Last week I shared our team processing ground beef for our farm’s March sales.

This was after two days spent cutting and packing steaks, roast, etc. from eight beef. Once all the beef was stacked into our freezer I made a short video that you can watch by clicking HERE

This video represents 8-beef. 1.5 beef were custom orders and 6.5 beef (about 1.5 more than our typical amount harvested) were for our farm store sales.
Inventory was added to our farm store Friday, Feb 23rd at 6pm. It is important to note this is the time communicated in our weekly newsletters.

And, boy were customers ready to place their orders! We are still in shock how fast product sold. By Sunday morning, 90+ percent had been sold.

Top 10 products for March by total sales are:
Custom Beef
Beef Ground Bundle 25#
Chicken Breast – 2 per pack
Beef Ground Bundle 10#
Beef Ground Bundle 50#
Grade A Large Eggs
Beef ORGAN Burger
Chicken Whole 4 lb Average
Beef Chuck Roast
Beef Steak Rib-Eye Boneless

Hopefully, our customers were able to order what they needed.

Beth & I as well as our team of dedicated folks want to thank you for your business.

Our hens also wanted to have their picture taken. This shot was from Sunday just after moving them to fresh grass. I was amazed how they were piggin out on the grass. Oh, by the way, we added 500 additional pullets to our flock February 23rd.

Farm Improvements

Farm Improvements – Fresh water is a necessity for raising healthy animals on pasture. Until recently, we used an ICB tote on a small tralier that we would refill from our well. During the summer the frequency greatly increases in order to keep the chickens hydrated. So, I called my buddy at Southern Pipe and ordered pipe, fittings, etc. and then rented a trencher for May 16th to install 2,700 feet of 1.25 inch PVC pipe. Along the line we added 15 Plasson Quick Coupler Valves that we will hook to as we move the animals through our pastures.

My Advise How To Jump Start Small Farms In Mississippi

“Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.” — Henry Kissinger The fight to change food from addictive to nutritive will most likely be harder than the fight regarding tobacco (smoking) in public places that started back in the 1980’s. 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
