Hello from our farm,

Last week I shared three milestone accomplishments for 2019 as well as a peak at changes coming for 2020! This email was opened by 411 recipients - the highest number ever.

This week several customers emailed me these comments:

"So glad you finally moved your deliveries to Saturday..."

"Been wanting to buy from you for a long time. Glad you added Ocean Springs pickup location."


Today (Jan 4th) is our first Saturday delivery and we have NINE new customers who will receive their first order from our farm. That's really exciting to us!!! And, several others have selected a new delivery location that is more convenient for them.

Looking ahead we will be studying the path we have set up that customers follow from the time they first hear about our farm through their first order.

We believe in what we do, and have many happy customers who enjoy our partnership. So, we want to make sure we are clearly and effectively communicating the value our products offer and why they are different, better and more healthy options than what most Americans buy.

For example: Do our website and emails clearly offer solutions to customer problems? Is the ordering process simple, or complicated? Do our emails truly communicate who we are and teach people about our mission and farming practices?

in closing, it has been said that many folks know their doctor, most know the person who cuts their hair, and many even know their mechanic.

I'm excited that today more and more folks want to know the farmer that grows their family's food.

"I am very happy with the items I have tried so far. The beef is fantastic as well as the pork. I am going to order more in the New Year. I have not tried the poultry products but if they are anything like the beef and pork and I am sure to be satisfied. Thanks for what y’all do."

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

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?
