It's an exciting Saturday morning here on the farm as we kick off our 1st annual Pork Harvest Sale!

We have 4 options for you to consider, each with special pricing starting today and lasting through next Saturday, March 27th when the ordering period closes.

IF INTERESTED please make sure to read these TWO key steps before taking any action:

Step #1 - Identify your location's current estimated pickup date in the picture below

As was mentioned in my announcement last week, all items featured during this Pork Harvest Sale are available for pre-order only. We are expecting to start making pork pre-orders available to customers beginning in late-April through May.

Once you've selected the bundle you want to pre-order from our event offering page, you'll need to pick an "Availability Date" during the simple pre-order checkout process, as shown in the image below.

Please review the image below to identify the date you should select from the drop-down menu at checkout:

These dates correspond with our standard schedule you are likely accustomed to:

1st Sat of Month - Gulf Coast Route
2nd Sat of Month - Hattiesburg/Picayune Route
3rd Sat of Month - Jackson area Route
Weekly - Farm Pickup (but for these Pork Sale pre-orders, select April 24th)

Once you've made a mental note of the correct date for your pickup location route, please proceed to Step 2.

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

What If Pigs Could Talk

Well, at Nature's Gourmet Farm our pigs may not speak English, but their body language sure says a lot. Notice our pigs! See how content they are napping - they would say how nice the morning is and glad to enjoy the shade in our natural environment. The soft dirt is so relaxing. We have heard that some pigs live in cramped and confined spaces on hard concrete. Why would any farmer treat their pigs like that?
