for our beef. Now, for the exciting news. For some time I have been wanting to add to as well as upgrade our beef herd.

Animal impact On OUR Pastures

The documentary Sacred Cow is known for the phrase "It's NOT the Cow, It's The How!" The meaning is simple. The cow is not responsible for any environmental effects on our land, water, or air. However, the way MAN insists on managing the cow IS RESPONSIBLE. The cow left to her nature and instinct would never confine themselves into a feedlot situration where they would be standing in their waste. Nor would the cow, when left to their nature and instinct, confine themselves to a single pasture on continuous graze. The cow's nature and instinct would be to eat, graze, and move - very similar to the buffalo

Government IS RESPONSIBLE For That

January 2024 LtGov Hoseman wrote an opinion piece that was published in newspapers across the state. The jist of his opinion was Mississippi's labor market is at a critical inflection point where only 53% of our population is working and the balance is not. While I fully agree Mississippi has a critical labor market issue - I also know GOVERNMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT!!! Full disclosure - I tried three times to discuss this point with Hoseman, but he never returned my call. I will be sending him
