Hey it's Ben from Nature's Gourmet Farm –

As we come to the close of 2017 we often reflect on our accomplishments as well as the things we are most thankful for.

I'm very thankful for Beth and her love, support (and work) on the farm. For almost 37 years she has been by my side - never complaining about relocating for my job, the many times I was travelling with work and or military, and now with her care for the hens and egg business.

I'm grateful to my parents for instilling within me a strong work ethic. 

And, I'm thankful for my sons who have helped build the farm infastructure - and for those who have mentored me the past 5 years in regenerative soil health and the importance of healthy meat & eggs.

We are blessed for the opportunity to live our purpose and passions each day!

And I'm grateful for all of YOU who support our farm's mission with your food dollars.

Customer Feedback- 

Love this stuff! Great meat, great customer service. I plan to buy from here for a long time to come! DeAnne R.

Quote Worth Re-Quoting –  "“In other words, carbs can be seen as a far dirtier fuel than fats. When you adopt a high-fat, low-carb diet and make the switch to burning fat and ketones for fuel instead of glucose, your mitochondria’s exposure to oxidative damage drops by as much as 30 to 40 percent compared to when your primary source of fuel is sugar, as is typical in American diets today. This means that when you are “fat adapted”—that is, when you have made the transition to burning fat for fuel—your mitochondrial DNA, cell membranes, and protein can remain stronger, healthier, and more resilient. In order” ― Joseph MercolaFat for Fuel: A Revolutionary Diet to Combat Cancer, Boost Brain Power, and Increase Your Energy

As always, thank you for supporting our regenerative, local farm.

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.

Pricing | Farm Matters

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.
