3) Pork- Individual cuts - we added individual cuts to our store and are fully stocked. Since last Sunday we have more than 36 orders for pork. If you are looking for a half or whole pig - our next processing date will be late September.

4) Eggs- Egg production has slowed down - mostly from the older hens. Our new hens arrived August 16th and oh my, the older girls were not happy. You would not believe the fuss and drama from them.... fortunately after a week they are starting to settle in. The new hens should start laying very soon.

FARM UPDATE:
Hey, this is Ben. HEALTH: The #1 reason folks choose Nature’s Gourmet Farm products. 

Research confirms more and more consumers are choosing “Real Farm Food” vs. processed food stuff to improve their health. They know something is wrong when chronic disease has increased from 4% of U.S. citizens in 1964 to more than 50% of U.S. children today.

We hear you loud and clear! That is our life’s work - to raise healthy, nutrient dense beef, pork, chicken, and eggs that are GMO FREE, Chemical FREE, and antibiotic & hormone FREE.

We believe that healthy soil grows healthy plants that feed healthy animals that nourish healthy families. At Nature’s Gourmet Farm we have 5-proven operating principles we practice for soil health to include- no-tillage to grow soil structure; keep the soil surface covered; forage diversity in our pastures; maintain living roots year round; and integration of livestock.

About 18 months ago I introduced you to Dr. Nasha Winters. You may remember she is a CEO, bestselling author, naturopath, and oncology specialist. Her journey with cutting out sugar and fueling her body through ketosis began after her own battle with stage 4 cancer three decades ago. As a result of her own experiences with alternative medicines and practices, she pursued education in naturopathic medicine and Chinese medicine to be better able to help others struggling as she had. Dr. Winters believes in treating the patient as a whole, both mind and body, and that approach is what she teaches to physicians today.

Dr. Nasha states, “Diet is an integral part of treating the whole body. How could it not be when it is the source of fuel that allows the body to function or misfunction? I believe strongly in providing the body with whole food sources, eliminating processed foods and oils, fasting, and striving for ketosis. However, whether the patient decides to enter a state of ketosis is up to them, be it via fasting, eating to the ketone meter, or through a strict ketogenic diet. But one thing is for sure: sugar and processed foods do not have a place in a healthy thriving body, let alone one battling cancer”.

This fall Dr. Winters will speak at the Acres USA Conference on the subject “Connecting the Dots Between Soil Health, Food Health, and Human Health. I'm looking forward to hearing what she has to say.

Amazon reviews of her book were very interesting – especially the one by Christine Clalabrese dated July 25, 2018. Check them out here

Beth & I thank you for supporting local (integrity) regenerative food sources to create a food system that nourishes healthy families, 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- "Wow! Grass fed beef at or below supermarket prices right in my back yard. Their beef is not only better tasting its light years better for you. These guys are the read deal, have been to the farm myself:. Paul D.

Quote Worth Re-Quoting – “People are fed by the food industry, which pays no attention to health, and are treated by the health industry, which pays no attention to food” ~Wendell Berry

Thank you for supporting our regenerative, local farm.

Beef Update & A New Product

Beef Update – Typically this time of year folks are hesitant to buy bulk beef for their freezer due to hurricane risk. That is why we have delayed our next custom half & whole beef processing until September. If you are interested, our next harvest will be September 2nd with pickup on September 22nd. If you want to be included then please email me your name, email, and cell number to be added to our wait list - and be the first folks contacted and guaranteed to receive an order. Beef prices continue to increase and hit a new All-Time high this week fueled by strong demand and limited supply. For example, based on what a 700 pound steer sold for at the Hattiesburg Stockyard Monday, I could make more than feeding him till he weighs 1100 pounds and sell as packaged beef - but our mission is to provide nutrient-dense, clean food to our customers. Effective immediately custom beef half and whole prices will increase $0.50 to $6.25 per pound based on the hanging weight. Retail cuts will increase for September deliveries as well.

Real Health Is NOT A Pill. It's A Practice!

Two Great Must Read Articles – Typically I don't make a big deal about articles we have read, but these two are so good that I felt they needed to be shared. The first is by Joel Salatin titled "Food Think" that is part of his The Lunatic Farmer blog. You can read the full article at this link. The second article is one Beth forwarded to me from the Health Viewpoints section of Epoch Times titled "Americans Spend Trillions on Health Care but Remain Unwell - Here's Why" Dr. Yang, FAPA, a board certified psychiatrist, begins by stating the difference between treating disease and building true health lies in a proactive and preventative lifestyle. Note - Beth and I would agree with other folks who commented that his article is spot on and very important for folks to read and understand. You can read at this link.

What's Your Favorite Sausage?

Sausages – so, we are looking to our customers for Sausage Inspiration! Since we added pigs to our farm in 2015 (wow- 10 years ago) we have sold basically the same five sausage flavors. The Patty & Regular Link sell pretty good, the Cajun & Cracked Black Pepper sell fair and the Jalapeno not so much. When you look around there are many various flavors available.
