It's a beautiful day to SMILE.
In Loving Memory of Valerie Lynn Coones (Hallock) ❤️
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of someone very special to our Pure Country family, Valerie "Val" Coones.
For those who had the pleasure of knowing Val, you know she was truly one of a kind. Val spent several years with us, working as a secretary in our farm office, but her presence went far beyond answering phones, handling paperwork, and keeping things organized. She brought something to our workplace that simply cannot be taught—a genuine love for people, a vibrant personality, and a smile that could brighten even the busiest of days.
Val also held an especially meaningful place within our Pure Country family as the mother of our very own Melissa Coones Klingeman. Her connection to our farm wasn't simply through the work she did—it was through the family ties, friendships, and memories that will forever be woven into the story of Pure Country.
To Randy (husband), Melissa (daughter), Ashley (daughter), and her grandchildren Nate and Rowdy, please know that your Pure Country family is holding you close in our hearts during this difficult time.
Val, thank you for the smiles, the laughter, the kindness, and the love you shared so freely at Pure Country. Thank you for being part of our story.
The farm office may no longer hear your cheerful hello, but the warmth you brought through those doors will never be forgotten.
Rest peacefully, sweet Val. ❤️
With love and heartfelt sympathy,
Your Pure Country Family

Pure Country UPDATE 10/09/2026
Website Update – A Little Progress, A Lot of Patience, and Some Exciting Things Ahead!
Hi Farm Friends! ❤️🐷🐮🐔
Well, my friends, if only I had a background in e-commerce and website development, I think this next chapter of our website journey might have gone a little more smoothly! But as with most things in life, there has been a learning curve, a few unexpected bumps in the road, and a whole lot of patience required!
But I have some good news to share!
Our website is officially back up and running with a fresh new look and feel! While the online ordering portion is still a work in progress, there is so much more to explore!
You'll find more information about our family farm, our processing facility, and a little sneak peek at what's happening with our NEW Pure Country Farm Store!
Speaking of the new store, we're making progress and are now anticipating an opening sometime between late October and early November! Believe me, nobody is more excited (or impatient!) than I am to get those doors open!
I keep reminding myself that *patience is the key to success*—although some days I think I could use a little extra patience delivered by the truckload! 😂
🛒 Let's Talk About Ordering!
You can browse our products ON our Products Catalog page since online checkout is not quite ready yet.
To place an order, please continue to email us at:
onlineorders@purecountry.us
Be sure to leave your name, phone number, whether your order is for PICK UP or SHIPPING and if for shipped- leave the address.
I will get your orders packed and ready as quickly as I possibly can!
❤️ A Heartfelt Thank You!
I also want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your kind words, encouragement, well wishes, and gracious understanding as I've been navigating this website redesign.
Those few weeks of battling a eyes issue, when I could barely look at a computer screen for more than 15 minutes at a time, really set me back. But little by little, things are coming together!
Sometimes I have to remind myself that helping run a family business isn't always about how quickly you get things done. It's about putting your heart and soul into what you do and making sure it's done right.
And that's exactly what I'm trying to do!
🌻 I Would LOVE Your Help With Something Fun!
As I continue building out our website, I would really love to include more of YOU—our amazing Farm Friends- our family!
Please⭐ Share Your Pure Country Experience with me!
Have you purchased from us and absolutely loved something? Do you have a favorite product, a special experience, or a few kind words you'd like to share?
I would LOVE to feature customer testimonials on our website.
And to make it a little more fun, every testimonial submitted between NOW and the end of OCTOBER will be entered into a drawing for something fun and yummy from Pure Country!
Now I'd love to call out to 🍳 All Our Farm Friend Cooks!**
Do you have a family-favorite recipe using Pure Country meats? Maybe it's Grandma's famous meatloaf, your secret BBQ rib recipe, or a weeknight dinner your family requests over and over again!
I would love to create a special page on our website featuring Farm Friends' Favorite Recipes!
Send me your favorite recipes along with photos of your delicious creations, and I'll be featuring some of them on our website! SUBMIT these by October 31st to be entered into our Recipe drawing! You could be a lucky winner of a HOLIDAY HAM. The more recipes with photos of Pure Country products used the more entries you will receive!
I think it would be so much fun to share a little bit of everyone's kitchen creativity with our Pure Country family!
📦 One Package at a Time, Packed With Love!
Last but certainly not least, THANK YOU for continuing to keep me so busy with your orders!
Here's a little reminder for those who may not know:
Every online order is now personally packed by yours truly—me, myself, and I until the new store location is done and Kenzie has been fully trained. 😂
That means every box is put together with a whole lot of care, attention, and appreciation. One order, one box, and one package of meat at a time!
It may take me a little longer than a big fulfillment warehouse, but I promise there is a whole lot of heart behind every box that leaves our facility.
You all are truly amazing, and I am so incredibly grateful for the support you continue to show our family farm and small business.
If you have questions, suggestions, testimonials, or recipes, please don't hesitate to reach out. I genuinely love hearing from you!
Thank you for growing with us, being patient with us, and continuing to be part of our Pure Country family.
More exciting things are coming, my friends! ❤️
Blessings,
Laura
