December Farm Video Tour

Good Morning from your farmer,

What our country needs are thousands of small family farms serving their communities with healthy food raised naturally and sold locally.

Friday, December 15th I meet up with Olivia here on our farm to make a video that she would then share on their YouTube channel. Olivia and her husband Paul once owned a small direct market farm in Indiana...then sold their farm to travel and interview farmers and share their stories. You can watch Olivia and the other farms they have interviewed at this link.

So, I decided to make the video to support my belief that what our country needs are thousands of small family farms serving their communities with healthy food raised naturally and sold locally. I believe what we are doing should be duplicated around the country and hopefully there will be those watching that might be interested.

Her visit was 3-hours, but Paul did a good job of condencing the conversation to about 55 minutes. In the video you will hear about my background as well as conversation around key activities like soil health, compost, and our plants.

Here is the link on our YouTube channel. Hope you enjoy and please leave your comments or reply to this email.

Ben Answer's Customer Questions About Chicken

This week I would like to answer two questions asked by new/prospective customers. The first question is: A customer asked if Nature’s Gourmet Farm “bleaches” our chicken during processing? ANSWER: Never! While bleaching is the standard method used by commercial raised chicken plants to kill pathogens, here at Nature’s Gourmet Farm we find at our very small family owned and operated plant that is not needed. And, our lab testing confirms this. Since becoming USDA in 2019 our chicken is tested and we have never had any instance of pathogens reported by our outside testing lab.

Community IS Something You Can Give

Lot's of very positive comments from last weeks Newsletter. Vanessa gave me permission to share her reply. Here goes- You have known my stance. They are trying to modify us to break our connection to our Creator. To be "unnatural" is to be without God. The definition for "sin" is "without God". These modified foods may be without the light of God, but I think no matter how injured we are, we can always find our way home. Where Attention Goes, Energy Flows. It's what I have always lived by. Our energy/attention is very valuable?

What's The Latest With Beef

Friday morning before 7a.m., a young mother called inquiring about buying chicken and beef. She had recently read where Moderna had received $175 million from the US Government to develop mRNA vaccines for our food supply. This greatly troubled her as a mother and unvaccinated RN. We understand! And felt the same. Equally disturbing is a quote from a prior CDC Director who stated the next pandemic will involve the avian flu. Is this their way of communicating what they are working on next - after Covid? A customer introduced me to Tracy Thurman who writes for the Brownstone Institute
