Be THE Change!

I had a conversation with a few people, a while ago, and they were complaining about the deplorable working conditions on the local large dairy farms.  One person was saying how sad it is that these illegal workers live in shacks on these farms while another was saying how many of the babies born to these workers die because of the high nitrate levels from the manure run off getting into the drinking water.  So I asked these fine folks where they buy the milk that they drink and of course they said, “At the grocery store”.   I asked them why they support Monsanto and the very things they are complaining about.  The dots were getting connected.  Wake up folks!   If you shop at Wal-mart you may be supporting slave labor.  Both of these folks were grossly overweight and I had to think how nice it was to, as Gandhi said, “BE the change you want to see in the world!” It is easy to point the finger and complain but harder to take full responsibility and grow up. The 2 links below will enhance your ability to grow up.

We are flush in frozen cream right now, so, while supplies last, our frozen cream will be half off which means $7.50/qt!  It is time to stock up!  
 
 

Pork highlights... 

New Product:  Fresh pork belly steaks are an excellent cut of the pig as it is the pork belly, which is used to make bacon, cut into steaks.  This is great to throw on the grill or bake in the oven.  The steaks are an average of 1 pound.  We only have three in stock to see how people like them so we expect they will go fast. 

We tried a new recipe this week for Bacon Wrapped Pork Medallions and we had to share it with you.  It was amazing. Check it out here: https://fullcirclerealfoods.com/blog?tag=recipes

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.
