BN Week 15: It's gonna Take Your Breath Away.

posted on

August 9, 2024

Hello from the farm!!

I know, it's too early to start counting down, but in less than 2 weeks school starts for us!

And, all the crazy weather in the first half means we have a lot of lost time we still need to make up. 

So I feel the need to let you know that there are only 8 official weeks of Burger Night left after this one. 

8!? 😲

And, who knows when w*!#er will start or what the weather will be like for the next 8!? weekends we have left or what in the world might happen between now and October (for real, the world right now 😬). But here's what I think we do know: 

  • the weather this weekend looks amazing. 
  • the store was just stocked with a ton of new products you are going to LOVE & must check out before the sell out.
  • we have amazing music Friday AND Saturday night
  • this week's burger special was LOVED last year
  • you aren't getting any younger
  • this is probably the "cheapest" the food and drinks are ever going to be.
  • all the big pull-tab winners are still up for grabs!
  • we just got a bunch of new drinks! 
  • you gotta make hay while the sun shines! 

Here's the other thing I know: over the winter I asked you guys what your favorite Burger of the Weeks were in 2023 and a bunch of you said the garlic burger, last year called Take My Breath Away.

Well, this must've been a very busy week last year because I never got a picture and I never explained all the toppings online. But, we found the sauce recipe and we think we remembered everything else, you'll have to let us know how close we are:

Burger of the Week: Never Enough πŸ§„

  • creamy garlic sauce
  • crispy garlic chips
  • roasted garlic spread
  • caramelized onions
  • 100% grassfed beef patty
  • toasted, buttery brioche bun

Do you laugh out loud when a recipe says "1 or 2 cloves of garlic"?
Have you never thought or said "whoa, that's too much garlic"?
Do you have a garlic scented candle?
Do you wish we had scratch-n-sniff email technology so you too could smell the heavenly roasted garlic pictured above?
Do you prefer to play it safe when it comes to vampire protection?
If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions then you need to try our Never Enough BOTW!!

Farm Store Sales

In the store we will have garlic cheese, garlic dips, garlic bread, sauces, seasonings (organic and local!), stickers, infused salts, rubs, meal kits, marinades, snack sticks and more! You can find some items online too. 

We also just got a TON of new products in: tea towels we love, BEAUTIFUL jewelry, more stickers (it's hard to stop), funny mugs (pet and horse lovers especially) and more! I highly, highly recommend doing a walk-through. 😍

Note that since we have 8?! weeks left we are likely not restocking some of the more Burger Night customer things and definitely not the seasonal things so once they sell, they might be gone for a long time.

LIVE MUSIC from The Woodland Spring, 5:30-8:30pm

The Woodland Spring is a high-energy acoustic band from Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Tim, Caleb and Dan come together to form tight vocal harmonies, intricate well-crafted original songs.

The band that introduced me to bluegrass - my absolute favorite music now! I went almost 40 years without really even hearing it. It's all I play at the Burger Night bar now and so many people thank me for playing a bluegrass channel. I'm not alone in this desire!! So why there isn't a mainstream bluegrass radio channel I'll never understand. Probably a conspiracy to make us sad so we buy more pharmaceuticals (I hope you're ready for round 1 of trivia tonight!! πŸ˜‰).

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

Updates

Well, I did the best I could to find you a ticketing option that avoided fees but all I did was make it impossible for you to get tickets at all (I swear that any success we have is despite me, not because of me), so, all tickets are in Eventbrite now, should be easy peesy! 

Easy tickets:

  1. Wine Dinner, Aug 14 (menu updated with wines!)
  2. Murder Mystery Party, Aug 21 (early bird pricing until Wednesday!)

TF Event Calendar

We would LOVE to see you on the farm soon! Too far away? We've been uploading lots of reels and we'll be working on lots more, you can watch them here (share, like, comment to help us for free!).

Have an awesome weekend!! 

Your farmer & friend, 

Stephanie Schneider

p.s. remember, time is elusive. Your mind could think 8 weeks is actually 2 years and suddenly the BN 2024 season is over. Somehow I think 10 years ago was 2001 AND that we've only lived on the farm for about 6 years now (moved here in 2009), so don't let it fool you too!!

Last Official Burger Night Weekend

Good morning from Together Farms!Well, the end is here. Seems a bit surreal this year.Perhaps because it's basically still summer-like outside? Maybe it's because it's finally stopped raining (although we have now swung a little too far in the other direction πŸ™„)? Perhaps because we had such a fun team this year that we do not want the end to come? They got you. Maybe we just don't want to stop seeing your smiling faces? Maybe it's because we have no more trees left to fall on anything? πŸ˜‚Hard to say for sure. All I know is that it's time and we are going to eek out every last bit of the 2024 season that we can!! As we have done every year, this week's BOTW is Dealer's Choice.  Burger of the Week: Dealer's Choice You've trusted the kitchen this long. (I mean, look at those faces.....how could you not trust them??)You will have the option to say spicy or not spicy. You can tell us if there are things you loathe but otherwise, you have to sit back and wait for the results.  A surprise burger! πŸ₯³ Farm Store Sales πŸ” Don't worry!!

Railroad conductors, heartbroken men & women after bar close and wild out-of-towners were all frequent riders who freely opened up about their personal lives. Their late night conversations were all inspirations to the genesis of his upcoming career as a songwriter and entertainer.Jeff has toured the lower 48 from coast to coast as well as England, Scotland and Wales, singing about the realities, illusions and the wide emotional spirit of love and life in America. Much in the vein of Johnny Cash, Jeff writes and sings his own songs but also performs unique interpretations of other songs he admires. He has 6 albums under his belt and one is with Charlie Parr & international folk music legend, Greg Brown. Americana/Alt-country from the hills of Western Wisconsin. Blending warm tones, reverbs, delays & vibrato with outlaw grit, Jeff White sings of love, loss & lust with an Americana vibe.We are so excited to have Jeff back on our stage!!
