Burger Night is open, rain or shine
Thursday & Friday 4pm-9pm
Saturday noon-9pm
Sunday noon-7pm
The Farm Store is open the same hours AND Monday & Tuesday 10am-2pm

It's week 11 which means we are halfway through the 2024 Burger Night season! Crazy!

So if you haven't gotten here enough (or at all!? 🤨) this is your official notification that it's time to start worrying and making arrangements.

You know who finds a way EVERY WEEK? Jordan and Nikki!

Every. Single. Week. They are here - from 30+ minutes away too! And often with friends.

Last year, they missed one week so then they had our staff deliver burgers to their fridge for when they got back home.

That's dedication. How do you honor supporters like that?! A plaque? A t-shirt? A free drink?

I know! Let them decide the Burger of the Week!

So this winter I asked them what their favorite burger would be and told them no matter what they came up with, we'd do it.

[Then I nervously awaited their response and hoped that they had not seen my April Fools menu from a few years ago....which still cracks me up btw.]

Behold.....

Burger of the Week: Get Jikki Wid It

They decided on a cubano-style burger! (Phew....where would I even get ground bald eagle from?!)

100% grassfed, hand-pattied beef patty
Slices of no-weird-stuff-ham
Swiss cheese
Dijonnaise
Pickles
On a brioche bun
and then all pressed together

We made a cubano-style BOTW way back in 2019 and now we're going to try it again all because Jordan & Nikki asked us to! [Hi Miley! 👋]

Feeling a little jealous because you'd like to decide the Burger of the Week? You know what you've gotta do!

Pick a day, any day:

Trivia from 7 to 8pm: Taylor Swift 🤩
To be clear, Taylor herself will not be here (I had a few people ask....I do appreciate that you think so highly of us though!). Even without her here, I have a feeling this trivia is a going to a dang good time. There is even an audio round and you've still got plenty of time to refresh yourself on lyrics and find those Swiftie friends of yours!

But then Taylor can just move her little self on over because Ryan and Tom are coming!!

Ryan is a multi-instrumental performer; he will be on keys AND guitar and is going to play/sing you some tunes! You are going to love this! Expect to hear songs by Jackson Browne, Eagles, Elton John, Bruce Hornsby, John Mayer, Ed Sheehan, Hunter Hayes, Journey, Frank Sinatra, Michael Bible, Jacob Collier, and a ton more! Ryan also performed the music in an Award-Winning Environmental Documentary called "Decoding the Driftless," and this film WON many big awards, including Best Picture and Best Cinematography at the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival.

Pretty rare we have a musician that tickles the ivories!

LIVE MUSIC from Tom Hipps, 5:30-8:30pm
Are you ready for some covers and original folk/rock songs, 60's-70's-80's blues to classic country and everything in between? Then Tom Hipps is the guy!
Tom has released 3 solo albums: 2002's Everybody & Their Brother; 2006's Then Went the Demons, and 2015's Christmas Peace, as well as several singles. His music has hit radio stations for airplay all over the world and is available through most major online music retailers such as CD Baby, iTunes, Amazon, Best Buy and more!

Tom knows how to make you forget about your problems for an hour or two so if you could use a little of that in your life - don't miss him!

Off the Hook Fish Sale is LIVE! 🐟

Our 1st Annual Off the Hook Fish Sale is LIVE and it really is Off the Hook!! ⚓It was exactly one year ago today that we announced a new partnership with Bering Bounty and let you know we had finally found some of the best food on the planet: Wild Alaskan fish.plus it's Lentplus a few of us just realized that we've been through 2 false springs already meaning real spring is pert near here and it's time to hurry up and lose some of that winter weight by eating clean high-protein and low fat (halibut).(Although a few others have decided this is the year the sweaters-in-summer fashion look sticks and we're eating all the Sablefish we want.)plus it's time to start getting really serious about Burger Night again so my ability to manage and run big sales like this will end 3/31 and then we'll all be waiting a long while before any more big sales come up. So: Anniversary + Lent + Weight Loss (or Maintenance 😂) + Burger Night is coming (56 days!) = OFF THE HOOK FISH SALE!! We will definitely plan on doing this every March but one thing with the state of Alaska is they are very strict with their quotas in order to ensure sustainability so we never know how much fish Captain Mark will be able to reel in - some of these cuts may not always be available but we are super stoked that right now they all are!!Salmon Lovers Bundle - savings of 27% plus a BONUS 5% + FREE item if you're a subscriber! Includes: King, Sockeye, Coho + Pink Salmon all wild-caught and never-farmed from Alaska's Bering Sea.We have a lot of new people here so we'll do a quick re-introduction.Because I'm constantly keeping an eye out for the best products I can find for you guys I serendipitously stumbled upon Bering Bounty last winter and was soooo excited! I had been looking for a source of good Alaskan fish FOR YEARS but it was either crazy expensive, mostly unavailable or a logistical nightmare. But the coolest thing is that Captain Mark is a Wisconsin-ite with his own small fishing operation (so a ma & pa, like us!).He harvests wild salmon, halibut, and other fish in Alaska’s Bering Sea, which are immediately processed, vacuum-sealed and flash-frozen there and then brought back to his home state so we can all enjoy some of the world's best and cleanest protein!We are his most northern location so we drive to southern WI every other month or so to do our own re-stocking for you guys. Captain Mark & his pet Octopus (not really) battling Alaska's Bering Sea "the cradle of storms" to bring us the healthiest, cleanest and tastiest protein in the world! 🌎(and yes, even better than our 100% grassfed/finished organically raised beef since the best beef still can't beat the Omegas and other nutrients in Salmon and Sablefish.)What's included in the sale In an effort to live up to the name, we have some pretty off the hook deals ranging from a minimum of 10% off to almost 40% off! 😲 Subscribers (free to join, easy to leave) will even get a BONUS 5% off plus a FREE item for life so really it's 15 to nearly 45% off!! No pressure, I often don't make the best decisions with my (+ Andy's 😉) money so I get it (note those percentages listed above 😂) but if you like good fish at all, NOW is the BEST time to stock up and save! Available raw fish portions from Bering Bounty: King Salmon portionsSockeye Salmon portionsCoho Salmon portionsPink Salmon portionsCod portionsHalibut portionsSablefish portions Like with the beef sale we think the star of the show is going to be the Sampler Bundle and we have 3 sizes to choose from: 1 of each fish (7 portions)2 of each fish4 of each fish: ships for free/reduced, the largest savings of all the deals at 38% off (before subscription savings are added) ✨In addition to the Sampler Bundles we also have the Salmon Lovers Bundle pictured above and a White Fish Lovers bundle which includes: 4 Cod2 Sablefish2 HalibutSave 30%!We even have a Buy 3, Get 1 FREE option for: CodCohoSablefishKing Salmon CaviarMix and Match all your different favorites to get free/reduced shipping and stock your freezer! Not only do we have Bering Bounty to bring us the best raw fish, but I also found Alaska Smokehouse so we also have a source of smoked fish!And, guess what? Smoked fish doesn't need refrigeration or special shipping so we even have a few bundles and a lot of products that can be shipped anywhere!! Right now we only ship our frozen meats throughout the Midwest but smoked & tinned fish doesn't need any special shipping so we even have a few non-perishable bundles, spices, cookbooks and pet treats in our Off the Hook Fish Sale that can be shipped anywhere!For more info on how to do a work-around if our online store tells you we can't deliver to you, see this article. Sorry for the extra step, it's the best our software can offer at the moment and once it's set up, it's super easy! But, wait. There's more! In addition to the raw fish and smoked fish we included a few more products in our Off the Hook Fish Sale: ButterSalt SeasoningsCookbooksDog & Cat Treats Obviously butter, salt and seasonings need to be included, what fun is fish without those??We are so happy to have also partnered with Nordic Creamery and we LOVE their butters. We just added their Pepper Butter (won the Gold last year 🥇) to our line-up, we'll see how it performs compared to our current best-seller, their Garlic Butter (won the silver last year 🥈). May as well try them all while they are on sale! Salt & seasonings....I mean salt is my favorite so we'll always have fun options there but check out some of our seasonings and sauces if you are ready to experiment and have some fun with all your fish! Scared that you are going to screw it up because you don't really know how to cook fish? 😬We've got cookbooks! And, as usual, we'll include some of our free recipe cards too or check out the fish-specific page on our website for cooking tips (Captain Mark prefers to cook straight from the freezer!) or our Recipe Page. We aren't the only ones that love fish - dogs and cats do too! 😺So we included some fun fishy treats for dogs & cats too, starting at just $2.70 - there's no reason to leave out our best friends! 🐶 We even have fishy-treats for our 4-legged friends!! (Lots more to choose from in the farm store if you can come visit!)I hope you’re as excited about our 1st Annual Off the Hook Fish Sale as I am!If you have any hesitation or questions, simply hit reply and ask away!Your farmer & a-fish-ionado friend, Stephanie Schneider
