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.

Farm & Market Updates

Market Update – Our farm objective is to raise nutrient dense meats without all the chemicals, vaccines, hormones, and etc. And be able to provide them to a community of families at a reasonable price. We measure success based on pounds sold verses dollars earned. Current beef prices are making that harder to accomplish as families seek options to reduce their food bills. I know we have not passed along the full impact of higher prices to our customers which means we are not making as much as before nor are we selling as much beef.

Beef Pricing Update & Sausage

Beef Pricing Update – Beef prices continue to increase and hit a new All-Time high AGAIN last week. This week, the Chief Production Officer (CPO) for JBS Meats (one of the four largest beef packers) stated that prices will remain high for at least the next two years. His rationale was the low cow herd numbers, little to no indication farmers/ranchers are retaining females to grow their herds (at these high prices they are taking the money now while it is there); when females are being retained it will take over 2.5 years before a calf will be ready for harvest (9-month gestation + about 24 months old at harvest). Lastly, consumer demand remains strong.

Taste Test

Greetings Ben and Beth, I'm really looking forward to my next order pick up. I'm trying to improve my cholesterol numbers, thus eating more chicken, and ran out of your chicken products. I ended up buying some industrially produced chicken, and man was that a mistake! It smelled terrible raw, also while it was being sauteed, and also later when I reheated it to put into an otherwise healthy salad. I have enough of this subpar stuff to last until I pick my order, but I don't think I can ever buy this CAFO stuff again.
