Over the course of the last month or so I've shared the ongoing transformation our farm is making, and the positive impact it will have for our animals, the farm, our community and you, the end consumer.

The feedback we've received has been both encouraging and heartwarming, and Beth and I are so grateful for the support of our loyal customers who we feel are partners in this project.

Today, I have the pleasure of announcing an exciting way that you can begin to partake in the end result of this project, and enjoy an awesome savings during our first annual Pork Harvest Sale Event.

Let me share the 5 Key Points so you can know what to expect, know how to participate (if interested), and understand why we're so thrilled to bring this to you:

#1 The Pork Harvest Savings Event will begin next Saturday, March 20th, and then continue thru the following Saturday, March 27th.

#2 During that time you will have access to our best pricing of the year on Pork bundles, and a few special event exclusive bundles including a new variety bundle we've never offered before called the 1/4 Pork Harvest Box. I'm really excited about this one!

#3 We'll also be offering 50% off of the processing cost of both custom processed 1/2 Pig ($92.00 savings) or Whole Pig ($180.00 savings) pre-orders.

#4 All items will be available for pre-order only, which will allow us to know exactly how many animals to harvest at the end of the sale and enable us to pass along such a great savings to those who choose to participate.

#5 We currently expect to begin fulfilling all pre-orders starting in late April through May deliveries.

This event is a wonderful way to kick off our new way of providing you an exceptional, nutrient-dense pastured pork product from animals that spend their entire life on our farm, from birth to processing, under my care and guidance.

Last but not least, please be on the lookout for an email from me early next Saturday morning, March 20th, to review our entire event offering and pre-order your pastured pork.

Thanks, as always, for your support.

Update: Raw Milk | Wintering Our Chickens

Raw Milk – So, work has been done that will help our efforts be successful when trying to influence politicians to support Food Freedom, i.e. where small farms can raise and sell into commerce and consumers have the freedom to choose who they buy from. Last week I had an hour conversation with the Director of the TX based Farm & Ranch Freedom Alliance. They were helpful in Louisiana changing their laws to support raw milk. It was very clear that it requires knowing the current law(s) and what the end game needs to be. And, sometimes change comes by winning a battle at a time to accomplish the final solution.

Beef & Egg Pricing Updates

Beef Pricing – I wanted to take a moment to highlight my research on what the beef market is doing and what 2025 pricing could look like. First, Live Cattle Futures have been trading in a very tight horizontal range for at least the past two months with the upper limit in the $191.50 per pound area. December 31st price broke out ABOVE the prior top, came down and retested the breakout level, and then by January 3rd hit a new high just over $196 per pound live weight.

NEW Ocean Springs Pickup Location | Bacon, Bacon, Bacon

"NEW" Ocean Springs Pickup Location – During our December delivery a representative of the property owner stopped to say we could no longer use their location to meet customers. I queried our December customers and received several suggestions. The recommendation we decided on was the Park & Ride lot located in the SW intersection of I-10 and Hwy 609 (Washington Ave.). This is next door to Denny's. Here is a link to the updated details including a map showing where to meet us beginning January 4th. In many ways this location is much better than the Ace parking lot. I know for us it will be nice not to have the traffic on Hwy 90 especially when there are events scheduled in downtown OS.
