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.

Emotional Week = Short Newsletter

Difficult Week – About six weeks ago Beth’s mom Jackie found out her cancer had returned. Her condition worsened very fast and she passed away early Tuesday morning. Beth had been staying with her most of the last two weeks. Her funeral was Friday morning. Working with our team we were able to process chicken Tuesday & Wednesday mornings and post inventory. We also processed 8 pigs the afternoon of those two days and posted the fresh pork items. I want to express how much we appreciate our team who stepped up and did extra to support our farm and lessen the burden on Beth.

My Customer Response

Food deserts are regions where people have limited access to healthful and affordable food. This may be due to having a low income or having to travel farther to find healthful food options. Without access to healthful foods, people living in food deserts may be at higher risk of diet-related conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and micro-nutrient deficiencies. Medical News Today I would offer additional considerations to include: 1. In 2016 a study was made that determined MS imports $8.5 billion dollars worth of food. That was more than a billion greater than farm commodity crops generated in sales that year.

A Reason For Hope

A Reason For Hope - This newsletter has been hard to put together – so many different yet related inputs it has been difficult to keep the focus corralled and the length within reason. So, I will simply use a few excerpts from a recent podcast with Dr. Mark Hyman on TCN. The FACTS are clear – Centralized, Cheap, Commodity, Processed, and etc. food (as it is called – not what Webster calls food) is a complete FAILURE. FAILURE is across all races, includes male & females, and income levels. However, lower income levels are affected at a higher level and the Southeast US is also higher. FAILURE is not only in physical health with the increase in chronic diseases, but also mental health
