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!

NGF Customer Speaks Out

NGF Customer Speaks Out - First, a little background. Stephen & his wife Mary Katherine have been customers of our farm for 5 years. They, along with their 3 boys, have visited our farm. We have shared many conversations about farming and how Mississippi is truly a "food desert" (on a grand scale when only 2% of the food grown in MS is actually raised in MS). I know their passion for eating healthy and supporting small farms. They know my passion to increase small farms that serve their communities nutritious food. One day at our Madison pickup Stephen and I were talking and he asked, "What can I do to help grow the number of small farms?"

MS Ag Commissioner Visits NGF

Commissioner Andy Gipson Visits NGF - Monday, Commissioner Gipson (Andy) visited our farm for the third time. First, was after he was appointed and Senator Hill and I were working to increase the poultry exemption for Mississippi. The second time was after we built the USDA poultry processing plant that Andy supported our LWT Grant which helped fund about 50% of the cost. This visit was to support Andy’s efforts to both support existing farmers as well as encourage more people to farm and help feed our citizens.
