Meet The Farm Pups!

posted on

September 4, 2019

If you've joined us for Burger Nights here on the farm then you've probably wondered how many dogs we actually have and what their names/breeds are! One of our most asked questions is what breed is Mr. Fluffypants (the big black and white dog)? Well we wanted to introduce you to our four dogs so you can call them by name the next time you visit the farm! Each dog has their own unique personality, which you will find out if you come meet them in person!The number 1 question I get is what breed is Mister Fluffypants? Mister looks smaller than he really is in this picture, but when he jumps on my shoulders he's taller than me. Mister is half Great Pyrenees (Miley is his mom), 1/4 Great Dane and 1/4 Newfoundland...possibly the best dog combination in the whole wide world!! Mister can usually be found following me around, but will also become your best friend during Burger Night if you've got food in front of you! Miley (Mister's mom), the Great Pyrenees, is all work. I will never not have a Great Pyrenees - fiercely loyal (once they attach to you, which we most definitely have btw, but it wasn't always that way), completely independent (they truly believe they can protect you better than you can protect yourself so good luck trying to get them to do something they consider "incorrect" for your, or their, wellbeing), trustworthy and, of course, full of love. There's a funny story why she isn't in with the sheep anymore - ask and I will tell. Immy the Red Heeler, is the one that will jump all over you when you get out of your car and then probably jump in your car before you have even figured out what is going on...because you are probably looking at Mister Fluffypants and wondering what kind of dog he is. She absolutely loves tormenting the big dogs, once she's done with you, and is super happy to chase, er, herd?, anything that needs it...or doesn't!!! Sorry chickens and kitties. She's still a puppy so we thought it might be a phase but that's not the feedback we are receiving from others with heelers. Probably best if you don't ever wear white out to the farm. :) Last, and kind of least, is Winnie the Weiner Dog. Someone, who shall remain nameless, won't allow the big dogs in the house, Immy never stops running and the girls no longer need me to hold them 24/7 so we got Winnie! She's just perfect. Best yet, when she's all snuggly on my lap I have the perfect excuse as to why I can NOT get up and do all the things...."but look at how happy Winnie is..."

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
