March 30, 2021

We could use some help getting the farm presentable for the summer! We'll feed you, quench your thirst and probably love on you a little.

Free camping if you help out too!

In 2020 we had to cancel our work party because of covid, hence the pictures of only our daughters, so they also remain hopeful we don't have to cancel again; and in 2019 we had a turnout that exceeded expectations! It's so heart-warming that people want to help.

So, whaddya think? Could you come help again?

It's not grueling work, here's what's currently on the list:

assembling more kid & adult picnic tables (msg us to see if you should bring tools)
clean out the kids play area & make any needed repairs
hang fans in the pavilion
raking (we have some but bring one please)
directional road signs out
paint the people moving wagon we use on farm tours
put in a second horseshoe pit
finish the trails
finish campsite marking & get them camper-ready
brush the dogs! The dogs miss seeing you too you know.
help make the farm store super cute
check for burnt out bulbs and fix up the strands of lights
put solar lanterns back out
stack wood for the fire pit & campsites
test run equipment, walkie talkies, the flow of things
stain/paint
assemble wooden adirondack chairs so they don't blow into the fire pit anymore
help clean and test bar equipment

See? All pretty easy stuff! We can work as fast or as slow as we want. Did I mention the free food and drink?!

We'll be starting by 9 am but we'll be work-partying all day so just pop-in whenever you can!

Rain (blizzard?) date will be the following weekend, Saturday April 17th.

2021 is going to be an amazing season, thanks so much for all of your support, as I tell you all the time, we couldn't do any of this without you.....we're all in this together!

How TF Ended Up Nominated in 13 Best Of Categories (Hint: It Was Not My Marketing Skills)

If you ever needed proof that word of mouth is still the most powerful marketing tool on earth, here it is! Together Farms was nominated in thirteen different Best of the Chippewa Valley categories! That is not a typo. Lucky number 13. Our biggest year yet! Best Organic FarmBest Family Entertainment BusinessBest Place to Buy MeatBest Food Event (Burger Nights at Together Farms)Best Restaurant for Gluten-Free DiningBest Restaurant for Outdoor DiningBest Special Event Venue Small (Under 100)Best French Fries (Non-Franchise)Best Fried Cheese/CurdsBest Restaurant AtmosphereBest BurgerBest Shop for Gifts (Together Farms farm store)Best Restaurant Worth the DriveBest Place to Impress Out-of-town Guests You might be asking yourself the same question that I asked myself when I saw the list. How in the world does a business that does not post consistently on social media, does not send the Sunday recipe emails like it promises (sorry!), and does not even text regularly keep growing? And how does it end up popping up in all these categories?? The answer is simple: You. Together Farms is on the map because you talk to people about us. You tell coworkers to come out for Burger Night. You drag friends here to see the farm. You tag us in your posts and stories. You create reels that make our place look as magical as it feels in person. You share our meat with your families (and really good friends).You tell people where to find 100% grassfed beef, pastured pork and a really good time. You continue to overlook all our faults. And when polls come around that help guide locals on where to go and what to do, you take a minute and click our name. So yeah, our marketing basically depends on you gossiping, but it is the wholesome kind. 😊 The Midwest kind. The kind that builds community instead of tearing anyone down. This is small town communication at its finest. As is being demonstrated in the photo. Being recognized in all these categories is humbling and exciting and maybe a touch confusing for me, but mostly it is a reminder that this place means something to you. It means enough that you talk about it when we are too busy or too tired or too overwhelmed to talk about it ourselves. That is not something we take lightly. But we haven't won yet! So if you have a moment and want to toss a vote our way in the categories you think we actually earned, here is the link (or when you are on the Best Of site do a search for Together Farms): https://bit.ly/TFBestOf26 Every vote helps more people find us all year long since the Best Of magazine and website are probably the most used and trusted resources for finding things to do, places to be and people to support around here. We could not be more grateful for the community that keeps this little farm growing. Love you lots! Steph & the TF Family
