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!

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.
