Good Morning and hello from your farmer,

Everybody loves a SALE!!!

After all, it is not often you have an opportunity to save some hard earned money on some of our popular items.

Recently, Ted purchased a half pig and text me to say the Patty Sausage was seasoned "just right". So, our first sale item is our Patty Sausage. I have created a new item for when you buy 15 pounds you save 15%.

Our second item is Pork Chops. Another favorite for many customers. Again, I have created a new item for when you buy 15 pounds you save 10% off the individual price.

Our third item is Ground Beef. Now, when you buy 50 pounds or more you will save 17% off the individual pack price.

Our last item is Beef Shoulder Roast. We decided to add this item after Ms. Shelley was gracious to share her (and hubby Rob's) favorite recipe featured below. So, this sale is a little extra encouragement to nudge you along to try her recipe. Who knows, it may become your favorite as well. The sale - when you buy a shoulder roast enjoy a 10% savings off the regular price.

Okay - there you go. Be sure to click on the "Buy Now" button below and look for our sale items.

Next is our NEW Products


There are many flavored sausages that are popular these days. So, we want to test a Pineapple Link Sausage. It is basically our regular smoke sausage with crushed pineapple added. Give it a try and let us know what you think.

Next are two new beef steaks, When we delivered the last steers for processing I included a request for Hanger Steak and Flank Steak. According to Wikipedia, A hanger steak, also known as butcher's steak, is a cut of beef steak prized for its flavor. This cut is taken from the plate, which is the upper belly of the animal. In the past it was sometimes known as "butcher's steak", because butchers would often keep it for themselves rather than offer it for sale.

Flank steak is a cut of beef taken from the abdominal muscles or lower chest of the steer. French butchers refer to it as bavette, which means "bib". Similarly, it is known in Brazil as fraldinha.

A Customer Inspired Recipe


Thank You Ms. Shelley for sharing your recipe!

1 3 lb Nature's Gourmet Shoulder Roast, cut into 1 inch cubes (save the bone for making broth!)
1 lb potatoes (I use the Baby Gold, scrubbed but not peeled - our preference) cut into 1 inch chunks
4-5 large carrots (I scrub them good, but don't peel - our preference) cut into 1 inch chunks
1 large sweet onion cut into large chunks
3 ribs of celery scrubbed and cut into 1 inch chunks
1-2 cups homemade beef broth (depending on how much gravy you want)
1/4 cup flour, seasoned how you like it to dredge the meat
2 tbls oil to brown the meat

Place all cut veggies in the pressure cooker. Dredge the meat in the seasoned flour and brown well in hot oil. Place on top of veggies.
Pour in broth. Pressure cook on high pressure for 25-30 minutes - NO LONGER. Let the cooker depressurize naturally.
Thicken and season the gravy as desired - sometimes I put in a can of Cream of Mushroom if I am being lazy.
This meat melts in your mouth, and the veggies are all soft. We make a lot of gravy with ours.
I will usually throw the bone in and let it cook as it adds a lot of flavor, then I save it with my "bones for broth" in the freezer.

Shelley says, this is one of Rob's favorite "comfort food" meals! SOOOO GOOOD!

A little prep time plus less than 30 minutes cook time you will have a nutritious good old fashioned rib sticking and satisfying meal!

And, to be able to feed SIX adults for under $25 - or about $4 per person is a real bargain these days.

Farm Improvements

Farm Improvements – Fresh water is a necessity for raising healthy animals on pasture. Until recently, we used an ICB tote on a small tralier that we would refill from our well. During the summer the frequency greatly increases in order to keep the chickens hydrated. So, I called my buddy at Southern Pipe and ordered pipe, fittings, etc. and then rented a trencher for May 16th to install 2,700 feet of 1.25 inch PVC pipe. Along the line we added 15 Plasson Quick Coupler Valves that we will hook to as we move the animals through our pastures.

My Advise How To Jump Start Small Farms In Mississippi

“Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.” — Henry Kissinger The fight to change food from addictive to nutritive will most likely be harder than the fight regarding tobacco (smoking) in public places that started back in the 1980’s. Note that my comments are NOT a condemnation of anybody who may use tobacco in any way as this can be a sensitive topic. However, it is personal to me as my Dad smoked at least 45 of his 75 years and died of lung cancer.

Small Farm Republic

Pasture Talk With Our Cows– Tuesday morning I was out checking on our cows and took the opportunity to record a short 2-minute story about the time I saved the life of one of the “pet” cows Number 608. Click to watch here. Small Farm Republic- is a book written by John Klar. A former attorney who contracted Lyme disease, John now farms in Vermont. I spent much of last weekend reading his book. He is very pro-small farms and presented a lot of evidence to support his position. On page 77 he makes a comparison to the number of farms and farmers during the Great Depression versus today. During the Great Depression the American population was 100 million. According to USDA charts
