FARM UPDATE:
Hey, Ben here - this week we had a special visit from one of our restaurant partners, Mr. Josh Casper who is the Head Chef for the Depot Kitchen in Downtown Hattiesburg located across from the Train Depot. They have been buying our eggs for just over a year now. This was a great opportunity to get to know Josh as well as show him our farm and learn how we can better work together to bring healthy food to people's plates.
After the tour, I was able to record a short interview. Please click the video link to hear directly from Josh to include upcoming menu changes that includes more business for our farm.
Next week, I will be at Homestead Packing in Lucedale when they are cutting & wrapping our beef. My plan is to record a plant tour and interview with Ethan. I am sure you will find it very interesting how folks come together in an artisan style to bring healthy food to your family.
Remember, you can now place you orders for beef that will be available at the farm NLT March 30th and or the monthly delivery on April 3rd. Hope to see you soon and thanks for supporting our farm with your food dollars.
Customer Feedback- "Natures gourmet eggs and ground beef are so delicious! Ben was very friendly and helpful when I met him for the first time at pickup location. I love the convenience of ordering online, love the values this farm’s owners stand for, and the price for Grassfed local beef and pasture raised eggs can’t be beat!!!." - E Jackson
