Good Morning and hello from the farm,

Today is delivery day for our Mobile, Ocean Springs, and Gulfport customers! So, I am out on the road this morning meeting customers with their orders.

Beth has joined me today as well. One of the objectives we have is to make a short video of how we pack orders, make deliveries, and etc. to show new customers what to expect.

Yep- complete transparency when you shop with our farm for beef, pork, chicken, and eggs.

Today is also a very special day for Beth & me because March 7th thirty-nine (39) years ago we were married. Boy, how time has flown by!

As I write this I'm reflecting back on all the events in our life. The birth of our two boys, Their 1st day of school, HS graduation, college graduation, and military service.

I'm remembering our many friends in the twelve or so places we lived between Mississippi, Alabama, and North Carolina. As well as the seven or so different companies I've worked for.

Never would I have dreamed that one day I would be a farmer! With the privilege of stewarding the land and animals and transferring them into nutritious proteins for families.

There is a lot of truth in the old saying, "A Farmer's Work Is Never Done"! And, that work is often accomplished when it's raining (or sleet/snow/etc.), cold, windy, flooding and or drought periods. As well as special days, holiday's and so forth.

So, this afternoon, after our last customer in Gulfport has been cared for - Beth and I will enjoy a nice supper in one of the Gulf Coast better seafood restaurants and remember how blessed our lives have been.

Thanks for sharing a few minutes of our special day with us.

Free RAW Milk | Election Impact on Food Health

Free RAW Milk- Last week I started a conversation around RAW milk and showed test results where raw milk is very similar to a human mother’s milk and contrasted it to current pasteurized milk that has none of the active ingredients found in human milk. I then asked folks two questions: 1. Is raw milk something you would be interested in for your family? 2. Would you like to receive communications about what we are doing and how you can help effect change?

Faithful Customers | FREE Raw Milk

Contents: 1. Faithful Customers 2. Free The Milk 3. Product Availability Update Faithful Customers- September we completed eight years selling our product via our website and making deliveries. From 2010 till 2016 we only sold whole or half beef & pork and chicken. Thursday a customer placed their order. The order number was 20,000 (that is twenty thousand). WOW! Now, that does not mean we have actually filled 20,000 orders because when someone deletes, cancels or leaves an open cart the number is not reused. But, those are exceptions as most of those 20,000 orders are filled. Additionally, this weekend will be our largest volume delivery ever
