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 ā€œfly by nightā€ 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 šŸÆ
  • 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!

ā€œCelebrateā€ 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

ā€œReinventing the Art of Live Acoustic Performanceā€

How TF Ended Up Nominated in 13 Best Of Categories (Hint: It Was Not My Marketing Skills)

If you ever needed proof that word of mouth is still the most powerful marketing tool on earth, here it is!  Together Farms was nominated in thirteen different Best of the Chippewa Valley categories! That is not a typo. Lucky number 13. Our biggest year yet!  Best Organic FarmBest Family Entertainment BusinessBest Place to Buy MeatBest Food Event (Burger Nights at Together Farms)Best Restaurant for Gluten-Free DiningBest Restaurant for Outdoor DiningBest Special Event Venue Small (Under 100)Best French Fries (Non-Franchise)Best Fried Cheese/CurdsBest Restaurant AtmosphereBest BurgerBest Shop for Gifts (Together Farms farm store)Best Restaurant Worth the DriveBest Place to Impress Out-of-town Guests You might be asking yourself the same question that I asked myself when I saw the list. How in the world does a business that does not post consistently on social media, does not send the Sunday recipe emails like it promises (sorry!), and does not even text regularly keep growing? And how does it end up popping up in all these categories?? The answer is simple: You. Together Farms is on the map because you talk to people about us. You tell coworkers to come out for Burger Night. You drag friends here to see the farm. You tag us in your posts and stories. You create reels that make our place look as magical as it feels in person. You share our meat with your families (and really good friends).You tell people where to find 100% grassfed beef, pastured pork and a really good time. You continue to overlook all our faults.  And when polls come around that help guide locals on where to go and what to do, you take a minute and click our name. So yeah, our marketing basically depends on you gossiping, but it is the wholesome kind. 😊 The Midwest kind. The kind that builds community instead of tearing anyone down. This is small town communication at its finest. As is being demonstrated in the photo.  Being recognized in all these categories is humbling and exciting and maybe a touch confusing for me, but mostly it is a reminder that this place means something to you.  It means enough that you talk about it when we are too busy or too tired or too overwhelmed to talk about it ourselves. That is not something we take lightly. But we haven't won yet!  So if you have a moment and want to toss a vote our way in the categories you think we actually earned, here is the link (or when you are on the Best Of site do a search for Together Farms): https://bit.ly/TFBestOf26 Every vote helps more people find us all year long since the Best Of magazine and website are probably the most used and trusted resources for finding things to do, places to be and people to support around here. We could not be more grateful for the community that keeps this little farm growing. Love you lots!  Steph & the TF Family
