FARM UPDATE:
Hello from Ben. What do you know about The Westin A. Price Foundation? Maybe you've not heard about WAPF - "The Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF) is your source for accurate information on nutrition and health, always aiming to provide the scientific validation of traditional foodways. People seeking health today often condemn certain food groups — such as grains, dairy foods, meat, salt, fat, sauces, sweets and nightshade vegetables — but the Wise Traditions Diet is inclusive, not exclusive".

We just renewed our membership after reading an excellent article by Sally Ann about a new campaign called Fifty-Fifty Pledge. It's about a challenge to WAPF membership to commit to spending 50% of their food dollar purchases directly from local farmers. Two of the benefits she includes are:
1) the only way we can save our pasture-based, pesticide-free farms is to make a conscious effort to purchase food directly from conscientious farmers (that you can trust)
2) the highest quality food today is produced on regenerative family farms.

Beth & I believe the best reason to commit to a Fifty-Fifty Plan is the physical and mental health benefits for you and your family!

Many of our customers are young mom's who are concerned about all the stuff found in industrial food, where it came from, and the risk to their family's health. Many of our older customers are striving to heal their health at least in part by switching their diet from processed foods to real farm food. The demand from both groups is growing.

We are here to support your families nutritional needs for true grass-fed and FINISHED beef, pastured pork, chicken, and eggs - all ethically raised without GMO's, antibiotics, and hormones. Products that our customers trust.

Meals that are sure to please start with Nature's Gourmet Farm beef, pork, chicken, and eggs!

Beth & I thank you for supporting local (integrity) regenerative food sources to create a food system that nourishes healthy families, that is better for the animals welfare, that is better for regenerating the land and that builds healthy communities. That is the only way to make a positive impact with your food dollars.

Lastly, please check out our new Homepage look & feel as we seek to better clarify our customer message and farm value offerings. As always, your comments are appreciated.

Customer Feedback –


"We've tried Nature's Gourmet Farm's beef, eggs, pork, and sausages, they are all very tasty. The meats are tender and easy to cook. It's good to eat food that's directly from a farm. You can't get anything fresher. Thank you very much, Ben and Beth! " ~Ann T.

Animal impact On OUR Pastures

The documentary Sacred Cow is known for the phrase "It's NOT the Cow, It's The How!" The meaning is simple. The cow is not responsible for any environmental effects on our land, water, or air. However, the way MAN insists on managing the cow IS RESPONSIBLE. The cow left to her nature and instinct would never confine themselves into a feedlot situration where they would be standing in their waste. Nor would the cow, when left to their nature and instinct, confine themselves to a single pasture on continuous graze. The cow's nature and instinct would be to eat, graze, and move - very similar to the buffalo

Government IS RESPONSIBLE For That

January 2024 LtGov Hoseman wrote an opinion piece that was published in newspapers across the state. The jist of his opinion was Mississippi's labor market is at a critical inflection point where only 53% of our population is working and the balance is not. While I fully agree Mississippi has a critical labor market issue - I also know GOVERNMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT!!! Full disclosure - I tried three times to discuss this point with Hoseman, but he never returned my call. I will be sending him

It's About FAITH

This week represents the most important week of our Christian Faith - leading up to Resurection Sunday (traditionally called Easter Sunday) where believers gather to celebrate The Lord Jesus Resurection from death. Now, trust me, the last thing I want to do is offend anyone. However, with a bit of an open mind you may want to continue and check out some of what I share. Otherwise, we look forward to you joining us back next week where I hope to share my thoughts on recent legislative happenings. First, I believe Christian Faith is best defined by Paul
