Good morning from Together Farms!

Wow, so after a pretty tough weather year it looks like we are going to end strong!! How awesome is that?!?

I sure hope you can join us this weekend or next weekend to enjoy a little fall sunshine (both weekends are looking really great right now, but, as us seasoned Wisconsin weather-watchers know, that can all change in 5 minutes).

If you saw yesterday's email you already know the Burger of the Week and why we are doing it, so just a 2 second recap: It's Italian week, the farm is in Naples township in Mondovi (both Italian cities), Naples could be where wood-fired pizzas started, so gotta do a pizza burger.

Burger of the Week: The Jimmy Pesto 🍕❤🍔

Fresh-from-the-herb-spiral basil
Smoked provolone cheese
Smashed Italian sausage patty
Pepperoni
Roasted garlic marinara sauce
100% grassfed beef patty
toasted with garlic butter brioche bun

We do not have a picture of this burger yet and it's so named not because it contains any pesto but because my girls watch Bob's Burgers waaaaaaaaay too much. zoom!

People last night were LOVING this burger!!

Get the best of both worlds this weekend!
Pizza + Burger = ❤❤

🍻 Currently on tap:
Spotted Cow (New Glarus)
Cowbell Cream Ale (Bloomer Brewing)
Blackberry and once that's gone, Cranberry Lemonade Beer (Sand Creek)
Downtown Brown (Pearl Street)
Fluffhead (Zymurgy)
Gunpowder (The Brewing Projekt)
Honeycrisp Hard Cider (Maiden Rock Cidery)
Minnesconsin (Hop & Barrel)
Mudpuppy Porter (Central Waters)
Oktoberfest (Lazy Monk)
Warped Speed (Lake Louie)

Nobody took me up on the stein holding competition in yesterday's email, so LAST CALL: should we do a stein holding competition on Saturday, Oct 5th to celebrate Oktoberfest (goes until the 6th in Germany)? (could be the start of doing an oktoberfest thing here every year....just sayin...this is how those things start....)
Free to play, winner gets a TF beer mug and $50 in a bar tab good through 2025....what say ye?? 🍺🍺🍺

LIVE MUSIC from Brian Bethke, 5-8pm

Brian Bethke is an American singer-songwriter known for his silky-smooth voice and lasting impact on the hearts of his fans and listeners. Bethke has release 8 album released with the help of Promotion Music Records & Broken Wrist Records throughout the years. Bethke' s health related battle with Ankylosing Spondylitis has limited his live performances availability so it is a real treat when you're able to see him perform live.

Brian enjoys creating AI images and I think the reason why is because if you look too long at this picture your head will start to hurt and music on a farm in real life, will be the only solution to take the pain away. Kudos Brian, kudos.

Sunday, September 29

Family Day! Buy one get one FREE kids meals all day!

UPDATES & REMINDERS

Sunday, October 6th is our official last Burger Night of 2024. We may do pop-ups if the unpredictable weather cooperates and we have no idea what 2025 might bring so plan accordingly!!

The "ish"s are back on Friday and Saturday night closing times since it gets dark early and can get very cold early. If you are coming after 8pm, call or text to make sure the kitchen will be ready for you!

The bar and fire keep going until everyone's had enough though. So no hurry there. :)

Remember a flannel!

Your farmer & friend,

Stephanie Schneider

Corny Week 15: New BOTW 🌽 Peak Summer Corn-tent at the farm!

Burger Night is open, rain or shineThursday & Friday 4pm-9pm Saturday noon-9pm Sunday noon-7pm Happy FryYay! farm friends! It's Week 15 of the 2025 Burger Night season and we've officially hit peak corn-tent. 😄 We've got a corny burger, more cornhole, a corn sale and puns for days. (don't you just love it here?!). But, you must really get serious about planning accordingly (accorndingly?) because there are ONLY 8 WEEKS LEFT!! Aw shucks, you really butter our corn, did you know that?!? Look what we were just given! On top of the four free TVs you guys brought us for trivia and bingo - now this amazing set of Brewers corn hole.....we have such an incredible community! 🥰 I'm already getting so sad that winter is coming....we're in single digits now folks. 😭 ---------------------------------------------- Brand new Burger of the Week! I was pretty busy with Taylor Swift Trivia so I haven't gotten a picture of the BOTW yet, but our every-Thursday-nighters (shout-out to Nikki, Jordan and Aaron! 👋) did! The feedback was allll positive on this one - people loved it!! And I hope you do too: 🌽 Mission A-corn-plished - Roasted sweet corn salsa - Cojita cheese - Chipotle ranch - Arugula - 100% grassfed beef patty - Toasted brioche bun because what's corn without butter?? It’s creamy, corny, slightly sweet, slightly bitter, definitely savory, seasoned with just the right amount of salt and dressed with just a touch of spice to keep your taste buds fully engaged for the entire journey through this burger - a real ear-resistible summer bite. This week’s burger is a-maize-ing 🌽 The grill’s hot, the storms are brewing, and the corn is poppin’! See you on the farm for some corny fun!! 📷: Thanks Nikki! (She comes to Burger Night every week - we should all strive to be as cool as her.)(Note that we have about 15 other main meal options on the menu, not just whatever the BOTW special is; you can see the menus on the website.)---------------------------------- Thursday, Aug 14th (NEXT week) Taylor Swift trivia was last night and I spend waaaaaay too much time working on these games and so I'm sorry I didn't get the email out sooner but it was a great time for a lot of VERY SPECIFIC people. The great news about next week's trivia is that it's MIXED BAG which means anyone can play and it's a super fun time. Pro-tip: the teams that tend to do the best (usually but not always) are those with multi-generational teams. So looking for something for grandma and little Timmy to bond over - TF trivia. Looking for something to do on an otherwise uneventful Thursday night - TF trivia. Want to win some absolutely FREE amazing(ly small) prizes from the phenomenal prize table - come to TF trivia! (or bingo!) Want to make sure your ego (or your husband's*???) is kept in check? Come to TF trivia!! (*be careful with this one - there is the potential for this to backfire if he happens to be awesome at whatever categories we are doing that night but if you come to EVERY TF Mixed Bag trivia it's likely going to even out. Marriage counseling is available by request.....if you don't care about the quality or long-term outcomes of said counseling.) Trivia at 7pm: Mixed Bag Yes, it's Mixed Bag but I do know the topics: Famous ShipsFlower PowerPicture round: Dr Seuss BooksAudio round: Songs with Prominent DrumsDesperately Seeking Susan"Life" Songsand more!! Remember, we give prizes to 1st place, 2nd place and Last place! So bring your friends and let's have some Thursday night fun. Grab your friends and play trivia with us at 7pm Thursdays! --------------------------------------------- Friday, Aug 8th LIVE MUSIC from Taylor Peterson, 6-9pm Taylor Peterson is a Northern Minnesota singer-songwriter with a voice as soulful as her story.

We haven't done this one since 2020 and we've revamped it significantly....most notably, we've added a little hat. :) And, our oldest daughter Mady has been working at Chipotle for a few years now so if the crema and pico remind you of anything from there, that's probably why.
