Beef Sale - Remember, last week I mentioned that beef recently hit an all-time high? Well, May is National Hamburger (Grilling) Month and here at Nature's Gourmet Farm we prefer to celebrate grilling hamburgers, steaks, and the like vs. high beef prices.

And to celebrate we are excited to offer the following sale prices:

Ground Beef $10.20 lb (less for bundles) Save 12%
Steaks NYS $16.50 Save 15% when you buy 10 or more
Steaks - Ribeyes, Sirloin, T-bones save 10%
Roast - all cuts save 10%

Note: if you have already placed your order prior to the sale you will need to edit (delete the item from your order) and add it back to get the sale price.

We are excited to offer our customers our sale prices and hope you enjoy celebrating National Hamburger (Grilling) Month. Yum Yum.

Big Week At The Farm - we have had several worthy-to-share moments at the farm this past week.

The first involves the new equipment ordered for the plant to package our ground products into chub packs and also will link our pork sausages. Well, the Stuffer arrived on time for use to set up and package our ground beef. However, the Clipper did not. So, we chose to use the Stuffer to portion and fill our regular vacuum bags. Once a few kinks were overcome it worked great and the packs were portioned by weight very close to the same.

The day after packaging our ground beef the Clipper arrived! Go figure - right! 😀 So, we took it out of the shipping crate (it shipped from Amsterdam) and reassembled it. The objective was to prepare as best we could for Monday when the process specialist from Reiser (Stuffer supplier) arrived to work with us on making sausages.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words so the Clipper is in the foreground and the Stuffer is attached in the background. Boo (he is the process specialist from Reiser spent his career of 34 years over the LSU Meat Lab) and I are trying to figure out how to set up the Clipper to fill chub bags with ground pork and patty sausage. After about 3-hours I called a truce and we switched to making link sausages then came back to the ground items and portioned them using the Stuffer into our regular vacuum seal bags until we could get some answers.

Making link sausages went great! Boo quickly set up and programmed the Stuffer to portion each link a quarter pound then add 4-twists and repeat. Since we add five links per package the total weight would be 1.25 pounds - taking in our best guess for shrinkage from smoking.

Here is a video Short located on our farm YouTube Channel showing Cameron operating the Stuffer while making our link sausages. Boo commented several times how good of a job and how quick he picked up on operating the machine - Boo was amazed when Cameron told him this was his first time ever to make sausage. We are very glad to have Cameron work for us. He has learned and contributed a lot to our plant processing team in the short time here.

As for the Clipper, Beth and I will visit a farm in South Alabama that has one (different brand but very similar) next week to understand the setup so we can learn what we need to do different.

In this picture Beth is unloading the Smoker with our Jalapeno & Cheddar Smoked Sausage. YUMMM YUMMM GOOD! I've got to have some of that 😀

Customers really appreciate that we do not use cheap seasonings that are filled with MSG.

I would also like to give a call-out to Matt - our Reiser Field Rep. He is working with MS State to set up classes for plants to learn. For August he set up a sausage making class and invited our folks to attend. This is a great resource and something I believe is needed by all the small plants that I have worked with.

Lastly, Thursday we hosted Jones High School agriculture class to include their teacher and several chaperones. We spent the first 15 minutes or so talking about what we do, how we do it, and why. I then asked their thoughts about how much food consumed in Mississippi is actually grown or raised in Mississippi? They were surprised the amount was only 2% since we are considered an agricultural state. I then shared the negative economic impact of importing $8.5 Billion in food per a 2016 report and opportunity direct marketing farms have to make a difference to families in their communities.

We toured the different parts of our red meat and chicken plant and discussed our operation.

I was thankful to Iris, a Career Coach with the Economic Development Authority, for setting up the tour. She emailed me later to say they had such a great time!!! The students were all impressed and chatted about what we are doing and how important it is. They were a bit shy while at the farm, but not on the way home!
