Following Through

Farm Update –

Today was our FIRST chicken delivery day for this year! As a local direct marketing farm one of the perks is meeting and getting to know your customers - and most customers would say the same - they like knowing who raises their food and can ask questions. It is a trust relationship we take seriously!

The big topic of discussion today was "Why people don't follow through?" Many customers tell stories of folks they know who they have shared our product with and confess it is much better then industrial AG food in the stores AND say they want/should be buying from the farm but never follow through. I'm sure there is no clear or even single answer. 

Another topic is our new AG Commissioner. Unfortunately the meeting for this week has been postponed until the first week of June. The article I referenced a few weeks ago about Andy Gipson has now been posted online. You can read it here.

Well, it is time to follow through! Get your orders in for delivery next Wednesday. 

Customer Feedback- 

Ben and family are a delight to deal with. Great product, even felt like I got more than I paid for. Please ask the state of Mississippi to make it easier for him and people like him to provide us with good quality products. Ask you legislators to remove restrictions on small farmers so we can afford to buy local. H. Trussel

Quote Worth Re-Quoting –  “Food is not just fuel. Food is about family, food is about community, food is about identity. And we nourish all those things when we eat well."   Michael Pollan

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