The Value of Good Nutrition

Weekly we hear from customers who comment how much better their health is after committing to eating a healthy diet of quality meats and vegetables.

Beth has also written to share her story about how improved nutrition helped her reduce her risk of diabetes by simply eating GOOD carbs with QUALITY meats (protein) or GOOD fat with QUALITY meats. She lost more than 35 pounds and dropped her numbers into the safe zone.

Last week a regular customer told me since the lock down he has not traveled as much with his work and that his wife has fed him our meats and fresh vegetables. In about 6-weeks he lost 35 pounds and is feeling much better. All from replacing processed foods, snacks, and soft drinks with quality farm fresh foods.

Think about the risk he has at least reduced if not prevented! Heart Attack! Obesity and Diabetes! Cancer! Not to mention the lifetime of pills, doctor visits, and reduced quality of life!

There is so much misinformation out there you really have to be careful who you listen to. One of the organizations I have found to be credible is the Weston A. Price Foundation. As part of our membership they include a booklet that has a section titled "Myths and Truths About Nutrition. Over the next weeks I would like to include a section from WAP and share their Myths and Truths About Nutrition.

WAP Myths and Truths About Nutrition:
Myth: Heart disease in America is caused by consumption of cholesterol and saturated fat from animal products.
Truth: During the period of rapid increase in heart disease (1920-1960), American consumption of hydrogenated and industrially processed vegetable fats increased dramatically (USDA/HNIS).

Why is good nutrition so important? Because good nutrition supports a healthy immune system that is needed to protect you from all kinds of medical issues (both physical and mental).

Today, they want to stick you with all kinds of vaccines. When you read about vaccines and how many of them came about (as well as the many issues they have caused) you begin to wonder why would I want that for me or my children!

Here is a good reference starting point: CLICK HERE

Frankly, I look at things a lot differently now then when I was younger - that is what led me to Regenerative Farming. This includes QUESTIONING everything. For example:
- Why is the Gates Foundation the second largest dollar supporter of the WHO? It cannot be just about money with ALL the Billions they have!
- Why is the Gates Foundation so intent on a Covid-19 vaccine? And, why do they want to track my movements?
- Why has the media NOT reported on the lawsuits against the Gates Foundation from India and Africa where they killed and or maimed people with vaccines
- Why have we not seen the recent reports from Italy calling for the arrest of Bill Gates because of his ties to the Covid-19 virus? Read Here

With what I know I am very skeptical of any vaccines.

Sunday, June 14th is Flag Day! On June 14, 1777, less than one year after Betsy Ross had received the order from General Washington to make the first flag, the Second Continental Congress passed a flag resolution stating:

Resolved, That the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation.

A very dear friend sent me the following picture and accompanying remarks about a positive American Spirit!

Between the fields where the flag is planted, there are 9+ miles of flower fields that go all the way to the ocean. The flowers are grown by seed companies. It's a beautiful place, close to Vandenberg AFB.
Check out the dimensions of the flag. The Floral Flag is 740 feet long and 390 feet wide and maintains the proper Flag dimensions, as described in Executive Order #10834.
This Flag is 6.65 acres and is the first Floral Flag to be planted with 5 pointed Stars, comprised of White Larkspur. Each Star is 24 feet in diameter, each Stripe is 30 feet wide.
This Flag is estimated to contain more than 400,000 Larkspur plants with 4-5 flower stems each, for a total of more than 2 million flowers.

I can't help but sing Lee Greenwood's song titled "God Bless The U.S.A."

Exciting News From Our Farm

Before I share our exciting news let me update you on beef! You may remember that we communicated our intent to combine April & May custom half orders and process them late March. That way we could increase the amount of inventory we are able to sell through our website. This week our team spent three long days cutting and packing eight beef that was added to our store late Friday afternoon. That represents two beef extra than typical to satisfy the demand we have for our beef. Now, for the exciting news. For some time I have been wanting to add to as well as upgrade our beef herd.

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
