July 18, 2024

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??

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

Corny Week 15: New BOTW 🌽 Peak Summer Corn-tent at the farm!

Burger Night is open, rain or shineThursday & Friday 4pm-9pm Saturday noon-9pm Sunday noon-7pm Happy FryYay! farm friends! It's Week 15 of the 2025 Burger Night season and we've officially hit peak corn-tent. 😄 We've got a corny burger, more cornhole, a corn sale and puns for days. (don't you just love it here?!). But, you must really get serious about planning accordingly (accorndingly?) because there are ONLY 8 WEEKS LEFT!! Aw shucks, you really butter our corn, did you know that?!? Look what we were just given! On top of the four free TVs you guys brought us for trivia and bingo - now this amazing set of Brewers corn hole.....we have such an incredible community! 🥰 I'm already getting so sad that winter is coming....we're in single digits now folks. 😭 ---------------------------------------------- Brand new Burger of the Week! I was pretty busy with Taylor Swift Trivia so I haven't gotten a picture of the BOTW yet, but our every-Thursday-nighters (shout-out to Nikki, Jordan and Aaron! 👋) did! The feedback was allll positive on this one - people loved it!! And I hope you do too: 🌽 Mission A-corn-plished - Roasted sweet corn salsa - Cojita cheese - Chipotle ranch - Arugula - 100% grassfed beef patty - Toasted brioche bun because what's corn without butter?? It’s creamy, corny, slightly sweet, slightly bitter, definitely savory, seasoned with just the right amount of salt and dressed with just a touch of spice to keep your taste buds fully engaged for the entire journey through this burger - a real ear-resistible summer bite. This week’s burger is a-maize-ing 🌽 The grill’s hot, the storms are brewing, and the corn is poppin’! See you on the farm for some corny fun!! 📷: Thanks Nikki! (She comes to Burger Night every week - we should all strive to be as cool as her.)(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 14th (NEXT week) Taylor Swift trivia was last night and I spend waaaaaay too much time working on these games and so I'm sorry I didn't get the email out sooner but it was a great time for a lot of VERY SPECIFIC people. The great news about next week's trivia is that it's MIXED BAG which means anyone can play and it's a super fun time. Pro-tip: the teams that tend to do the best (usually but not always) are those with multi-generational teams. So looking for something for grandma and little Timmy to bond over - TF trivia. Looking for something to do on an otherwise uneventful Thursday night - TF trivia. Want to win some absolutely FREE amazing(ly small) prizes from the phenomenal prize table - come to TF trivia! (or bingo!) Want to make sure your ego (or your husband's*???) is kept in check? Come to TF trivia!! (*be careful with this one - there is the potential for this to backfire if he happens to be awesome at whatever categories we are doing that night but if you come to EVERY TF Mixed Bag trivia it's likely going to even out. Marriage counseling is available by request.....if you don't care about the quality or long-term outcomes of said counseling.) Trivia at 7pm: Mixed Bag Yes, it's Mixed Bag but I do know the topics: Famous ShipsFlower PowerPicture round: Dr Seuss BooksAudio round: Songs with Prominent DrumsDesperately Seeking Susan"Life" Songsand more!! Remember, we give prizes to 1st place, 2nd place and Last place! So bring your friends and let's have some Thursday night fun.

(Next weekend is looking rainy again.) We've got another fantastic Burger of the Week. We haven't done this one since 2020 and we've revamped it significantly....most notably, we've added a little hat. :) And, our oldest daughter Mady has been working at Chipotle for a few years now so if the crema and pico remind you of anything from there, that's probably why. Cow in a Sombrero 2.0 🐄🌵 ✅ 100% grassfed beef patty ✅ Melty pepperjack cheese ✅ Cool, zesty cilantro-lime crema ✅ A scoop of our farm-made pico de gallo ✅ A generous slather of refried bean spread ✅ Crispy deep-fried corn tostada ✅ Topped with that golden toasted bun sombrero-style It’s crunchy, creamy, juicy, cheesy, and a little bit ridiculous (in the best way). It's hard to get a picture with that big brim in the way.------------------------------------------------ Saturday, July 19th LIVE MUSIC from Jack Willems 5:30-8:30pm Meet Jack Willems: a young, high-energy country artist who's turning heads across Northern Wisconsin.

Jack’s shows are full of fun, heart, and crowd sing-alongs, don’t miss your chance to catch this rising star live and help support his journey! Jack Willems: young, high-energy, and recently viral on TikTok. Think acoustic classics, country vibes, and tons of fun.------------------------------------------------ Sunday, July 20th 1/2 off kids meals all day (note that this deal will be ending soon because we're replacing it with something even better!).3 - 5:30pm: Free Xtreme Bingo for the folks over 21 (deluxe prizes pictured below) and free Kids Bingo for the folks under 21! ✨ Remember, you can't win if you don't play! ✨ FARM FUN!
