Hello from TF!

Looks like we've got a gorgeous weather weekend which is perfect because we have an amazing line-up of farm fun so we hope you'll visit us (at least a few more times before the season ends....in 5 weeks)!

This weekend is looking a bit cool so throw those flannels in the car and make plans to join us by the fire! (Bonus points if you're the person the smoke is always attracted to. 😂)

Burger of the Week: A Burger Named Goat

A toasted ciabatta bun
100% grassfed beef patty
Creamy Goat cheese
Roasted Roma tomatoes
Garlic & fresh basil mayo
Drizzled with a balsamic reduction
Optional, but not optional: lettuce & red onion from the Burger Bar

Another fan favorite BOTW!

A Burger Named Goat....even if you don't love goat cheese but just tolerate it, you'll probably really love this burger. It's worth getting, even if only for the garlic & basil mayo. 😋
Bonus Fun: Feed a leftover fry to a Sheep Named Goat (the burgers namesake) before you leave.

Farm Store Sales 🐐

You'll find all goat products and all G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time) products on sale in the farm store and online this week, including ground beef, bacon, Onion-Leek brats, and more!!

LIVE MUSIC from Nick Hensley, 5-8pm

All three records have received rave reviews from different media outlets including Paste Magazine and AltCountry.com and a “best of” 2014 local selection of the City Pages.

UPDATES & REMINDERS

First, the bar is FULL of lots of great drinks! We're moving into fun fall-ish beers now and playing with some new seltzer flavors. 🍻

Now that we are post Labor Day, schedules do start to change a bit:

Friday music is not scheduled until we see how the weather looks.

Music Friday & Saturday starts earlier now, at 5pm.

Open Later!

The farm store will now be open until 6pm on Mondays and Tuesdays. Winter hours are still being decided, any thoughts? Hit reply!

Closing Earlier??

The "ish"s are back on Friday and Saturday night closing times since it gets dark early and can get very cold early. We may close at 8:30 if the weather and darkness lead us to believe no one else is coming, so 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. Just one more. :)

Closing, closing

Sunday, October 6th is our official last Burger Night of 2024.

We may do pop-ups on the weekends if the weather is nice, depends on how the pre-winter projects are moving along. Let us know if you want to help!

Hope to see you on the farm or online soon!!

Your farmer & flannel & fire-loving friend,

Stephanie Schneider

The GREAT news is that the weather is going to be cooperating with us ALL weekend (sounds like any rain that shows up Friday will be scattered and no big deal). So, in addition to celebrating the unofficial end of summer, I think we should also celebrate the end of this TERRIBLE summer weather. Goodbye. 🥵 Farewell. 🌧 Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya. 👋 Ugh, this was a tough weather year if you were an outdoor venue. But, it appears that things may be changing for the better now and we can end this season on a high note?! 🙏 Might I suggest we celebrate with some awesome burgers, great music, cold beer, crisp cider and tons of fun?! Whaddya say? To make the holiday weekend even better, we've extended our Sunday hours and added live music!! 👇 Hope you can join us!

(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 28th Trivia at 6:30pm: Mixed Bag Lucky SevenThey Call Me DannyPicture: Tom Cruise MoviesAudio: Song includes a ProfessionOne-Word TV ShowsAlso a Bible Book Remember, we give prizes to 1st place, 2nd place and Last place!

We had Dusty earlier this summer for the first time and people LOVED his genre of music, which, upon reflection, I guess is pretty rare with most of the musicians we have since they tend to be on the younger side of things. So if you prefer to hear not pop, not modern music (maybe next week we'll talk about the definition of "music"), and just have a gay old time, come down Sunday! (I just had a birthday so now that I'm older I get to talk about "kids these days", "what even is music now" and use old-timey definitions of words while singing the theme song to The Flintstones in my head...you better hurry to Burger Night before I start yelling for everyone to Get Off My Lawn! 😂.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saturday, September 13, 2-4p 🌿 Plant Walk at Together Farms with Temperance Herbals Come explore the farm with herbalist Amanda Talford of Temperance Herbals and discover the incredible plant allies growing all around us.

Only 5 more weeks after this one so don't delay because you never know what the weather might do for the rest of them. Bill left us an updated ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Google Review There is a special place in my heart for Together Farms. Been coming here since the beginning and what this wonderful family has built here is nothing short of an oasis. Incredible burgers and food with top notch ingredients, a selection of grass fed meats that would make any chef salivate, walking trails, animals, a top notch beer selection (with good ciders as well, my wife likes), games, trivia, music, the list goes on... If I didn't live a thousand miles away, I'd be here all the time. If you live in Eau Clair or thr Chippewa Falls area, visiting is a must. Love this place
