Are you a new customer to grassfed, locally sourced meat? Having an issue with sticker shock? It is no secret that clean meat is more expensive than what you may be accustom to. That is where it becomes helpful to know your farmer (that's ME!) because we can help!

OUR TIPS FOR SAVING MONEY WHEN BUYING CLEAN MEAT

Together Farms offers a few ways to save money when buying our "no weird stuff" meat because we know that when you by cut by cut from us it can quickly add up. Instead, use some of these alternative ways to save yourself some money!

Buy In Bulk

Buying in bulk saves you money over purchasing by the individual cut and allows you to customize your cuts (i.e. pick thickness, how many items are in a package, etc.). If you are serious about eating healthy, clean, "no weird stuff" meat on a regular basis this is a great way to go.
Visit our Bulk Page to see our tips and tricks to get the most out of your bulk purchase.

Purchase A Bundle

Our bundles allow you to get a perfect variety of cuts without committing to an entire quarter of an animal. If you are on a budget with limited freezer space but want to test buying in bulk on a smaller scale this is the way to go. It also eliminates all the options that come with Buying in Bulk (if that is something that intimidates you).

Get Our Meat Membership Card

Available in $200 and $500 values, the Together Farms Meat Membership Cards will save you 10% to 15% off on your orders of regularly-priced items.
How It Works: Say you purchase our $200 Meat Membership Card, you will receive $200 worth of meat but will only pay $180 for it (equaling a 10% discount).You can use as much or as little of the $200 as you'd like during your transaction as you'd like. Every time you purchase meat we will deduct it from your Membership Card balance (which I track for you) and notify you of your remaining balance for future orders. Think of it as a pre-paid debit card.

Buy Ground Beef By the Case

Looking only for ground meat? We recommend buying it by the case to secure the best possible price per pound.
You can purchase Ground Beef and/or Ground Pork by the case.

Refer Your Friends

Once you sign-up for a Together Farms' Farm Store account, you can share your referral link with your friends to get FREE money to use in the farm store.
Simply copy your referral link and send it to all your friends telling them how great our products are.
Every time a new Farm Store customer uses your referral link for the first time they get $5 to use and you get $10!

CONVENIENCE IS AN ADDED BONUS

Burger Night Week 10 (of 23)

Burger Night is open, rain or shineThursday & Friday 4pm-9pmSaturday noon-9pmSunday noon-7pm Welcome to Week 10 of the Burger Night season! We will be open all our regular hours this holiday weekend (listed above), and open rain or shine or whatever other weather woes may try to slow us down. Because of all the animals (cows are up by the barn this weekend!) we will not have any literal fireworks, only punny and metaphorical ones you can eat. [weird, I wonder what she means by that.] BOOM! Your Burger of the Week, 🎆The Firecracker 2.0🎆: 🌶 Deep-fried jalapeno slices for an explosion 💥 of crunch and spice that will pop! and pow! in your mouth. 🔥 A fireworks-like burst of color with the obligatory smoke show: fire-roasted, farm-made charred-pepper salsa (roasted bell peppers, tomatoes, roasted jalapenos, roasted poblanos, garlic, onion, cilantro, lime) 🧀 Pepperjack cheese for a sparkling delight of spicy and creamy 🐮 100% grassfed beef patty which is always DYN-O-MITE! 🥛 drizzle of buttermilk ranch and a 🍔 toasted brioche bun to hold it all together like a patriotic fire marshal supervising a 3-fingered pyrotechnician with an unlimited budget. You won't be able to stop yourself from saying "Oooooooohhh" and "Aaaaaah" after every bites bursts of flavors. 🎇 Not into fireworks in your mouth? No worries, we've got 15+ other options on our regular menu. Let's light this fuse, shall we?? 🧨 [oh, that's what she meant. 🙄] Sorry, I didn't get a picture of this same burger we did last year, so you'll have to imagine with me again. ------------------------------------------------ Thursday, July 3 Tonight's trivia is the crazy-famous Seinfeld TV show! 📺Trivia at 7pm: Seinfeld Remember, we give prizes to 1st place, 2nd place and Last place! So bring your friends and let's have some Thursday night fun. Seinfeld trivia at 7p tonight! (Next week is The Office!)------------------------------------------------ Friday, July 4th 🎆 LIVE MUSIC from Payton Eilers, 5:30-8:30pmBefore the fireworks hit the sky, get ready for a musical spark you won’t forget - Payton Eilers is taking the stage! Performing since the age of 10, this rising star has been turning heads across the region with a voice that’s as captivating as it is unforgettable. Guided by a musical family and inspired mentors, Payton’s passion shines in every performance. Her setlist? A perfect soundtrack for Independence Day: the indie spirit of the Lumineers, the grit of Shinedown, the timeless cool of Fleetwood Mac and Tom Petty, the sparkle of Kacey Musgraves, and a few of her own heartfelt originals. Now working toward her debut album, Payton pours everything she’s got into her music, and it shows! Don’t Miss Payton Eilers this July 4th! She's got a voice that will light up more than just the sky! :)------------------------------------------------ Saturday, July 5 LIVE MUSIC from Tommy Wotruba 5:30-8:30pm A solo acoustic powerhouse, Troubadour Tommy wields his six-string guitar like a storyteller’s paintbrush; mixing rock grit, blues soul, country warmth, and heartfelt originals. He’s been lighting up stages across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and beyond for years and now he’s heading to the farm for one unforgettable evening! Expect a dynamic set: deeply felt original tunes, crowd-pleasing covers, and that raw, intimate vibe only a true troubadour can deliver. Tommy Wotruba is the kind of performer who makes you stop mid-bite and say “Whoa. Who is THAT?” With just a six-string and his voice, he delivers the kind of soul-stirring, toe-tapping set that makes summer in the Midwest feel like magic (no matter what the weather might be doing). ------------------------------------------------ Sunday, July 6 1/2 off kids meals all day (note that this ends at the end of July).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! ✨ Let's giveaway some prizes! Every Sunday at 3p, we play 9 games and give out either a huge fancy prize (like 1,000s of $$s) or a practical and modest gift with every round! ------------------------------------------------ Farm Store Updates Ice Cream Update: ✔ Equipment ✔ Health inspection ✔ Demand ✔ Ice cream 🍨 ❌ Electricity I'm not ready to talk about it yet so please imagine the rest of this as me nervously looking around and whispering because the equipment that needs to be moved outside to make sure the farm store doesn't get too hot is still not moved out and because of that we are not totally sure we'll be able to keep the ice cream nice and frozen every day this weekend but we DO have it! And we will (probably) be scooping ice cream at least one day this weekend! Which day? 🤷‍♀️ Will we know what we are doing? 🤷‍♀️ Will you be happy with the flavors I chose? 🤷‍♀️ Will you still love it so much! 🤩 We should be full-steam ahead next week though, at which point I'll tell you about it. 😉 July BOTM has grilling on it's mind and you won't want to miss this chicken and the Beer Can Chicken recipe! Chicken was raised specially for us by our FFA-neighbor girl Sam (who is also best friend to our youngest daughter Adeyle) and we just added two different beer can chicken holders to the store to help you enjoy summer midwest-style: sticking beer up a chickens butt and then putting it on the grill. 'Merica. Seriously, though, I am LOVING this cast iron stand that you can fill with beer but you can also fill it with any liquid and any aromatics of your choice! Plus, it's cast-iron so you don't have to worry about it being tippy or toxic.------------------------------------------------ Another one of our on-tap breweries is closing (first Bloomer Brewing and now Hop & Barrel) so I feel like we need to do a perspective reset because all of us ALWAYS get so bogged down in the day-to-day chaos (it's apparently unlimited) and repetitiveness, especially after 7 years of it, that we forget that this is a pretty special & unique thing we're doing here. ✨ Why Burger Night Is the Best Thing Happening This Weekend (and Every Weekend Until October): 🍔 One-of-a-kind experience: We’re the only Burger Farm in the Midwest where you can eat your burger right where it was born & raised with the farmers cooking it for you and even serving you a beer to go with it! 🐄 See the cows up close: They’re grazing around the barns this weekend; yes, actual cows just doing their thing while you enjoy doing yours. LOTS OF BRAND NEW BABY CALVES!!! 😍🎶 Free live outdoor music: Nothing beats kicking back with a burger and drink while local talent plays under the open sky. Sure, you can buy tickets to some fest to see performers with better marketing (more talented is up for debate) but why not use that money to buy a burger & a beer instead?? 🌱 Feel good about what you’re supporting: This isn’t just a meal - it’s a movement. Your dinner helps heal the soil, nourish your body, and lift up your community.🌦️ Weather being a little dramatic? It's Wisconsin, what else is new? Bring an umbrella, wear a sundress or shorts, pack a snowsuit in the car, grab a friend, and let's make the most of it. We’re already at week 10 of 23 for the 2025 season, and as always, we’re taking this thing year by year because doing this every weekend for half the year does require a lot of sacrifice on our end. So let's soak it in while we can… because this is the kind of summer memory you’ll want more of. Love you lots! 💚 Steph ------------------------------------------------ No dogs, carry-ins or reservations (please let us know about groups though). $10 min on cards, ATM on-site. 📍 w93 Norden Rd, Mondovi, WI 54755 See the menus and learn more: togetherfarms.com/burger-night Don't take my word for it, check out the google reviews to see what others think, here's an example from Luke: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good burger and pulled pork, excellent selection of beer.
