Speaker 1 (00:16):
Alrighty down Hala, Praise the Lord, fellow warriors.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
This is Michael Bashan for the Spirit Force Journey, the
experience the command base here in Waynesville, Western North Carolina.
I am so happy to be here, so thankful, thankful
for the Word, thankful for the revolution, the Holy Spirit
coming in. Experiencing more and more miracles, and some of

(01:38):
them are just really unexpected, like giving your life to
the Lord. You don't always know what he's gonna do.
You're just like, God, take me. And then you're moving
to Japan, and then you're moving to Taiwan and India
and Nepal and Hawaii and volcanoes, and then you're in
the western North Carolina Smokey mountains. And I found out

(02:02):
really fast that I am not a farmer. I tried
to do some farming so that I could at least
speak the language of the local people, but what turned
into just a goat escapade, NonStop goats taken over everything. Eventually,

(02:26):
it was pretty obvious that we needed to say goodbye
to the goats and just get back to what we
do best, which is, well, there's a lot of things,
for example, such as, well, there's anyway we're doing a lot.
We have a lot of businesses, a lot of ideas,
a lot of different ways to prosper and prosper others.

(02:47):
Because the vision is as we prosper, we can prosper
other people. That's the whole point, not get rich and
make show off. And our church, Eagle Mountain Church, is
prosperous and they're able to bless others and give and
that's the not business model, but that's the ministry model
we want to see. We want to help bridge that

(03:08):
here into Heywood County. So today we're going to have
a wonderful conversation with Courtney of the Haywood Premium Beef
Facebook page. But actually they have like four hundred cows
and fifth generation farm family and I can't wait to
just learn and hear about the stories and Haywood and

(03:33):
just everything that they have going on here. Because I'm
kind of an alien Akheim from far away and not
too many people understand me. That's okay, but when you're
talking like supporting the local people that just got hit
by the hurricane and have been through so much. I mean,

(03:55):
I was listening Alex Jones yesterday and the plan is
to control the east and west coast of the United States,
turn them into totally blue nightmare scenarios and then invade
into the rest of the country. So that to me
says we're in a war and it's not to just

(04:17):
get involved politically. I got involved with the Team Waynesville
and we worked with Joey Reese and Stephanie Sutton and
Peggy Hannah, and that's just the local team to bring
awareness and hopefully get the government back under the control
of the people that are the local people who have
the local people's interests, not just bringing everybody else in

(04:40):
and taking over everything. Well, what I found out after
engaging with that, and you can go and listen to
those town hall meetings really really good. I can't wait
to see Stephanie and Joey come back on the show
and share two. Three years in I think it has
been three years now, almost two years twenty twenty three,

(05:03):
it's coming into the third year. So I found out
that to fight this war, we've got to pray, we've
got to be in the word. We've got to be
focusing on the word, letting the word take over. The
Word of God is designed to take over your whole life,
and a lot of people are just oblivious and they

(05:24):
live in poverty, and they don't know about tithing, and
they don't know about having healing, access to healing. They
don't know about how you can really become wealthy in
the kingdom. Malachi three ten, bring ye all the tithes
into the storehouses. That there may be meat in mine house.

(05:45):
So think about it the father's house, meet in my house,
and there's always mate in the fridge here. I'll trust
you guys are all enjoying the fact that even if
Bill Gates wants to take away the food and make
you eat bugs and klau Schwab says, bug time, Buggy, buggy,

(06:08):
in the father's house here in Waynesville, we actually have
meat in the house, and we are learning about tithing,
about making sure we are faithful as much as possible,
to put ten percent into the Kingdom, into the church,
and above that the gifts, the offerings. And I want

(06:31):
to thank everybody that's been a part of this. If
you guys are wanting to support this ministry here in Waynesville,
it's also probable that some of you guys like ground
beef and steaks and they can send them to anywhere
in the country. At this time. So the email for this.

(06:54):
As we're about to get Courtney in here, I'm sinking
I must open a nazzavindo, so I'll show you later.
But just go on to Facebook and look for Haywood
Premium Beef h A Y W O O D. And

(07:15):
we're not just going to talk about farm and it's
going to be a lot to do with the local
the history of of Haywood County. Okay, here we go,
Here we go. Haywood Premiumbeef at gmail dot com. So

(07:38):
we're gonna be discussing the fake versus the real beef.
And you can also go to their website see all
of their lovely I mean their Facebook page, see all
their lovely postings of the free the beef ready to
be distributed, ready to be coming to you. I had
some last night. It was absolutely wonderful. Slept so well,

(08:00):
just enjoyed, enjoyed my laugh I'm still enjoying it. I
slept like a baby after that. Let's read this whole
verse because I think tithing really ties into this. Bring
ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may
be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith
say the Lord of Hosts. If I will not open

(08:20):
you the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing,
that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
And I will rebuke the devourer for your sake, and
he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground. Neither
shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in
the field. Say it the Lord of Hosts, hallelujah, And
all nations shall call you blessed, for you shall be

(08:45):
a delightsome land. Say at the Lord of Hosts. Your
words have been stout against me. Say at the Lord.
Yet you say, what have we spoken so much against
thee People say like, oh, the Bible's boring. I don't
want to learn about God. While your words have been stout.
Your words, We have to watch what we say. You
have said it is vain to serve God. And what

(09:06):
profit is it that we have kept his ordinance? And
that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of Hosts.
And now we call the proud happy. Yea, they that
work wickedness are set up. YEA. They that tempt God
are even delivered. Then they that fear the Lord spoke
often one to another, and the Lord hearkened and heard it,
and a book of remembrance was written before him for

(09:27):
them that feared the Lord and that thought upon his name,
And they shall be mine. Say it the Lord of Hosts.
In that day, when I make up my jewels, and
I will spare them, as a man spareth his own
son that serveth him, Then shall you return and discern
between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth
God and him that serveth Him, not whoe. So there

(09:52):
is a lot to that, and it's obviously more than
just tithing, but really serving God. Knowing the spiritual laws.
I really recommend getting into the laws of the spirit,
not the Ten Commandments, just that that's another thing. Those

(10:14):
are really important too. And then loving God, loving your neighbor.
And as long as that's your focus, you're going to
be doing pretty well. But recently, since hitting the ejection
button from sticking in the info war too much and
trying to do things in the flesh, I was abducted

(10:39):
by intercessors, people that pray all the time, and I
found out that there are things that I'm missing in
my faith that I was allowing social media and AI
and entertainment and other things to come in and choke
the Word. And when I found out about the fact
that there are laws of the spirit, for instance, you

(11:00):
want to get healing, you've got to fight for it.
You've got to spend time building your faith around healing,
monitoring what you're saying with your mouth. Well, I'm getting
to that age. Well here, here, bird, you've got to
take the time to get into those scriptures and let
that word of God dwell in you richly with all wisdom,

(11:22):
so that you'll be like the the woman with the
issue of blood who said, if I can but touch
the hem of his garment, I will be healed. Well,
that's what you gotta do. And that's what we get
to do. And if you call it, if you say, well,
if I can but do this, I shall be healed,

(11:46):
You're going to find out that God is going to
honor that faith. And he respects two things. He respects
his word and he respects our faith in his word.
None of the other stuff that we do is gonna
mount to a hill of beans. So that's where I'm at,
and that's what our mission is here in Waynesville, North Carolina,

(12:08):
is to bring the Word and in the midst of
all that the Lord has been blessing us, blessing us,
blessing us with different opportunities. Car we're learning about car rental,
We're learning about property management and house cleaning, the father's
house cleaning services, things that you can do to make
money while serving God. I love that. And then we're

(12:31):
also opening up a vision for a church for the
Basham family to be resuscitated into the legacy of our
grandfather's ministry. There's a give send go for don Basham
ministries if you're if you're aware, gives send go is
the better way to donate to stuff because the truckers

(12:54):
were shut down by go go fund me. Go fund
me is the bad one. Sen Go doesn't even get
to be on the app store. So that's like revolutionary.
So we have a gift send go, and that is
towards building up the Bashum legacy, growing up faith, putting
in mature teachings. We have a church that's in our sites.

(13:19):
We want to basically continue to do what Bashams do best,
which is assist other missionaries and other ministries. But first
of all, my grandfather's tapes, this book right here, this
is face up with a miracle. It's I don't think

(13:40):
in print anymore. It doesn't even have an ebook. This
book changed the lives of millions and millions of people
back in the day, and the copelands used to come
to my grandfather's Bible studies and my grandmothers and like
back in Pennsylvania. I want to see this book back

(14:03):
in available distribution and his books on deliverance. This book
lead us not into temptation confronting immorality in ministry. These
books are not available at least they're not easily found

(14:23):
unless you already knew who he was. There is so
much to these and I think that the church is
going to be boosted mega big time when we make
these books available, and also the tapes, the videos that
all that takes time. And I'm not saying we're going

(14:44):
to get a billion dollars overnight. We could if that's
what the Lord wants to do. I am calling it
a billion dollar fundraiser for Don Basha ministries. We are
already looking at airports for sale, We're looking at facilities
for publications. We want to hire a staff full time,

(15:04):
and once that's in operation, I have vision to also
resuscitate other ministries that have been demolished or just neglected,
like Arned Baxter, Liz Walker, June Ferrell, some people you
probably never heard of. But I'd like to be a
blessing to ministries that you know their family has all

(15:25):
the materials, but nobody has the time to make them available. Well. Meanwhile,
I went on a pilgrimage from Florida to California to Oklahoma,
and I visited many of the Victory Channel churches and
some of the newer Some of the newer warriors don't

(15:55):
drop the flag in a veterans ministry base. Do you
have to burn a flag if you drop it? I
don't know. I'm not sure if we're there. But I
went to David Miller's main home base, the author of
redacted and Manual for Church Discipline. This is how to

(16:16):
give u spanking when you're having church and people aren't
abiding by the guidelines. This is very useful resource. It
quotes Derek Prince in it, and it's just basically like
how to do church and how to not mess around
with people doing hanky panky in church. We are not
a church currently. This is a downtown outreach base that

(16:38):
serves many purposes. But my grandfather is mentioned in this
book Redacted, A Secret History of Exorcism by David Miller,
And I'd like to continue to work with these guys
for sure. So there's all these new warriors coming in
and they have their own ministries and they have their
own stuff going on, and certainly we have this broadcast

(17:02):
going on too. We're very serious about being in the word,
staying in the word as much as possible, and then
seeing what God brings about, like the beef, like the
car rentals. Spirit Force now has an LLC, and I
have separate accounts to manage the different expenses, the different

(17:24):
when we finally hire people, all of that. So we're
getting organized so that we can grow, because in the
status that we were a few months ago, it was
like forget it. Like if God gave us a billion dollars,
we would have need of a lot of time to prepare.
So we're preparing the ark, so to speak. And God
is the one who brings the animals to the arc,

(17:44):
and God is the one who closes the door on
the arc when it's time for the flood. And I'm
just I'm really just wanting to be a blessing and
the first billion that we get two hundred million is
going to other ministries. That's the goal. And the first
dollar that we get twenty cents is going to other ministries.
How about that the first penny we get? Wait, no,

(18:08):
that's crazy math. I don't know how to divide a
penny point zero two percent of a penny. But see,
I'm having fun. I don't need your money. I'm not
here for money. I literally am learning about tithing and
offerings because it has helped me get out of the

(18:29):
poverty emergency mode mindset. How are we going to pay
the bills?

Speaker 3 (18:33):
What?

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Running around? Running around thing? And when I go to
Kenneth Copeland's church, the Prophetic Family, the Copeland family walk
in the Prophetic and their military base in Fort Worth, Texas,
and I see those satellite systems broadcasting the Word of faith,
and I see that airport, and I see the pastors

(18:56):
George and Terry, who I consider my pastors, flying to
my neck of the woods in Naples, Florida to preach
a sermon right twenty minutes from where I lived in Florida,
my high school, and all that Marco Island and Naples, Florida.
It is the Faith Church Naples, and then I see
them right back in Texas the next day to do

(19:18):
Sunday morning service. I think that's a good usage of
technology and funds and building up the body, because there
isn't another church in that town in Florida that is
teaching healing and miracles and just learning how to guard
your tongue so that you don't speak perverse speech where

(19:39):
you say things that you don't want to have happen
with your mouth. A lot of people do that, and
it's a problem, and we don't want to do that
no more. So I am no longer criticizing big ministries.
Of course, there are corrupt pastors and ministers. But if

(20:00):
if you want to get out of the hole, for
example giving tithing, that is a way to do that.
And if you don't believe in tithing, at least you
can buy meat from heywould premium beef? All right, let's
take a little break and we'll be right back and
hopefully we'll have Courtney in studio relatively soon.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
I'm comfortable? All right?

Speaker 2 (24:59):
Good. So I don't know how much you want to
share about what you do here, but you're a busy lady.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
I am a busy lady. Well, we have actually Blake
and I have a business that's called Haywood Premium Beef
it's in Heywood County actually in your little area. It's
local farm raised beef and it's fifth generation farm that

(25:26):
you know, they just raise cows there. You know, it's
really cool because it's a dying breed, the whole farming,
because this is you know, local farms. It's it's just
becoming a dying breed. It's more it's getting to be
mass produced with huge food loots and stuff, and you really,

(25:51):
you know, don't know where your food comes from anymore.
That's the big thing. Yes, you don't really know what
you're eating at least, like when you do get local
farm raised beef, you know exactly where it's coming from.
There's no like antibiotics, growth hormones, none of that in there.

(26:12):
And they're happy cows, their own pastures their whole life.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
I've never seen happier cows in my life than this county.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
Yeah, I mean, if you drive in our county, you
will see you know, cattle farms and you know, they're
just happy. They don't you know, they don't have to
be mass fed and big feed lots and that kind
of stuff. They're just out there their whole entire life.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
So yeah, So tell me about your I've just been
plugging your Heywood Premium Beef on Facebook and Heywood Premium
Beef at gmail dot com where they order.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yeah, they can send me a message via a Facebook
or Gmail, okay, and we can get back with them.
We can ship it to them wherever it needs to
be shipped, uh or if they're close in the area,
we can deliver to them. Right now. With with the

(27:08):
economy and how everything's gone, you know, we're pretty much
close to the same prices as these big markets. We
do sell a fourth of cow, half a cow, whole cows.
You know, with the winter season coming up, it's kind
of nice to have your whole you know, refrigerators and

(27:29):
freezers stocked up. So and you can get pretty much
anything from you know, macaw. We we sell beef cheeks,
we sell tongues, ox tails, be fat, you can make.
We we can do tallow for them.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Tell them Tell them about tallow because that was an
interesting post.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
So tallow is basically beefat that's rendered down. A lot
of restaurants have moved to using beef tallow in their
oils because it seems to be healthier and it's very
very good and a lot of women are using it
as cosmetics. Really, yeah, they're putting it on their faces

(28:13):
and it's just it's coming to be and it's getting
to be, like candles are being made with it and
that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Nice.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
So it's an it's a neat byproduct of the cow then,
you know, because now you're using the whole cow. It's
not just bits and pieces.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
So yes, which is really seed oils are so bad.
Everybody talks about seed oil. And then go buy like
one hundred dollars bottle of olive oil or.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
Like you know, yeah, and then you can buy the
beef tailor, which is you know, way cheaper. Yes, so really, yeah,
it's it's way cheaper. Like we have the beef fat
where you yourself can render it down or we can
render it down for you. So yep, you know, if
anybody is local to the area, you know, like I said,

(28:58):
you're more than welcome to come by and see us.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah that's right here, and you're you're talking about this
location then so two nine two North Heywood Street. Really
really proud and blessed to be working with you guys
and just seeing you know, you guys can go right on, Hey,
we bring me in beef and see the beef surloin
tip roasts, and the prices are comparable with groceries, but healthier,

(29:25):
much healthier than what you're going to be dealing with
with pink slime. And what is that stuff anyway, that's
pink slime.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
It's the bot product that they put in that is
supposed to keep your meat longer. Okay, which is you know,
if you go down the rabbit hole your I went
down rabbit holes and kind of read about what's in
your food. And it's very scary because you're just you're
not really used to it. Your body's not used to it.

(29:53):
But you know, in this day and age where you know,
we're all have families and are very busy and you
need to stop here and there, but sometimes we need
to look. I guess about what our kids are eating
and what we're eating too.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Yes, yes, like going to Wendy's and then enjoying your
beef last night, it was totally different experience of because
people are greedy, these companies are greedy, and and now
we have like Bill Gates is trying to vaccinate people
so they're allergic to beef. Did you hear about that?

Speaker 3 (30:23):
I've heard about that.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
It's weird stuff going on.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
Well, and also people don't realize that there is actually
a tick that if you get bit by it, it
actually will make you allergic to beef. That's the new
new thing that's going on.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
Yeah, so you heard of anybody getting that?

Speaker 3 (30:42):
I have. Yeah, I've actually met a couple of people, so,
which is that's kind of strange. But you know, my
thing is is if you could just buy local. I mean,
not only are you helping the local farmers, but you
also have to remember when you buy local, you're helping like,
you know, people's football teams, and you know, because these

(31:03):
local businesses do donate to the community.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
So right, yeah, the whole community gets built up. And
what is the enemy trying to do is trying to
destroy small towns. And this is where the hurricane hit. Guys.
So there's people that I meet that don't even have cars.
They're living in houses with like their fans, their cousins,
and it's just a I am so impressed by the

(31:27):
ruddy Mountain spirit of you guys. Like I'm kind of
like the alien that came from Hawaii. But I'm just
amazed and blessed and getting to work with you, getting
to work with Jody and others. Right, so many great
people here that are just they care about people and
you know everybody. I mean you've been here your whole life.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
So I was raised here, so it's.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yeah, tell us about your your life here.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Well, I mean so I was raised here actually on
Balsam and it was just it's a small town. I mean,
everybody knows everybody, which is really neat, you know, and
then you know in the summertime as you have the
tourists that come in. Growing up was I mean, it
was fun. And then I thought I would needed to

(32:13):
go to a big town. Moved to Jacksonville, Florida. Oh
I did not like it. I came back home, stayed
there for three years. I thought that I would love
the big city life. But it you know, city life
is way totally different than the country life. Slower pace
of life. That's the best thing about this county is
it's just i mean slow paced and everybody if you're

(32:35):
from here, everybody's friendly to each other.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
So it's true.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
They always say hey, and you know hello, and you know,
it's just the small town field. So we would love
for people to come and visit you know, to help
our community out, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
Yeah, we we can small plug. We do property managing
of luxury cabin rentals, so if you guys rent from us,
we'll we'll make money too, cleaning it and preparing it
in our family. It's just a beautiful feeling to have
all this community and symbiotic like I don't have time
to raise cows right now for five generations. I mean,

(33:15):
let's just here they are. Let's work with them. And
I don't have time to go join the military and
figure out how to be a soldier and then help soldiers.
Like there's that wild man out there that you know,
it's just you know, every day with Jody Halseid is
is kind of an unpredictable adventure.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
So he does make us all that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Yes, it's true. And his dogs are trying to get
in here. So my dad saw he finally saw the
video version of the podcast, because if you're listening on
the radio, we have a podcast on Facebook right now.
But he's like it's so real, like you should have
like goats walking around behind like you're just trying to
do the show and you're trying to fix everything. There's
like a goat eating the paper.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
The one thing that I will you know, going back
to Helene and stuff. Yeah, the one thing that I
will say about this whole western North Carolina is everybody
came together and helped each other even when you know,
we were basically plugged away from the world because we
didn't have internet, we didn't have cell phone, and but

(34:17):
watching the community come together and help each other out,
that was a big deal. You know, I will have
to mention, you know, Blake which owns him and his
dad or his whole family owns the farm. They were
out helping farmers and other people, you know, move cows
and that kind of stuff. So you know, it is it.

(34:39):
We all are community. We all come together when things happen,
you know bad. You know, if you you've probably drove
down Clyde and Canton and you've seen, you know, people
out there helping other people. That's that is just the
way our community works, which you know, you don't get

(34:59):
that in that big town, you know, you don't see that.
I mean, I I remember last year I was actually
going around giving out food from the restaurant that I
worked out because the owners were like, just give it away.
Make sure people have food and that's there that they
aren't hungry, So that's a big deal, you know, and

(35:21):
people don't really hear those stories of community.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
So yeah, that was amazing. There was a lot of
a lot of cows washed away, right They found cows
like there miles away.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
There was Yeah, there was several cows that did get
washed away, but then there was cows that didn't get
washed away that you know, all the farmers came together
and you know, helped each other, which was really you know,
neat if you know, if you come from a big
city and you've never seen that, it's you know, it's
very very cool to see. Yes, and you know, people

(35:57):
actually taking their shirts off their back for people. Yes,
and all the churches opening up, yes, and people stay
in the churches and feeding them and people are like, oh,
well they only did it for a couple of weeks.
You know, there's still churches. Well yeah, there's still people
that need food and places to stay and these churches
are still doing that right now.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
So wow, yeah, man, where to even start, Like just
that whole year, it's only been a year. Can you
believe that it feels like years ago because of the emergency,
But you know, I think the devil really hates the
people of Haywood County because this example of life and
farming and being just being faithful with what you have,

(36:41):
This could be transplanted all across the country and all
across the world, you know, using technology. You guys ready
building tractors and excavators and and it's not easy live.
We live like up in White Oak, like windy roads
everywhere and washed out driveways and you know, trees falling
on how all the time. And it's there's a lot

(37:02):
of work, but it's it's there. Every day is meaningful here.
It never feels like some boring town in Florida or
you know, well from.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
You know, and going back to you know, the farm life.
It's not just cattle farming, you know, it's crop farming
and stuff. But yeah, and what people don't realize is
like these people are up you know, five and six
o'clock in the morning and they don't go to bed
until ten or eleven o'clock because they are feeding their
cows or you know, they're getting their crops in you know,

(37:33):
for the winter. That kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
Full time job.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
It's a full time job. And you know, even if
it's raining, snowing, sleeting. They're all still out there working
in this and it's just like, wow, I don't know
how you guys do that all the time. You know,
you look out and it's like twenty degrees and then
you know, you drive down the road and you see,
you know, the cattle farmers out, you know, feeding the

(37:58):
cows and making sure they have what they want. And
it's not like people are like, oh, well, they're cattle farmers,
but you don't realize that they do have to get
hay for their cows. Oh yeah, so you know they're
producing hay for their cows, right. You know, some cattle
farmers do grain fed some so they're getting that up.
You know, dairy farmers, you know, they're still having to
milk those cows, still having to And that's the thing

(38:21):
that people need to really respect the whole farming industry
because it's it's such a dying breed. I mean, our
generation and younger they don't want to farm anymore. They don't.
It's it's too hard to work for them. That's that's
sad to say.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Well, I mean, gosh, in Jesus' name, I speak life
into farming. That it's not going to die out. That
we have a new echelon of young desiring to work
hard people and the government helps and it's no longer
like people just look down on farmers, farming and farmers
in general.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
They do, but they're so weird like they do, but
there makes sense very like you say that, and they're
very smart people.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
They're brilliant.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
I mean just having conversations with them, they know a
whole heck of a lot. And it's incredible if you
guys ever get time just to sit down and talk
to a farmer, Yes, whatever farming industry they're in, it's
very interesting because they know a whole heck of a lot.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
Yeah. Well, hopefully with technology and new ways to do
it will inject a new generation that even using AI
and robots like just not because we want to replace farmers,
but so that a farmer has more tools, like you
have a tractor. And I see a vision of just

(39:45):
making it so prosperous. These mountains are so rich the
soil and once you put like my goats were pooping everywhere,
so my soil just got super nice. And chickens when
I moved the chicken coop, suddenly all these tomatillo plants
started growing tomatoes and it was like, whoa, this is
great poop. Yeah, man, get lots of poop going.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
And they do produce a lot of poop, you know,
lots of poops a lot, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
And it's not bad for the environment. Silly weird leftists
that think that cow farts are ruining the environment. One
volcano going off and I just came from a volcano,
so I looked inside of it. That amount of CO
two emission is more than the entire output of like
China for a year. So it's stupid when they're saying
cow farts and they're putting little bags on the cow bottoms.

(40:34):
And New Zealand have you seen that. It's just madness.
It's like city people are crazy now. They literally believe
anything so well.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
I mean, I think though, like you know, one thing
is is if you're gonna get if you want to
get into farming, you need to be around a farmer
that has done it for a long time, right that,
you know, that's the message is just you know, really
get to know the farmers around. And you know these

(41:05):
farmers aren't you know, bad people to talk to. They're
actually really fun to talk to. Yes, just you know,
picking their brain about farming that they've been doing for
years and years. Yes, I know. The Francis says they
actually started out as dairy farmers and then they moved
into the meat industry, so they know both sides of it.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
Do you guys do dairy as well?

Speaker 3 (41:27):
They don't do dairy, they do just meat now, okay.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
So then the cows are just free ranging and they're
just happy as can be and nursing up their little calves.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
Yeah. I mean, you know, if you go to our
website we do have our Facebook page, are you do,
we'll see some of the cows that are just they
just roam around in there.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
Yes, yes. And I watched my friend bron wins place
and they had cows all over the mountain. They're like,
they go up the hills, steep hills too, so kind
of makes me want to get because I got steep hills.

Speaker 3 (42:02):
And you know, they keep down everything pretty clean.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
I mean yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
So and if you look, that's he's actually showing some
of the beef cheeks from a cow, which I never
thought I would eat a beef cheek.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
I've never even thought you could eat a beef cheek.
I've heard of.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
Tongue, but yeah, it's the most amazing piece of meat
that you will eat. Yeah, it's really really good. You
know a lot of people do it as roast or
they will make it with pasta. I've seen that before
and it's actually really really good.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
Yeah, oh my gosh. Yeah, well you guys, I mean
this is it like, stop buying junk for Christmas. Get
some beef, Get some beef cheeks, beef brisket. I had
last night, brisket. I think I had brisket or shoulder,
that's what I had. I think beef. I can't see.
My screen is too small, but good writing, too nothing

(43:00):
compared to the rich, marbling, tenderness and flavor of a
farm raised Ribbi Lloyd Man.

Speaker 3 (43:08):
And you gotta think. I mean this mates from western
North Carolina, in the mountains of western North Carolina with.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
Like streams flowing like pure clean water. They're getting the
minerals they're getting, you know, they're just happy. They're in Japan.
The Japanese don't have that much space usually, but they're
singing to their cows and they're massaging them. You heard
about that. No, and there's it's like considered the best
beef because of like the kind of tenderness that the

(43:35):
farmer shows. Right, But it's Japan, so it's like very
compact this is land. I mean, you guys have how
many acres?

Speaker 3 (43:45):
Well the Francis says they have, well, they have over
four hundred head of cows. So and it's actually two
different farms, but there's they probably have close to two
hundred acres. I imagine. Wow. Say I do not see
them out there singing to their cows. I would not
see that, but I mean they do not in Japanese too,

(44:08):
non Japanese, but I have watched them, and they take
wonderful care of those cows. They love their cows. I mean,
you know, that's part of their family. That's how they
make money.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
So that's wonderful. So I'm just praising God for this.
And do you want to share anything about just your
life and how you decided to do this and just
so you can get to know you.

Speaker 3 (44:33):
So it's really funny. I actually was in the narry
field for a long long time and I worked for
a large animal vet and I actually didn't like cows
first off, because I figured they've seen my red hair
they'd be scared of me that or I would be
scared of them. And then I actually worked with a

(44:54):
cattle farmer in Haywood County for about three weeks just
to learn the process of how cattles work and watch them,
and I really started to love cows. They're actually pretty
I mean, they're pretty smart animals, and so I was like, well,
this is really cool, you know, and I got to
work with them with the large animal, and then I

(45:14):
went I grew up in the restaurant industry. My mom
used to on a restaurant, so for after I got
out of the vetinary field, I went into the restaurant
industry and watching from where our food comes from. I mean,
it's just a mass production, right, And I was like,
you know, I mean, you've got these local farmers that

(45:37):
are you know, has cows that you could actually get
them to use at your restaurant. It would be healthier.
I mean, I would you know, would hope that the
customer would appreciate pain just a little bit more for
those healthier cows, right, because most of the cows that
you get from these mass productions are in just huge
feed lots and you know, so sit there and thought

(46:01):
about it for a long time, and then I was like,
one of my good friends knew actually one of the farmers,
and she was like, well, why don't you just get
in touch with him and talk to him about, you know,
maybe using his beef, And so we did, okay, and
then it just grew into well, why don't we just
sell it? And so that's how it has come to be.

Speaker 2 (46:23):
Okay, Well, hallelujah. I think God is gonna bless this.
And as people find out about you guys, and we're
going to be promoting you as well with all of
our missionary adventures and things, lots of lots of collaborations,
lots of networks with people who want to just help people,

(46:44):
and of course bring the Word of God into everything
and just make it about that. Get off of that.
We don't jump on people. Dog, yes, didn't you read
in the Bible or it says dogs don't get to
come inside the New Jerusalem anyway, or pigs. So I
just you know, it's so exciting. It makes me. I

(47:06):
feel like my father in heaven is happy. When I
plant a seed in the ground and water it, like
I have an apple tree growing and I bit into
an apple and I saw the seed was actually sprouting.
Never seen that before, so I planted it and now
it's growing in my yard and it's like, this is
my apple tree. And I have this idea like someday
we'll just plant tons of apple trees across the deserts

(47:30):
of New Mexico and California where there's just nothing. It's dead,
dry desert. And then every once in a while you'll
see some guy's farm and he's irrigating it and it's lush.
You know, there's beautiful sunshine, so that trees are all happy.
So I hope more people get and inspired about farming.
And but if you don't have time to start a farm,

(47:52):
buy Heywood Premium Beef. Get in touch with Courtney Heywood
Premium Beef at gmail dot com, follow their Facebook, and
we're gonna work out something to where you can support
our broadcast when you buy this meat. I mean, I'm
never gonna eat meat from any other source for the
rest of my life if I can. This is is great.
My fridge is full and gonna make some some of

(48:15):
the ground beef next time. Just through go through the
list of what's like the most popular or easy to
just get it, cook it up, eat So I mean.

Speaker 3 (48:27):
Like really, any of our meats are easy. Oh, you know,
the ground beef is usually everybody's go to thing because
they can make hamburgers, they can make spaghettis. You know,
you can pretty much do anything with ground beef. You know,
we do have like New York strips, sirloin steaks, roast

(48:48):
you know, because in the winter time, roaster are big
things for people to do. You just throw it in
a crock pot and you know, leave it and come
back in the afternoon and it's ready.

Speaker 2 (48:59):
That's what I had last night.

Speaker 3 (49:01):
Delicious, So I mean. And then you know, we do
have like the exotic stuff, which is like tongues, which
I have not tried yet, but I mean it looks tasty.
Then you have oxtails, kidneys, livers. There there's some people

(49:22):
that do eat the livers because it says it's it's
healthier for them. There is a thing called ancestral blend
where they mix up like the kidney's livers and hearts
and it's supposed to be really rich for you to eat.
I've tried it once and it's actually not bad. It
doesn't tasty funky or anything like that. So yeah, there

(49:46):
is like and we also have other types of like
short ribs and briskets and that kind of stuff that
people like to do, Like they like to have barbecues
and that's what they like to use, and that kind
of stuff. Short ribs, A lot of peace people put
in crop pots because you can get them bone in
or bone.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
Out, and the bones are so good for.

Speaker 3 (50:06):
You to the bone broth. Yeah, the marrow bones. A
lot of people will do that. They will put those
bones in a cooker and just cook it down to
where they get that broth. And a lot of people
will drink it.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
Oh yeah, me too.

Speaker 3 (50:21):
I know the Chinese do that sometimes, yes, which is
a big deal. They say it's healthier and it makes
you feel better. I will tell you, like when I
eat our beef, I actually do feel better because there's
not a whole lot of products in it. It's just
pure beef.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
And it still lasts a really long time. I mean,
you're you're freezing it, so you're not like you're not
needing to use preservatives or any kind of chemicals at all.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
So the thing about it is for us to be
able to sell it, it is USDA inspected, so what
that means is when we drop our cows off of
the slaughterhouse, there is a USDA inspector from the time
we drop that cow off all the way until we
pick it up that stays with our cows and it
gets checked for everything.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (51:17):
So, and the reason that ours is frozen is because
for us to be able to sell it, the USDA says, hey,
you have to have it frozen.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
So we're like, okay, so you can only sell fresh
if it's got chemicals in it, according to the USDA.

Speaker 3 (51:33):
Well, the thing I mean ours is fresh. I mean
it's not like it's.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
Meant I made a quotes.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
Yeah, it's not really fresh.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
It's like full of chemicals and weird stuff that can
pick slime.

Speaker 3 (51:44):
Well, what people don't realize is a lot of the
things that you do get in the grocery store will
would be frozen because it comes from different places and
then it gets.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
On right, it's just thought out and just put out
there right now.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
Soon if somebody really wants us to thought what we
can for them, they say that we can, uh, but
we just have to you know, we have to have
that USDA inspection label to be able to send.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
It down the road, you'll probably the laws will change
or you have a different setup where you can just
have it like butchered and brought to the restaurant, local restaurant.
But we're talking. I mean, this is an audience that's worldwide.
So if you live in the States, we can send
it to you. So it's exciting we can we.

Speaker 3 (52:25):
Can send it to you. You know, our our meats
will have to be on dry eyes to be like
sending it to Oregon or you know those kind of
places like that.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
Okay, and you guys can provide that.

Speaker 3 (52:36):
Correct and you know it. There is specific ways we
have to ship it just due to it being meat
and that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
So gotcha.

Speaker 3 (52:47):
But hopefully one day we will actually have like our
own storefront where people can walk in and see our
meats and everything.

Speaker 2 (52:54):
Yeah, so that's that's why I cut. I just printed
a few little Facebook in that front window, just a
little you know, random kind of desperate attempt to just
start something. But I'd like to get bigger, Yeah, full
color prints. Yeah, I would yeah have that available and
put the prices and yeah. It's a revolution, revolution for health,

(53:15):
my friends, spiritual and physical. So man, I'm getting if
I wasn't already full from eating so much last night,
I would be like, I want more the ground beef
man burgers and.

Speaker 3 (53:28):
Well, and the thing about it is with our with
our meat. When you open up the package and then
this mott sound lot gross, but there is blood in
it because it's pure beef. Of course, a lot of
people are like, well, what is this. I'm like, well,
you know, you're that's what you get. You're getting pure beef.
It's not like you're going to the store and you

(53:48):
open up and there's just like a little droplets here
and there, but there. I mean, it is true.

Speaker 2 (53:53):
Cow, absolutely delicious, I'm telling you, guys. And I had
such a good sleep after that, and I was I
had so it was so much for the price. I
was like, what, no way, you can't be And I
had plenty to share with friends family, Like, guys, this
is this is life saving. You have no idea how
many poisons you put in your body. People drinking terrible

(54:15):
garbage and eating garbage. So be a part of this,
uh this operation, and get get some get some beef
and any other any other things you'd like to share,
Like you.

Speaker 3 (54:27):
Were just saying before, I mean if you do, like
you need to find a local farmer to buy from, yes,
and if you do, you just need to remember like
it is pure. It is pure beef, so there's no
additives and stuff, so you're actually you can use less
of your meat, you know, which is really interesting. Like

(54:47):
actually had a god that well, I had a guy
that said, you know, he bought five pounds because he
was doing this big dinner and he was like, because
he did this there every month, and he was like, man,
he was like, I cooked it and and there wasn't
a whole lot of grease and stuff that came off
of it, and I didn't lose a whole lot of meat.
So we had a whole bunch of leftovers because it

(55:07):
was so much.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
Really yeah, so when you buy a pound of steak
at a grocery store, a lot of it is like
extra stuff and fatly hillery.

Speaker 3 (55:17):
Most of it's like extra fat and that kind of stuff,
so it starts shrinking down, okay, But with ours, it's
you know, it's five or it usually is over five
pounds of meat. So like if you're cooking for your family,
you usually use let's say two pounds, you won't actually
have to use all that two pounds with your family
because there's just it's pure beef.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
That's good to know. And there it's possibly too, probably
because they're running around in the sunshine and they're like
marching up and down hills and they're not cooped up
getting all overweight and unhealthy.

Speaker 3 (55:51):
And right. I mean it's funny because like I've you know,
seen some of that been born on the farm and
you know, the farmers send pictures of them, you know,
growing up, and it's so cute just to see how
how much they've grown. Yeah, So there's one that was
born last year that I got to see, like just
born and now he's he's a pretty big guy now, okay,

(56:15):
because he just I mean he's on the farm living
his best life.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
So but that's so wonderful. Well, I'm so happy that
we got to do this, and thank you for your time.
I know you're very busy. You're managing all kinds of
different businesses and work and people, and so we just
appreciate you. And however you can navigate dealing with that
soldier man out there.

Speaker 3 (56:37):
Too, we appreciate wild man. If you guys have never
met Jody, he is somebody that you guys need to meet,
that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
Yeah. Yeah, we've recorded many of his Bible study podcasts
and we're going to do some more. Maybe he'll come
in studio today. I don't know, we'll see, but we'll
just keep this podcast separate so that you can have
