Our email last week about Food Security was among the largest percentage open rate and generated one of our best "Orders Placed" to date. And, best of all only three (3) folks decided to unsubscribe (I expected the number to be much higher).

August is typically a slow month for sales as families focus on back to school. However, this year sales are very good. When you read the Product Updates below you will see that we are well stocked for the fall. So glad to have our new freezer!!!

NEW ITEMS: we have just added a couple of new items to our website that you might be interested in.

The first is called a Skirt Steak. You will love this cut for fajitas or stir fry, with good marbling and thin meat this 100% Grassfed skirt steak wants fast and high heat cooking. Try your favorite marinade or rub in some salt and pepper, then cut the strips across the grain of the meat for the best mouth feel.

We also added Country Style Pork Ribs. You know that Nature's Gourmet Farm is going to give you the most flavorful cuts of meat because of our pasture-raised, well-treated pigs. But we don't stop there. We're ready to give you the very best Country Style pork ribs you can get your hands on. These are just about the meatiest cuts of pork from the hog's shoulder that you can get anywhere. Whether you're having a family cook-out or throwing these in the oven or smoker, this is a delectable addition to your plate.

SALE Items:
1) Beef Ribs - Sold Out

2) Pork Shoulder Roast/Boston Butt
- marked down $1.25 from $7.25/lb. to $6.00/lb. Save 17%

3) 3# Whole Chicken - price rollback to $3.90 lb.
We are getting a bit heavy on 3-4# whole chicken inventory and have decided to offer a rollback sale to $3.90 per lb. This will give our customers an extra incentive to maybe test one of the "bragging" recipes submitted by Nature's Gourmet Farm customers. I know many folks are looking for the larger 5+ lb. chickens, but we are cutting most of them into breast, leg quarters, and wings to sell - and still have a hard time keeping up.

Here is the link to the recipes:

And, if you are looking for a video tutorial for cutting up a whole chicken then check out Daniel Salatin as he demonstrates to a group at their PolyFace Farm in VA.

NEW HENS: Our new hens have been on the farm for 2-weeks and are starting to settle in. At first they were very shy and scared of their own shadow! Now, they come out to greet us and don't mind being around us as we take care of them. Here is a recent picture Beth took-

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

What If Pigs Could Talk

Well, at Nature's Gourmet Farm our pigs may not speak English, but their body language sure says a lot. Notice our pigs! See how content they are napping - they would say how nice the morning is and glad to enjoy the shade in our natural environment. The soft dirt is so relaxing. We have heard that some pigs live in cramped and confined spaces on hard concrete. Why would any farmer treat their pigs like that?

Farm Happenings!

Celebrity Visitor – Tuesday afternoon I had the opportunity to meet one of the nicest guys here on our farm. CJ called me about ten days earlier to ask if he could come and see our farm. Seems his family owns a farm near Bassfield, MS and they were needing to make some changes. As you know, I’m eager to help anyone who would like to farm as Mississippi certainly needs more folks raising food to feed our communities – and since he was interested in Regenerative Pasture Raised animals that was even better.

Clean Sheets

Family Bible– This is about a personal story I would like to share this Easter (Jesus’ Resurrection). My dad’s oldest sister is 102 years old and not as sharp as she once was even though she has the most content personality of anyone I’ve ever known in her limited condition. Recently her middle son, my 1st cousin, asked me if I would be interested in two Simmons Family Bibles – well of course, I replied. The oldest Bible goes back four generations and includes names, dates, etc. for birthdays, marriages, deaths. And the penmanship is amazing! The second Family Bible is two generations old and belonged to my dad’s parents.
