So, did you watch any of the videos from last weeks newsletter? All were equally good from their perspective. The Magic Pill especially hit home for me because it clearly described the #1 cause of peoples health issues - processed food - and provided a simple solution. Demonstrated results were shown what can happen when processed foods are replaced with grass fed meats and healthy vegetables & fruit. Today, a customer told me it is hard to convince family & friends - maybe invite them over to watch The Magic Pill and serve some NGF beef, pork, or chicken.

This year the GrassFed Exchange will be back in South Dakota where it started 10 years ago. Kate's family has been ranching there for 3-generations. That is no small feat. This year I am looking forward to several presentations to include:
Jonathan Lundgren, Blue Dasher Farms
Christine Jones, Soil Health
Nina Teicholz, The Big Fat Surprise
Clay Nash & Allen Williams, Grassfed Carcass Quality Grading

Continuing Education is a strategic objective that helps us provide a quality product, regenerate our land and properly care for our animals as well as sustain our business for the next generation.

Have you made July 4th plans with family and friends? It's time to get your shopping done for some great tasting burgers, steaks, ribs, etc. from Nature's Gourmet Farm. June 27th is our next delivery - just in time for your July 4th celebration.

Customer Feedback-
"I did alot of research on where to buy grass fed/pasture raised and was overwhelmed by the whole process. I am glad I chose Ben and Nature's Gourmet Farm. Their website is easy to use/navigate and they deliver to multiple locations making pickup much easier for me. I've tried the chuck roast soo far and it is very tender!

I can never go back to buying typical grocery store meats. I feel great knowing that I am getting good quality meats with good nutrition for me and my family. I am also happy that Nature's Gourmet Farm is passionate about their work and believe in being a restorative farm. I am all for humanely raised animals and soils the way they are suppose to be!". ~Phi N

Quote Worth Re-Quoting – “The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.”. Wendell Berry

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

What If Pigs Could Talk

Well, at Nature's Gourmet Farm our pigs may not speak English, but their body language sure says a lot. Notice our pigs! See how content they are napping - they would say how nice the morning is and glad to enjoy the shade in our natural environment. The soft dirt is so relaxing. We have heard that some pigs live in cramped and confined spaces on hard concrete. Why would any farmer treat their pigs like that?

Farm Happenings!

Celebrity Visitor – Tuesday afternoon I had the opportunity to meet one of the nicest guys here on our farm. CJ called me about ten days earlier to ask if he could come and see our farm. Seems his family owns a farm near Bassfield, MS and they were needing to make some changes. As you know, I’m eager to help anyone who would like to farm as Mississippi certainly needs more folks raising food to feed our communities – and since he was interested in Regenerative Pasture Raised animals that was even better.

Clean Sheets

Family Bible– This is about a personal story I would like to share this Easter (Jesus’ Resurrection). My dad’s oldest sister is 102 years old and not as sharp as she once was even though she has the most content personality of anyone I’ve ever known in her limited condition. Recently her middle son, my 1st cousin, asked me if I would be interested in two Simmons Family Bibles – well of course, I replied. The oldest Bible goes back four generations and includes names, dates, etc. for birthdays, marriages, deaths. And the penmanship is amazing! The second Family Bible is two generations old and belonged to my dad’s parents.
