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!

Exciting News From Our Farm

Before I share our exciting news let me update you on beef! You may remember that we communicated our intent to combine April & May custom half orders and process them late March. That way we could increase the amount of inventory we are able to sell through our website. This week our team spent three long days cutting and packing eight beef that was added to our store late Friday afternoon. That represents two beef extra than typical to satisfy the demand we have for our beef. Now, for the exciting news. For some time I have been wanting to add to as well as upgrade our beef herd.

Animal impact On OUR Pastures

The documentary Sacred Cow is known for the phrase "It's NOT the Cow, It's The How!" The meaning is simple. The cow is not responsible for any environmental effects on our land, water, or air. However, the way MAN insists on managing the cow IS RESPONSIBLE. The cow left to her nature and instinct would never confine themselves into a feedlot situration where they would be standing in their waste. Nor would the cow, when left to their nature and instinct, confine themselves to a single pasture on continuous graze. The cow's nature and instinct would be to eat, graze, and move - very similar to the buffalo

Government IS RESPONSIBLE For That

January 2024 LtGov Hoseman wrote an opinion piece that was published in newspapers across the state. The jist of his opinion was Mississippi's labor market is at a critical inflection point where only 53% of our population is working and the balance is not. While I fully agree Mississippi has a critical labor market issue - I also know GOVERNMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT!!! Full disclosure - I tried three times to discuss this point with Hoseman, but he never returned my call. I will be sending him
