Product Update –

1) Chicken- We processed our third batch of chickens Friday. Individual pieces are back in stock June 22nd for orders. Next process date is July 19th.

2)Beef - Individual cuts - we are back in stock on all beef items and will be adding more June 29th and July 10th

Custom Half Beef - I have added more for processing the week of July 8th. If you are interested in a half beef please follow this link to learn more and place your deposit to reserve your order https://naturesgourmetfarm.com/custom-bulk-orders

3) Pork- We are back in stock on pork (except bacon & chops). If you are looking for a half or whole pig I have added inventory for Custom Pork to our store. Process date will be July 21st - just in time for stocking up for fall.

4) Eggs- Egg production has slowed down - mostly from the older hens. We've coordinated to receive younger hens (hopefully by mid July) so we can get them acclimated during the summer sales slump and be laying strong when demand picks up in the fall.

Some time back I introduced you to Carey Gillam and her book titled Whitewash. For those who may not know, she is a veteran reporter who has been covering corporate America for 25 years. A former senior correspondent for Reuters' international news service, and current research director for consumer group U.S. Right to Know, her areas of expertise include biotech crop technology, agrichemicals and pesticide product development, and the environmental impacts of American food production. She has been recognized as one of the top journalists in the country covering these issues.

This year she has been busy covering the Monsanto trials, suing agencies under the Freedom of Information Act, and discovering an amazing array of corruption that is fueling the more than 11,000 lawsuits against Monsanto.

Carey will be the Keynote Speaker at this years Acres U.S.A. Conference. Click here to listen to a recent podcast where she discusses her work and what she has uncovered about the chemical agriculture industry (presented by Acres U.S.A.)

At Nature's Gourmet Farm, we thank you for supporting (integrity) regenerative food sources to create a food system that is better for the animals welfare, better for regenerating the land and better for a healthy community. That is the only way to make a positive impact.

Customer Feedback- "Natures gourmet eggs and ground beef are so delicious! Ben was very friendly and helpful when I met him for the first time at pickup location. I love the convenience of ordering online, love the values this farm’s owners stand for, and the price for Grassfed local beef and pasture raised eggs can’t be beat!!! E Jackson

Quote Worth Re-Quoting – Referring to Gillam's book White Wash - "Reads like a mystery novel as Gillam skillfully uncovers Monsanto's secretive strategies." —Erin Brockovich

Thank you for supporting our regenerative, local farm.

"Pasture Raised" Defined

The USDA has officially updated the definition of “pasture-raised” to require that animals spend the majority of their lives on rooted, vegetative pasture, distinguishing it from “free-range,” which only mandates outdoor access. This update became effective March 2025. Here at Nature’s Gourmet Farm that is how we raise our animals – whether it be cows, pigs, meat chickens, egg layers, or turkeys. Pasture raised is our management choice and reflects our stewardship ethos. Frankly, pasture raised is how God created them to be versus. in a Confined Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO). CAFOs represent man’s inhumane wisdom!!!

NGF Customer Speaks Out

NGF Customer Speaks Out - First, a little background. Stephen & his wife Mary Katherine have been customers of our farm for 5 years. They, along with their 3 boys, have visited our farm. We have shared many conversations about farming and how Mississippi is truly a "food desert" (on a grand scale when only 2% of the food grown in MS is actually raised in MS). I know their passion for eating healthy and supporting small farms. They know my passion to increase small farms that serve their communities nutritious food. One day at our Madison pickup Stephen and I were talking and he asked, "What can I do to help grow the number of small farms?"

MS Ag Commissioner Visits NGF

Commissioner Andy Gipson Visits NGF - Monday, Commissioner Gipson (Andy) visited our farm for the third time. First, was after he was appointed and Senator Hill and I were working to increase the poultry exemption for Mississippi. The second time was after we built the USDA poultry processing plant that Andy supported our LWT Grant which helped fund about 50% of the cost. This visit was to support Andy’s efforts to both support existing farmers as well as encourage more people to farm and help feed our citizens.
