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!!!!

Eggs & More

This week the American Pastured Poultry Producers Association (APPPA) shared the USDA weekly disease update for Feb 4-10, 2025, a 4-day activity of exterminated chickens that is unnerving. During this timeframe 4.1 million chickens were exterminated. Most were egg layers and Ohio was the hardest hit. Here is the link that APPPA shared that tracks the outbreaks from the beginning - February 8th, 2022.

Compelling Purpose

Compelling Purpose – "What gets you out of bed in the morning?" The answer is your purpose, and if you don't have a compelling reason or purpose, you're likely to burn out and or fail. A brief testimony- folks who knew me in high school or even while on active duty Air Force in Plattsburg, NY would not have thought I would have ever amounted to much in life. Additionally, I was one of those who had to really study to make decent grades - even in college. (I was always jealous of folks like the dietian student in Statistics class who never studied, but made straight "A's"). Thus, I found myself in the help labs often. What I did have was persistence and perserverence! Spend the time, do the work to understand and succeed.

Farm Matters – First ACV - I left out a very important point regarding Apple Cider Vinegar. ACV is loaded with beneficial enzymes that helps the cattle better digest their forage and also provides needed energy. The same can be said for raw cows milk. Remember the chart I shared a few email ago that showed all the beneficial enzymes in cows milk vs.
