Farm Update –

Professional Development - this is a term used a lot during my military and business career but not so much when you think of farmers! However, I am on the Board for the Grassfed Exchange whose #1 focus is educating all stake holders from farmers to consumers in "regenerative pasture based clean eating".

I have just returned from our 9th annual conference in Albany, NY. Attendance was the highest to date and the program was outstanding. I mentioned to Phyllis with Dharma Lea Dairy (the primary supplier to Maple Hill Creamery) that her farm tour was worth the price of the conference. 

I also want to mention that the GFE through generous sponsors was able to provide travel and or conference fees for 38 new farmers from across America. I had the opportunity to meet these folks which was a blessing. I know of no other organization that is doing more to support the future of grass based agriculture than the Grass-Fed Exchange. I will share more in the weeks to come so stay tuned!

Customer Feedback- 

We've tried Nature's Gourmet Farm's beef, eggs, pork, and sausages, they are all very tasty. The meats are tender and easy to cook. It's good to eat food that's directly from a farm. You can't get anything fresher. Thank you very much, Ben and Beth!

Customer's Speak Out

Last week's newsletter really struck home to many customers based on very positive responses received.

Jennie writes, “Wow, Ben, your newsletter really struck a chord with me today. Back in 2019 I was going through some personal trials that were causing me extraordinary stress, anger and frustration. I took up gardening as therapy. You may remember my t-shirt that said "I garden so I don't choke people." LOL! I had no clue how to garden so I started with a few pots of various greens that fall. They didn't do well, but

What Would You Say To This Headline?

What would you say to the following headline? Kellogg's CEO Tells Cash-Strapped Consumers That Cereal For Dinner Is A 'Great' Option — Meanwhile, Pepsi's CEO Encourages Struggling Gen Zers To Make Meals Out Of Chips And Pretzels I liked the comment from one man who said,

WOW!!!

Last week I shared our team processing ground beef for our farm’s March sales. This was after two days spent cutting and packing steaks, roast, etc. from eight beef. Once all the beef was stacked into our freezer I made a short video that you can watch by clicking HERE This video represents 8-beef. 1.5 beef were custom orders and 6.5 beef (about 1.5 more than our typical amount harvested) were for our farm store sales.
