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."

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.

Real Health Is NOT A Pill. It's A Practice!

Two Great Must Read Articles – Typically I don't make a big deal about articles we have read, but these two are so good that I felt they needed to be shared. The first is by Joel Salatin titled "Food Think" that is part of his The Lunatic Farmer blog. You can read the full article at this link. The second article is one Beth forwarded to me from the Health Viewpoints section of Epoch Times titled "Americans Spend Trillions on Health Care but Remain Unwell - Here's Why" Dr. Yang, FAPA, a board certified psychiatrist, begins by stating the difference between treating disease and building true health lies in a proactive and preventative lifestyle. Note - Beth and I would agree with other folks who commented that his article is spot on and very important for folks to read and understand. You can read at this link.
