Good Morning and hello from your farmer,

A few weeks ago I mentioned we were preparing more Smoked Hams from our latest harvest of Pastured Pigs.

Well, we completed the cure & smoke process and have them packaged and added to our website.

Everyone has their favorite cut of chicken. For some it is the wings (always sell out first), others it is the breast (also sells out fast). At the end of the line is the leg quarter.

However, many people (including Beth & me) prefer the leg quarters. If that includes you then you'll be glad to know about our new Leg Quarter Bundle.

And the best part is the savings! Our bundle includes 7-packs that weigh approximately 15 pounds. The regular price per pack has been reduced from $6.50/lb to $6.00/lb. With the bundle we are including an additional 10% off making the bundle price $5.40/lb.

We know inflation is affecting our customers and are happy we could offer this savings. If you want to get in on this Leg Quarter Bundle savings simply CLICK HERE. It's that easy.

Every so often a customer will ask about drugs and or chemicals used in our farm operations.

Recently we were notified by our USDA inspectors that during our upcoming harvest that they would collect several pounds of meat & tissue from six randomly selected chickens. The meat & tissue would be tested under the U.S. National Residue Program (NRP) for Meat, Poultry, and Egg Products.

Background: An essential aspect of food safety in meat, poultry, and egg products is the control of residues that may result from the use of animal drugs and pesticides, or from incidents involving environmental contaminants.

Tuesday, February 1st I received the results back from the lab. Of the 17 test performed there was no residue detected in any of the samples.

Trust and Transparency are key principles we operate our farm on. It's one thing to be able to say to customers that we do not use drugs & chemicals - being able to provide evidence from a third party does a lot to add credibility.

Are you a "regular" customer of our farm?

If not, and you are looking for premium ALL NATURAL GOODNESS of beef, pork, chicken, and eggs raised on pasture as God intended - without growth hormones, drugs, chemicals, and antibiotics - and raised humanely then you have come to the right farm. Our delivery schedule and product availability is listed below along with order buttons that will take you to our website where you can browse over 90 product choices and place your order from the convenience of your home. It's that simple!

Beef Pricing Update & Sausage

Beef Pricing Update – Beef prices continue to increase and hit a new All-Time high AGAIN last week. This week, the Chief Production Officer (CPO) for JBS Meats (one of the four largest beef packers) stated that prices will remain high for at least the next two years. His rationale was the low cow herd numbers, little to no indication farmers/ranchers are retaining females to grow their herds (at these high prices they are taking the money now while it is there); when females are being retained it will take over 2.5 years before a calf will be ready for harvest (9-month gestation + about 24 months old at harvest). Lastly, consumer demand remains strong.

Taste Test

Greetings Ben and Beth, I'm really looking forward to my next order pick up. I'm trying to improve my cholesterol numbers, thus eating more chicken, and ran out of your chicken products. I ended up buying some industrially produced chicken, and man was that a mistake! It smelled terrible raw, also while it was being sauteed, and also later when I reheated it to put into an otherwise healthy salad. I have enough of this subpar stuff to last until I pick my order, but I don't think I can ever buy this CAFO stuff again.

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.
