BN Week 16: Layers of fun & food & family & friends

August 15, 2024
Hello from Together Farms!
It's Onion Week!! 🧅
Time to peel back all the layers of awesomeness going on this weekend. Or is it o-wesomeness?
Like Julia Child is quoted as saying in the new book pictured below:
It is hard to imagine a civilization without onions; in one form or another their flavor blends into almost everything in the meal except the dessert.
But first, a fun announcement that is going to make winter a lot more interesting:
We can now sell bottles of wine in the farm store!!! 🍷
We just received our first delivery from Danzinger Vineyards and we'll keep adding other local wines and favorites based on your suggestions (remember, I don't leave this place very often so I'm not always aware of everything going on out there in the big not-TF world).
And since we're talking about the farm store, we just got in a few other things we think you are going to LOVE and restocked some of your favorites!
Avocado Asks is SUCH a fun book, you gotta open it when you're here. And HOLY COW the dough bowl candle is probably my new favorite candle (all the other candles were just restocked too!).
Okay, but we're supposed to talk about the farm store on Tuesdays, and my phone (not my mind) tells me it's Thursday, so let's peel that layer off and get back to Burger Night:
We are only doing a few brand new, first timer ever, Burgers of the Week this year and this week is one of them!
Remember, we aren't chefs, we had ZERO restaurant or public cooking experience prior to Burger Night so we really are just making things up as we go based on what's available.
Sometimes things work out and sometimes they don't, we're hoping this is one of those that comes back every year, see what you think:
Burger of the Week: The Big O 🧅
- from-scratch French Onion sauce (like the chip dip, but better)
- onion rings made from thick-cut Sweet Spanish onions
- caramelized onions
- 100% grassfed beef patty
- toasted onion Kaiser bun
- optional: pickled onions from the Burger Bar
Phew! That's a lot of layers of onion-y outstanding-ness.
Brand new Burger of the Week so the only picture I can get you right now is of the diced onions being caramelized for the French Onion sauce.
Watch Facebook and Instagram for pictures when all comes together! Or, better yet, just come take your own picture of what will surely be an Outstandingly delicious & Original BOTW, if you're observant it should be pretty obvious.
Basically, you can tell us what the "O" in The Big O BOTW stands for.
Farm Store Sales
Ope, back to the store again where we will have alllllll the onion-y goodness on sale!!
Including our #1 best-selling Onion & Leek brats!

Trivia at 7pm: The Golden Girls 👵
Our always incorrect weather forecast says it's supposed to rain tonight, but we've thought that a few times now with trivia and it turned out to be a nice day and multiple teams showed up. So I'm going to be prepared for it and if you show up, we'll do it!

LIVE MUSIC from Ready SETH Go, 6-9pm
Seth Gamble is a musician based out of the Chippewa Valley. Performing under the name Ready SETH Go, he uses his gift for gab and a little humor to create an entertaining environment performing creative takes on popular songs.
We LOVE Seth!! Looks like it might rain (if you can believe the weather forecast 🤥) but we will be full-steam ahead if it's just rain - so come on out & enjoy what will likely be no wait.

LIVE MUSIC from John Gay, 5:30-8:30pm
Singer-Songwriter, John Gay’s, gritty contemplative sound ripened in prison while he served a nine-year sentence for marijuana that started in 2011. After his release in 2017 John started performing his solo acoustic set at various venues around Wisconsin playing original music he wrote in prison along with covers of his favorite artists such as Jason Isbell, The Lumineers, Chris Stapleton, and Zach Williams.
I know I say this a lot, twice in this post as a matter of fact, but we love John too! (Just like the Burgers of the Week, the musicians everybody like, come back, while some just kind of fade away.)

Family Day! Buy one get one FREE kids meals all day!
Other Updates
Weather pro-tip: check the radar - it might be beautiful here, even if it is raining by you. Storms are usually pretty localized - especially any red/crazy spots.
And even if it is raining here, we have our pavilion! Plus, you might get to enjoy a rainbow! And if you're really lucky, you might see one that appears to never really end. 🧐
Last night was our only Wine Dinner of 2024 and it was so fun! We'd love to do more dinners next year - if you know any willing chefs, send them our way!
Hope to see you on the farm soon!!
Your farmer & friend,
Stephanie Schneider
