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!

Clean Sheets

Family Bible– This is about a personal story I would like to share this Easter (Jesus’ Resurrection). My dad’s oldest sister is 102 years old and not as sharp as she once was even though she has the most content personality of anyone I’ve ever known in her limited condition. Recently her middle son, my 1st cousin, asked me if I would be interested in two Simmons Family Bibles – well of course, I replied. The oldest Bible goes back four generations and includes names, dates, etc. for birthdays, marriages, deaths. And the penmanship is amazing! The second Family Bible is two generations old and belonged to my dad’s parents.

What Would You Tell Politicians About MAHA?

What would I tell politicians about MAHA– This week Joel Salatin’s lunatic farmer musing was titled Organic Dependency. The gist of the article was about all of the organic | sustainable | regenerative | ecological farming organizations screaming that Trump’s budget cuts through the USDA will hurt their business….no more free hoop houses and such. I understand the solution may not be as simple as I make it out to be, but my number ONE position is that any law, regulation, funding, education, academic studies, etc. should be equal regardless if you farm conventionally | organic | sustainable | regenerative | or, ecological.

How We Bring Nutrient Density To Our Products

PLEASE NOTE- The market situation with eggs has softened and the $4 surcharge has been cancelled. Additionally, our new pullets have just started laying so we will soon have plenty of eggs. Many thanks for your understanding and support – we have the best customers!!! How We Bring Nutrient Density To Our Beef – Harry, a relatively new customer, picked up his first order at the Hattiesburg location March 1st. He had watched the new Joel Salatin documentary published by Angel Studios and was fascinated. Frankly, I think it is the best documentary of Polyface Farm I have seen as it filled in blanks from before Joel first started farming till now and HOW regenerative farming completely changed a once very degraded farm. Learn more here. Then, Harry visited me March 28th.
