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.

Farm Improvements

Farm Improvements – Fresh water is a necessity for raising healthy animals on pasture. Until recently, we used an ICB tote on a small tralier that we would refill from our well. During the summer the frequency greatly increases in order to keep the chickens hydrated. So, I called my buddy at Southern Pipe and ordered pipe, fittings, etc. and then rented a trencher for May 16th to install 2,700 feet of 1.25 inch PVC pipe. Along the line we added 15 Plasson Quick Coupler Valves that we will hook to as we move the animals through our pastures.

My Advise How To Jump Start Small Farms In Mississippi

“Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.” — Henry Kissinger The fight to change food from addictive to nutritive will most likely be harder than the fight regarding tobacco (smoking) in public places that started back in the 1980’s. Note that my comments are NOT a condemnation of anybody who may use tobacco in any way as this can be a sensitive topic. However, it is personal to me as my Dad smoked at least 45 of his 75 years and died of lung cancer.

Small Farm Republic

Pasture Talk With Our Cows– Tuesday morning I was out checking on our cows and took the opportunity to record a short 2-minute story about the time I saved the life of one of the “pet” cows Number 608. Click to watch here. Small Farm Republic- is a book written by John Klar. A former attorney who contracted Lyme disease, John now farms in Vermont. I spent much of last weekend reading his book. He is very pro-small farms and presented a lot of evidence to support his position. On page 77 he makes a comparison to the number of farms and farmers during the Great Depression versus today. During the Great Depression the American population was 100 million. According to USDA charts
