We’re celebrating Pollinator Week at Burger Night! Pollinators like bees, birds and butterflies create healthy ecosystems for wildlife as well as improve the soil where our food grows.

In the US alone, pollinators help produce almost $20 billion worth of products every year (but I think we can all agree their work is priceless).

Keep in mind that not all pollinators are overtly beautiful. For example:

Ants pollinate peonies
Wasps pollinate figs
Beetles pollinate magnolias &
Mosquitoes pollinate orchids!

(We also welcome our bat friends, another unusual pollinator, and swallow friends to keep those mosquitos at bay!)

We’re all about creating welcoming spaces for our pollinator friends whether they “fly by night” or spread their beautiful wings by day or here at our diverse regenerative farm.

Our strength lies in diversity (nutrient-dense meat and resilient farms are created this way)...

AND the same is true with our little community, which is why we are so happy to support our fellow farmers and local producers!

In addition to all our winged friends mentioned above, look at who and what else will "bee" at Together Farms this weekend:

Burger of the Week: The Beez Kneez

100% grassfed, hand pattied beef patty
pear, honey & ginger compote from Quince & Apple
melted brie
ginger-infused Kaiserson honey drizzle 🍯
Applewood smoked, no-weird-stuff bacon
a toasted brioche bun to hold all that sweet & salty deliciousness together

This Burger of the Week is the Beez Kneez! (Also, anyone else need a metaphorical brioche bun in their life 🤣)

Thursday, June 20 - Summer Solstice!

“Celebrate” the longest day of the year with 20% off the Beez Kneez burger

(I don’t celebrate this day because I LOVE the long days and I know what this day means: darkness is coming… along with some other things that shall not be named.)

Trivia, 7-8pm: Banned Books, Movie Car Chases, SNL Actors, Rock Ballads, TV Theme Songs & Cocktails

A super fun game with a bunch of themes inside one game! Includes a picture round, audio round, and more! Bring your friends!

Honey Tasting with Drew of Kaiserson Bee Company, 5-8pm

Kaiserson specializes in small-batch, single-origin honeys from the Chippewa Valley. By taking small harvests frequently throughout the season and jarring them by location, they can highlight a place and time as told by floral nectars.

Last season they harvested 30 unique batches from 12 locations both in the city of Eau Claire and the surrounding countryside.

Join them to taste a small selection of their harvests and be a part of a discussion on the importance of pollinators in our world.

LIVE MUSIC from Glen Everhart, 6-9pm
