Hello from Together Farms!

Thank God it's week 12! Week 11 tried to kill us! 💀 It literally did kill our power...a lot! but I think all our equipment has finally been fixed and everything is working as it should!

We even went on an employee outing Monday night to recover and cool our cores back down and we were successful in our mission (except no one beat Andy at bowling, so he's still the reigning champ 🏆).

So now we're rolling into week 12 grateful for all the incredibly patient customers that showed up, for all the emergency repairmen both on and off-farm, all the helpful neighbors who ran to our aid, and for the weather that has calmed tf down. (see what I did there? 😄)

In fact, the weather almost seems like it's apologizing this week for all it's bad behavior this year! It's not even humid!

[quick checks forecast to make sure nothing's changed.]

Yep. The weather forecast still looks amazing for this weekend!!

I sure hope that's true wherever you are too and that you're able to get out and enjoy it!

If you are open to suggestions on what to do, then might I suggest some fun & food on the farm??

Trivia at 7pm: Family Feud style

If you want to play trivia with us (what else can you do on a Thursday that's free AND you might win things?!) but don't want to feel like an idiot when it's all said and done (some of the people at last week's T Swift trivia can attest to this) then Family Feud night is when you want to be here!

Reminders & What's Coming

This nice weather and surviving a ridiculous amount of chaos thus far has reinvigorated my on-farm event planning optimism (is this some kind of weird coping mechanism? 😂) but I don't want to distract you from making your plans for Burger Night so I'll just say this:

The Mushroom Foray early bird pricing ends Saturday so grab tickets now, unless you hate saving money.
Cancel your plans on Wed, August 21st, 6-8pm and watch for an announcement email!! While waiting, see if you can find your old walkman.

So while CountryJam sounds great on paper, rumor has it, they STILL do not have ANY JAM! No Jam! You know who has jam? That's right. We do. Both kinds. Plus free parking & no tickets needed. In case this last week also brought chaos into your life and you could use some guidance on how to cope (answer: getting outside for some fun on the farm at Burger Night).

Hope to see you on the farm!

Your farmer & friend,

Steph

How to Change Your Location on Our Website

How to Change Your Shopping Location on Our Website Our website uses “locations” to make sure you see the right shopping options for how you want to receive your order. Changing your location can affect what you see in the store (for example, we do not ship eggs), what delivery or pickup options appear at checkout and the dates that are available. When you might need to change your location You normally ship, but this time you want to pickup from the farm. You usually do local delivery, but you want to grab your order at an event or market. You are ordering for a friend or family member in a different area. You are not seeing the delivery or pickup option you expected. How to change your location Step 1: Sign in or create an accountIf you are being told that we do not deliver to your area yet, click "Enter a different zip code" and use the farm's zip code (54755). Choose any of the listed delivery options but "Pick-up at Together Farms" is great. Step 2: Once you are signed in, go to any page of the website and click the [CHANGE] button in the orange bar toward the top of the screen.If you scroll all the way to the top of the page, it's usually near the top 1/3 middle of the screen. It can be easy to miss though, so we've circled it in red below: Step 3: Click Change A location box will pop up. Step 4: Enter your zip code again Yes, even if you already entered it before. That’s normal. Step 5: Select the new location you want Choose the pickup, delivery or shipping option that matches what you need. If you are still having any trouble, you can always click "try a different postal code" at the bottom and use the farm zip code: 54755. Once you select your new option, the store will refresh and you will be shopping that location. What might look different after you switch This is normal, not a glitch: Some items may disappear or show as unavailable Delivery or pickup dates may change Your cart may update if something in it is not available for that location Locations help us keep things accurate so you are not ordering something we cannot fulfill for that route or pickup point. If you do not want to mess with it If you are an existing customer and you do not feel like fighting the Change button, you can do this instead: At checkout, use Order Comments and tell us where you want your order to go, for example: “Please switch this order to farm pickup - see you next Friday!” “Please bring this to the event pickup.” “Please switch my account to shipping from now on.” We will happily take care of it for you! Out of the area? Right now we do NOT ship our meat nationwide, but exceptions can be made if you're willing to potentially share in some of the air shipping costs. For a custom quote, please include the following: Receiving address (we can not ship meat to PO boxes)Estimated total pounds (minimum 10lbs for mass to help with thermal stability during shipping)Specific items you are interested in. Email that info to steph@togetherfarms.com and I'll get back to you asap. We DO ship non-meat products nationwide though so long as no temperatures need to be maintained with the products (note that some items like tallow lotions may not be able to be shipped in the summer to hot parts of the country), you'll just have to choose "Farm Pickup" for your location but leave a note to ship. For full step-by-step directions go here. Thanks so much!
