MISC MARKET NOTES

JBW FARM FRESH: Last weekend we went up to Albertville, AL and attended the South Poll Field Day. We had an absolutely wonderful time. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing Teddy Gentry speak on the South Poll cows. He is the one who created our dearly loved breed! For those who might not be familiar with who he is, he is the bass player for the country music group, “ALABAMA”. Teddy started the South Poll breed in 1989. The South Poll is a four way cross of Hereford, Red Angus, Senepol, and Barzona. He wanted an animal with a gentle disposition and would produce tender beef on grass. Here on the farm we raise these South Poll cows, which are also called “The Southern Momma Cow Breed”, and we love them!

On an entirely different note, we also launched our “Seasonal Collection” of Tallow Lotion! They capture the scents of fall perfectly! We look forward to seeing y’all at the Fall Festival, October 7th!

MOUNT MORIAH FARMS:  Happy Fall Y’all! We are certainly enjoying the cooler weather. We are super excited to be working on a few New Products to Add to our Line. We are trying our hardest to have them by the Fall Festival! I had a sweet customer of mine give me some mexican oregano to grow for my chickens this week. After doing some research, I read that oregano for chickens is known to strengthen the immune system and is thought to help guard against common poultry illnesses such as salmonella, infectious bronchitis, avian flu, and e-coli! Needless to say, I’m so happy to try my hand at growing some to help naturally prevent sickness!

We look forward to seeing you next Friday at one of our pickup locations. Thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!
