Upcoming Order Deadlines


MADISON:

Pickup Tuesday, August 23rd, 2016

Hattiesburg & Hattiesburg Hwy 98 West
Order by Monday, August 22nd, 2016

Biloxi & Gulfport

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!

This week the American Pastured Poultry Producers Association (APPPA) shared the USDA weekly disease update for Feb 4-10, 2025, a 4-day activity of exterminated chickens that is unnerving. During this timeframe 4.1 million chickens were exterminated. Most were egg layers and Ohio was the hardest hit. Here is the link that APPPA shared that tracks the outbreaks from the beginning - February 8th, 2022.

Compelling Purpose

Compelling Purpose – "What gets you out of bed in the morning?" The answer is your purpose, and if you don't have a compelling reason or purpose, you're likely to burn out and or fail. A brief testimony- folks who knew me in high school or even while on active duty Air Force in Plattsburg, NY would not have thought I would have ever amounted to much in life. Additionally, I was one of those who had to really study to make decent grades - even in college. (I was always jealous of folks like the dietian student in Statistics class who never studied, but made straight "A's"). Thus, I found myself in the help labs often. What I did have was persistence and perserverence! Spend the time, do the work to understand and succeed.

Farm Matters – First ACV - I left out a very important point regarding Apple Cider Vinegar. ACV is loaded with beneficial enzymes that helps the cattle better digest their forage and also provides needed energy. The same can be said for raw cows milk. Remember the chart I shared a few email ago that showed all the beneficial enzymes in cows milk vs.
