Come Spend A Few Minutes With Our Yearlings

Good Morning and hello from your farmer,

Last week I updated our use of compost extract on our forages and the positive impact we are starting to see.

Compost Extract improves soil health by balancing the biology (living organisms) in the soil that are responsible for nutrient transfer from the soil to plants - among many other things. Compost extract is used in place of chemical fertilizers.

Healthy soil is responsible for healthy plants. That was last week's story!

Fortunately, there is another part to the story as healthy plants are responsible for healthy animals. Here is a short 2-minute video taken last Wednesday 

The good news is healthy animals help us provide healthy food to feed many families who value the importance of real farm food raised without toxic chemicals and poison sprays.

I recently heard a statement that the US spends the least per person on food and the most per person on medical costs than any other nation!

Seems to me a lot of people should reconsider their priorities and focus more on their health. After all, who would want to spend their retirement years in doctors offices!

At Nature's Gourmet Farm, our intent is to create a community that evolves around one of the most intrinsically important things of the ages, and that’s the provision of sustenance. That's our passion - to raise healthy food to nourish families and strengthen immune systems.

Compelling Purpose

Compelling Purpose – "What gets you out of bed in the morning?" The answer is your purpose, and if you don't have a compelling reason or purpose, you're likely to burn out and or fail. A brief testimony- folks who knew me in high school or even while on active duty Air Force in Plattsburg, NY would not have thought I would have ever amounted to much in life. Additionally, I was one of those who had to really study to make decent grades - even in college. (I was always jealous of folks like the dietian student in Statistics class who never studied, but made straight "A's"). Thus, I found myself in the help labs often. What I did have was persistence and perserverence! Spend the time, do the work to understand and succeed.

Pricing | Farm Matters

Farm Matters – First ACV - I left out a very important point regarding Apple Cider Vinegar. ACV is loaded with beneficial enzymes that helps the cattle better digest their forage and also provides needed energy. The same can be said for raw cows milk. Remember the chart I shared a few email ago that showed all the beneficial enzymes in cows milk vs.

Apple Cider Vinegar

pple Cider Vinegar – What a busy week at the farm this week. Tuesday & Wednesday mornings were knee deep in chicken processing and then in the afternoons we were cutting and packing fresh pork items. Thursday is our standard order packing day! This week we had 107 orders between our farm, Magee, Flowood, and Madison pickup locations. Friday, Beth & I processed pork trim into fresh ground pork and patty sausage (my favorite - cooked then crumbled into a bowl of hot oatmeal).
