A "NEW Look At The Farm

Today, I want to take a few minutes to show you our NEW look to the front entrance to our plant.

We've been saving our dollars and had enough to add the front awning/porch. Fortunately we ordered the metal back in April before the prices went crazy high.

Our vision is to eventually have a look resembling an ole timey country store. The front of the building will one day be either painted or have a wood veneer added.

Now, we have a place out of the weather to park our delivery trailer that includes a nice concrete pad where we can easily roll the dolly full of orders out for loading (out of the weather - which we have had a lot of lately).

You will also notice on the left side of the building sits our backup generator. It is now hooked up and ready to go in case of power interruptions.

We will also save up and add more Vulcan rock for folks to park and not get their feet muddy when visiting.

One step at a time.

For customers that have been with us since we first started the broilers may remember our initial humble "make do" processing set up. Here's a picture-

And, it rained 3 inches the morning we processed our first batch. That was tough, but we keep going and improving a step at a time.

Now, we operate in a USDA Inspected Plant that is also air conditioned. We are truly blessed!!!

As always, we thank you for rewarding our hard work with your trust and support.

Exciting News From Our Farm

Before I share our exciting news let me update you on beef! You may remember that we communicated our intent to combine April & May custom half orders and process them late March. That way we could increase the amount of inventory we are able to sell through our website. This week our team spent three long days cutting and packing eight beef that was added to our store late Friday afternoon. That represents two beef extra than typical to satisfy the demand we have for our beef. Now, for the exciting news. For some time I have been wanting to add to as well as upgrade our beef herd.

Animal impact On OUR Pastures

The documentary Sacred Cow is known for the phrase "It's NOT the Cow, It's The How!" The meaning is simple. The cow is not responsible for any environmental effects on our land, water, or air. However, the way MAN insists on managing the cow IS RESPONSIBLE. The cow left to her nature and instinct would never confine themselves into a feedlot situration where they would be standing in their waste. Nor would the cow, when left to their nature and instinct, confine themselves to a single pasture on continuous graze. The cow's nature and instinct would be to eat, graze, and move - very similar to the buffalo

Government IS RESPONSIBLE For That

January 2024 LtGov Hoseman wrote an opinion piece that was published in newspapers across the state. The jist of his opinion was Mississippi's labor market is at a critical inflection point where only 53% of our population is working and the balance is not. While I fully agree Mississippi has a critical labor market issue - I also know GOVERNMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT!!! Full disclosure - I tried three times to discuss this point with Hoseman, but he never returned my call. I will be sending him
