August 21st I will testify before the MS Senate AG Committee in Jackson.
Our Passion begins with the soil as the source of nutrient dense and thus healthy food for animals and families. Healthy soils means there are certain things you do and DO NOT DO in order to regenerate the nutrient cycle and water cycle in the soil. Things we do not do are tillage, mono-culture forages, apply chemicals (certain weeds we bushhog and some like smut grass we dig up by hand). Our ecological footprint is healthy - clean water, clear air, no pollutants or chemical runoff into waterways!
We are passionate about proper care of the animals entrusted to us. We spend time with them to earn their trust which helps in handling. We do not beat them, chase them with 4-wheelers or dogs, etc. We know the best way to keep them healthy is to provide healthy pastures and rotate frequently to break any parasite cycles. Thus, we do not need drugs to prop them up. Manure & urine is spread across pastures (cows return up to 70% of the nutrients back to the soil) which supports soil health.
We are passionate about sharing dangers in the industrial food system with our customers and providing information & research supporting the value of eating "Real Farm Food". Currently, the processed food industry is controlling the message most Americans hear & see - thus, they are not aware of the dangers and health risk associated with processed foods. About 95% of what is sold in grocery stores and through restaurants are industrial processed foods. A BIG red flag!
We are passionate about "advocating" for your food freedom rights! We see this as key to improving the health of families who need access to nutrient dense food. Many parts of the USA - like MS - do not have adequate food choices. In MS it is mostly due to the grip food processors have on our legislative process as well as agriculture department. MS needs more farms like Nature's Gourmet Farm.
Lastly, we are passionate about sharing our methods and hard lessons learned with others who are interested in raising nutrient dense food for their communities. We have helped many who have visited and have several more scheduled to come.
Do you share our passions? Are you committed to the value of eating healthy Real Farm Food? Let me encourage you to think about supporting a local
farmer the next time you shop at your grocery store.

Customer Feedback-
"The quality of the meats is unsurpassed. The eggs are the best available. These products are not only better for you, they taste much better too!." ~David
Quote Worth Re-Quoting – “The old and honorable idea of 'vocation' is simply that we each are called, by God, or by our gifts, or by our preference, to a kind of good work for which we are particularly fitted." Wendell Berry
As always, thank you for supporting our regenerative, local farm.
