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.

Taste Test

Greetings Ben and Beth, I'm really looking forward to my next order pick up. I'm trying to improve my cholesterol numbers, thus eating more chicken, and ran out of your chicken products. I ended up buying some industrially produced chicken, and man was that a mistake! It smelled terrible raw, also while it was being sauteed, and also later when I reheated it to put into an otherwise healthy salad. I have enough of this subpar stuff to last until I pick my order, but I don't think I can ever buy this CAFO stuff again.

Beef Update & A New Product

Beef Update – Typically this time of year folks are hesitant to buy bulk beef for their freezer due to hurricane risk. That is why we have delayed our next custom half & whole beef processing until September. If you are interested, our next harvest will be September 2nd with pickup on September 22nd. If you want to be included then please email me your name, email, and cell number to be added to our wait list - and be the first folks contacted and guaranteed to receive an order. Beef prices continue to increase and hit a new All-Time high this week fueled by strong demand and limited supply. For example, based on what a 700 pound steer sold for at the Hattiesburg Stockyard Monday, I could make more than feeding him till he weighs 1100 pounds and sell as packaged beef - but our mission is to provide nutrient-dense, clean food to our customers. Effective immediately custom beef half and whole prices will increase $0.50 to $6.25 per pound based on the hanging weight. Retail cuts will increase for September deliveries as well.

Real Health Is NOT A Pill. It's A Practice!

Two Great Must Read Articles – Typically I don't make a big deal about articles we have read, but these two are so good that I felt they needed to be shared. The first is by Joel Salatin titled "Food Think" that is part of his The Lunatic Farmer blog. You can read the full article at this link. The second article is one Beth forwarded to me from the Health Viewpoints section of Epoch Times titled "Americans Spend Trillions on Health Care but Remain Unwell - Here's Why" Dr. Yang, FAPA, a board certified psychiatrist, begins by stating the difference between treating disease and building true health lies in a proactive and preventative lifestyle. Note - Beth and I would agree with other folks who commented that his article is spot on and very important for folks to read and understand. You can read at this link.
