Fill Your Freezer For Months At These 5 Mississippi Farms Selling Beef And Pork In Bulk

Grocery store meat prices keep climbing, and that pushed me to start looking at farms around Mississippi instead. What I found surprised me: quiet gravel roads, small farm stores, and families who raise cattle and hogs on open pasture and sell straight to you. Buying beef and pork in bulk can stock your freezer for months, save trips to the store, and give kids a real look at where dinner comes from.

Belle Terre residents to weigh in on new Kroger store in Gluckstadt

Belle Terre community members are about to decide the future of a proposed 87,000-square-foot supermarket in Gluckstadt . National grocery chain Kroger is looking to build a new store at Bozeman Road but will need the approval of Belle Terre residents, who own the right to block large business spaces in the area. According to Gluckstadt Planning and Zoning Commissioner Caine Dearman, there is a restrictive covenant due to a previous lawsuit on the proposed 39-acre lot at the southwest corner of Bozeman Road and Gluckstadt Road. In 2014, the Mississippi Couty of Appeals overturned Madison County’s decision to rezone the parcel in a dispute with residents, leading to developers reaching a concession with homeowners. That covenant restricts the type of buildings that can go on the property, capping large businesses at 30,000 square feet without the approval of residents in Belle Terre. Homeowners can grant a waiver, but developers would need at least 55% approval of the Belle Terre residents in the subdivision on the southeast side of the intersection. Efforts to contact Gluckstadt Mayor Walter Morrison and property owner Ginger Edwards proved unsuccessful, but Dearman said the proposal hasn’t officially been brought in front of the city. The

The training center is expected to be operational in early 2027. Hayden Nickey, economic development specialist for the band, said it will allow them to expand on the workforce development and training they are already offering. "Overall, we're just trying to help increase employment in the county and the state. We're looking to bring in people who are interested in working with the tribe, whether that's the soft skills or hard skill jobs," Nickey explained. They will train people for trade jobs such as electrical work, heating, air conditioning and refrigeration. The center will include spaces for classrooms, computer labs and offices. Both facilities will be located in the Pearl River Community in Neshoba County. The 191-acre industrial park is slated to open in the fall of 2030.
