Upcoming Order Deadlines


MADISON:
Order by Sunday, August 21, 2016
Pickup Tuesday, August 23rd, 2016

Hattiesburg & Hattiesburg Hwy 98 West
Order by Monday, August 22nd, 2016
Pickup Wednesday, August 24th, 2016

Biloxi & Gulfport
Order by Tuesday, August 23rd, 2016
Pickup Thursday, August 25th, 2016

To clarify the meaning of various dates:

1) Order by- all orders and any updates should be completed by this date. This gives us about a day or so to prepare your order

2) Pickup date- this is the day we meet you to deliver your order at the location you selected

3) Order Window- some folks received a notice that the order window was closed. That is because I had set the date to start taking orders for the next pickup date on Monday after Wednesday's delivery. I have reset the date to start the day after the pickup date.

Remember, you can place an order and or update an existing order until midnight of the Order By date. Visit our online store at www.naturesgourmetfarm.com

The week of July 24th was our first delivery week. All went rather smoothly. We do ask that you be patient as we strive to make this work. Please let us know your thoughts, concerns, and issues that will help us better serve you.

We now have pork available in 25# Variety Shares. To see what is included visit https://naturesgourmetfarm.com/store/product/pork-variety-share-25

Another happy beef customer: "Anyway, the beef is absolutely superb!!!!! We brought some to Oregon - just know we are solid customers for all your products". Lisa P. August 1st 2016

Next week I plan to share comments from this years Grassfed Exchange Conference and my participation on the Producers Panel.

Please help spread the word about our farm and local delivery service. Thank you!

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 & 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.
