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?

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.
