Farm Conference - Etta Hills - I am actually putting our newsletter together much earlier in the week than usual so I can attend the Etta Hills Farm Conference Thursday and Friday. That means a lot has to be packed into the days prior to driving about 5 hours Wednesday evening - then home Friday evening to help Beth with deliveries Saturday.
Etta Hills is owned by Dr. Allen Williams and managed by his son, Chris. This is their first conference that will be conducted in Southhaven, MS. Keynote Speakers include:
Peter Byck - filmmaker who led the documentary Roots So Deep
Dr. Ben Edwards - Founder, Veritas Medical * Host, You're The Cure
Christine Martin - Holistic Educator
Dr. Stephan van Vliet - Director, Center for Human Nutrition Studies * Utah State
Bishop Vincent Mathews Jr. - Presiding Bishop, The Tabernacle (Southhaven, MS)
My role will be as a Panelist along with several other folks - some of which I have known many years.
I expect to learn a lot from the conference and appreciate the opportunity to share our story.
On a separate note - have you seen the documentary, "Toxic Nation?" The documentary discusses the evolution of the more than 10,000 additives in our food, the false science Ancel Keys portrayed as FACTS to support his (and big ag) agendas to include the reason seed oils are so toxic to our human health. Here are a few key points from the film's introduction:
* This film dives deep into one of the biggest questions facing our world today: Why are we sicker than ever before?
* Over the past few decades, chronic disease has exploded--affecting both adults and children at unprecedented levels. But instead of addressing the root cause, the system continues to focus on treating symptoms.
* In this video, we explore the hidden factors driving this crisis-from environmental toxins and industrial food systems to the influence of powerful institutions that shape what gets studied...and what gets ignored.
* You'll hear perspectives that challenge conventional thinking, uncover overlooked data, and raise questions most people aren't asking.
* This isn't about fear. It's about awareness. And understanding what's really happening beneath the surface.
* If you care about your health, your family, and the future...this is a conversation worth having.

Picture of the Week - Beth and I closed out Monday evening by unloading our order of frozen turkeys that arrived at 10:45 pm - way past our bedtime. But, sometimes you just do what you have to do.
The good news is the turkeys look very good - and yes, they are totally pasture-raised and only supplemented with NON-GMO feed...the same as we raise our turkeys here at NGF. Our good farmer friend, David, who owns Fed From The Farm, made us a good price on the turkeys and combined our order with two other farms to help save freight - this allowed us to keep our price the same as last year. Even after higher fuel costs.
We sell our Thanksgiving Whole Turkeys as a Pre-Order. Pre-Orders are a separate order type than your regular orders. So, be aware if you order a turkey and regular items, then you will receive two separate orders.
Delivery will start Octoer 10th. We only ordered 60 and typically sell out with no problem, so if you want a Thanksgiving Turkey that is surely to please your family this Thanksgiving, be sure to place your order soon. Click Thanksgiving Turkey Order to get yours now.
