Farm Update –
We thank you for your great comments from our video last week. We believe it is important to be transparent about what we do and honest in our dealings. Additionally, we try to always greet you with a warm smile, friendly greeting, and thank you for your business. We appreciate you choosing Nature's Gourmet Farm for your beef, pork, chicken, and eggs.

Upcoming events: August 6th I will speak to the Petal Rotary Club. August 21st I will testify before the MS Senate AG Committee in Jackson.

The picture above is Beth gathering eggs. This is done everyday - regardless the weather! She then grades them, cleans any that may be dirty, and packages into cartons. She works very hard to bring you great tasting and healthy eggs for your family - free of any chemical and medicated stuff.

It's time to get to work. Remember, the online store closes Monday at midnight for next Wednesday delivery so get your orders in today. Hope you have a blessed day.

Quote Worth Re-Quoting – “The shorter the chain between raw food and fork, the fresher it is and the more transparent the system is". Joel Salatin

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

Emotional Week = Short Newsletter

Difficult Week – About six weeks ago Beth’s mom Jackie found out her cancer had returned. Her condition worsened very fast and she passed away early Tuesday morning. Beth had been staying with her most of the last two weeks. Her funeral was Friday morning. Working with our team we were able to process chicken Tuesday & Wednesday mornings and post inventory. We also processed 8 pigs the afternoon of those two days and posted the fresh pork items. I want to express how much we appreciate our team who stepped up and did extra to support our farm and lessen the burden on Beth.

My Customer Response

Food deserts are regions where people have limited access to healthful and affordable food. This may be due to having a low income or having to travel farther to find healthful food options. Without access to healthful foods, people living in food deserts may be at higher risk of diet-related conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and micro-nutrient deficiencies.

That was more than a billion greater than farm commodity crops generated in sales that year.
