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."

Cows & Pigs

Brand New Services– About six weeks ago Dixie Electric Power installed a brand new electric line with poles down my road. They replaced the old copper lines with aluminum and the poles are much better quality and taller. I asked the district manager when was the old copper line installed and he said since electric service was available for us… so, maybe since the mid 1940’s? Then, this week our complete road was blacktopped!!! If you have visited our farm you know it was long overdue. For years it has been patched to the point where the patches had patches. Hahaha

Clean and Cold | Adorable Calves

New Calves On Our Farm– Sometime in April we call our vet and schedule a breeding soundness exam for our bulls. This is before we add our bulls to our cow herd May 1st each year. Our oldest bull, affectionately named “Ole Man” by the guys here, was born on our farm the Spring of 2016.

New Pullets | Calves | Job Opening

Pullets arrived March 1st– every 6 months we receive a fresh batch of pullets. This year we were not sure if our late February to early March batch would be available…even though we ordered them last September. However, mostly since we have done business with the same farmer since the Spring of 2017, he prioritized our order and delivered them March 1st. While the price was higher, I was braced for a much higher price. Our pullets are typically 17 weeks old when delivered. They will start laying at about 24 weeks. That means we should start seeing medium eggs by our May delivery dates. YEAH!
