The Farm Store is open the same hours AND Monday & Tuesday 10am-2pm

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

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!
