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

Burger Night Isn't Done Yet! 🍔 Fall Pop-Ups Oct 10 & 11

Well, apparently we aren't quite done yet!! 🎉 Our regular 2026 Burger Night season officially ended October 4th (THANK YOU for another GREAT year!), but Wisconsin has decided to give us a little more beautiful fall weather and who are we to argue?! So we're firing up the grills for TWO more days of burgers, drinks, bingo, live music and even HELICOPTER RIDES! And since we have absolutely no idea how many more nice weekends Wisconsin will give us, we suggest taking advantage of this one. 😁 Saturday, October 10th | 12-8pm We've got a pretty fun Saturday planned! 1pm: FREE Bingo! Come play a few rounds with us!2-6pm: HELICOPTER RIDES! 🚁 Yep, Ace Helicopters will be at the farm taking you up, up and away to see the gorgeous fall colors. 4-7pm: Open Mic with Caleb Horne! 🎶 Caleb will be hosting an afternoon of live music and open mic performances! Our first open mic ever! And of course, the kitchen and bar will be open from noon until 8pm, so come hungry and ready for an adventure! Come for lunch, stay for bingo, hop in a helicopter, sing a song, eat another burger....feels like this could be one of those Saturday's you remember forever. Sunday, October 11th | 12-7pm If you can't make Saturday, or you just want to come back again (we fully support this decision), Sunday is going to great too! 1pm: FREE Bingo! Another chance to play! $11k jackpot? That would make the winter season a little sunnier. 1/2 OFF select tap beers! 🍺 4-7pm: Live music with Corey Rae White! 🎶 A great way to spend a fall Sunday afternoon. Burgers, music, bingo and kegs that need your help....sounds like the makings for an epic Sunday Funday! Corey Rae White is an award-winning singer-songwriter and guitarist known for energetic, interactive shows packed with classic country, rock, blues, folk and more. With 30 years of professional experience, he brings great music, humor and plenty of crowd interaction to every show. Sounds like the perfect musician to put the exclamation point on the last minute of the last (?) day of the 2026 Burger Night season. 🤘 FARM STORE UPDATES First things first: we have new winter Farm Store hours! Winter Farm Store Hours:Mon-Wed: ClosedThurs-Sat: 12-6pSun: 12-5p And yes, the Farm Store will be open during both Burger Night pop-ups, so make sure you wander in while you're here because we've got a few things happening in there too. For starters, there's a brand new ice cream product HERE now that we think you're going to LOVE. We also already had to reorder some of the new Together Farms swag we just launched, so if you stopped in and the size you wanted was gone, definitely check again. We're working on getting those holes filled back in! And then there's Christmas. 🎄 We're not going FULL Christmas quite yet. We'll be decorating the Farm Store at the end of October, so stop by starting November 1 to see the transformation. BUT...we have way too much fun Christmas stuff to keep all of it hidden until then, so you'll see a little Christmas preview table in front of the Farm Store in the meantime. Consider it your opportunity to get a head start on what can be one of the most stressful parts of the holidays: figuring out what in the world to buy people. If you've got someone who's hard to shop for, keep Together Farms in mind. We've got meat, food, farm goods, fun gifts, Together Farms swag and all kinds of things you won't find everywhere else. And if the person you're shopping for doesn't live nearby, we can ship their gift directly to them for you, too. One less thing for you to figure out in December. You're welcome. 😁 So, is Burger Night still open for the season? Not exactly. We're officially in POP-UP MODE! That means when the weather cooperates and we can pull everything together, we may decide to fire up the grills again. Our regular Thursday-Sunday Burger Night schedule is officially finished for 2026. Maybe we'll get another weekend. Maybe this is it. It's Wisconsin in October. Your guess is as good as ours. And now that we're officially in pop-up mode, there's one thing you should do: 📱 DON'T MISS THE NEXT POP-UP Text BURGER NIGHT to 715-200-8333 to sign up for Burger Night texts. From here on out, pop-ups will depend on the weather and may come together pretty quickly. Texting is the best way to make sure you hear about them and don't miss out. In the meantime, we'd LOVE to see you this weekend! Come eat a burger, enjoy the farm, support some live music, maybe take a helicopter ride and soak up what's left of this beautiful Wisconsin fall. Because we all know what's coming next, and I'm not ready to talk about it. ❄️ Hope to see you on the farm! Steph (& the rest of the TF family) ❤ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Google review from Nick: "One of the best burgers around. You will not leave hungry. Large selection of drink. Staff, Wisconsin friendly, so top notch for the uninitiated. The backdrop of woods, pond and pasture of the northern driftless area is the icing in the cake. Can't wait to visit again."
