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.

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.
