Trial Date: October 21st, Please Come And Show Your Support

Hello Small Farm Enthusiasts, Our trial date is set for October 21st at the Suwannee County Courthouse in Live Oak, FL. We would like to ask you to drop everything and come to the trial. The more people we can get into that room the better off we will be. If you want to say something on our behalf you may be allowed but if you want to observe, only, that works too. The judge will be persuaded by numbers of people interested in this case.

Rabbit, Chestnuts, Micro-Greens And A Trial 9/20/19

Hello Small Farm Enthusiasts, We may be going to trial. We are alleged criminals for selling food without a proper license. They sent an undercover investigator to our farm to buy our food and caught us red handed. We are charged with a second degree misdemeanor just like a druggy. Yes it is a very sick world we live in when the farmer and his wife who neither have ANY previous record are accused of a crime and the crime is something that people have been doing since the beginning of time.

Kefir, a Glass a Day Will Keep the Doctor Away and Persimmons A-plenty 9/6/19

Hello Small Farm Enthusiasts, Kefir made from raw, 100% grass fed milk is an amazing super food loaded with friendly bacteria for your gut. A healthy person will have 2 to 6 lbs of healthy bacteria in their gut. Another way to say this is that a healthy person will have 80% good bacteria and 20% bad in the gut but most Americans have this ratio reversed. This imbalance affects the immune function as these friendly bacteria are a huge part of your immune system.

Bulk Beef And Cheaper Pork Available 8/23/19

Hello Small Farm Enthusiasts, Let me explain why we now offer conventional feed pork. Very simple. We have lots of customers who struggle to buy our quality foods, financially, and this provides them another option. Also, up until now, Full Circle Farm pork has been done through "On Farm" partnerships so we did not want to bring in outside pork to compete with those partners. Now we do the pork ourselves and feel free to compete with ourselves and make a dollar where we can.

Labeled Food = Safe And Healthy? 8/9/19

Hello Small Farm Enthusiasts, Do you struggle to stay focused on meaningful goals? Most people do. You have to fight for what you believe in and not get sidetracked. For me, it has been human health, my own and others. Many years ago I treated people with vitamins, minerals, herbs, and amino acids and got some good results but learned quickly that if people do not learn a whole new life style, they will fall off the wagon. Many people I helped, who had good results, went on to going back to the same old slop food and bad health again.

Update On Our Plight With The State And New Products! 7/26/19

Hello Small Farm Enthusiasts, Many of you are asking about our situation with the state. In short the state is now requiring complete labels to get a pet food license. This will cost several thousand dollars and a lot of time and focus on the wrong thing. WE WANT TO FOCUS ON NUTRIENTS IN the food, not the package.

A Baby Is Born! And Follow Up On The Peas 7/12/19

Hello Small Farm Enthusiasts, Sweet baby LuAnna Joy was born to us on July 9th at 2:40 AM. We enjoyed an uncomplicated labor and delivery at home. She is perfect and cuter than anything I have ever seen and I look at her mom and sisters daily! We are all enjoying her so very much.

Your Health And How It Relates To Minimalism 6/14/19

Hello Small Farm Enthusiasts I, Alicia, was listening in on a conversation about a woman who was having tooth pain. Apparently, a crown that her dentist had put in, had broke and it was causing her so much pain, she was desperate to get it fixed. She made an appointment to visit her dentist for the next morning, arriving at 9AM when the office opened. The dentist did not arrive until 11AM and because the dentist was already behind schedule, did not have time to fix the tooth but told her what she would do to fix it, at a later time. Meanwhile, the pain was increasing and she had fear of a possible infection.

Fighting The Government To Be Free To Choose What We Eat 5/30/19

Hello Small Farm Enthusiasts We got such a huge outpouring of support after we sent out our last farm report, I felt overwhelmed and did not respond to many of you but want to take the time to do that now. So, we were investigated like criminals and showed up in court with 80% of the approx 100 people in the room there on either a drug charge of some kind or shoplifting. It was an arraignment only or a "plea day" where you make your plea of guilty or not guilty. We were instructed by our legal counsel to plea, "not guilty" and tell the judge we are in negotiations with the Dept of Ag.

Full Circle Farm, Ordered By The County Court, To Appear Before The Judge 5/17/19

Hello Small Farm Enthusiasts Labels. The State wants us to properly label our milk. We do not have an issue with labels, per say, but on the other hand, foods without labels can be healthier, at times, than foods with labels! Here at our house we certainly avoid foods with long labels and especially with things on the label that are hard to pronounce. "If a child can’t read it, we don’t eat it", is a good standard. But the State sent an undercover investigator to buy food directly from our farm and now we have to appear before a judge, like criminals, because we are not properly licensed nor do we properly label our products.

Would You Like More A2 Milk Products? We Are Listening 5/3/19

Hello Small Farm Enthusiasts A-2 milk. You want it, we are producing it and it has been growing for us since we started offering it. So, the verdict is that it is working for you, I'm assuming. We try to listen and do what the customer wants. No, we cannot do everything you want as we are a small family farm but we do what we can. And you all have voted with your pocket book and said we want A-2 milk. Long before you voted (10 years) we decided it was a worthy theory to pursue and to us it is still unproven except with anecdotal evidence.
