Our 1st Annual Off the Hook Fish Sale is LIVE and it really is Off the Hook!! ⚓

It was exactly one year ago today that we announced a new partnership with Bering Bounty and let you know we had finally found some of the best food on the planet: Wild Alaskan fish.

plus it's Lent

plus a few of us just realized that we've been through 2 false springs already meaning real spring is pert near here and it's time to hurry up and lose some of that winter weight by eating clean high-protein and low fat (halibut).

(Although a few others have decided this is the year the sweaters-in-summer fashion look sticks and we're eating all the Sablefish we want.)

plus it's time to start getting really serious about Burger Night again so my ability to manage and run big sales like this will end 3/31 and then we'll all be waiting a long while before any more big sales come up.

So: Anniversary + Lent + Weight Loss (or Maintenance 😂) + Burger Night is coming (56 days!) = OFF THE HOOK FISH SALE!!

We will definitely plan on doing this every March but one thing with the state of Alaska is they are very strict with their quotas in order to ensure sustainability so we never know how much fish Captain Mark will be able to reel in - some of these cuts may not always be available but we are super stoked that right now they all are!!

Salmon Lovers Bundle - savings of 27% plus a BONUS 5% + FREE item if you're a subscriber! Includes: King, Sockeye, Coho + Pink Salmon all wild-caught and never-farmed from Alaska's Bering Sea.

We have a lot of new people here so we'll do a quick re-introduction.

Because I'm constantly keeping an eye out for the best products I can find for you guys I serendipitously stumbled upon Bering Bounty last winter and was soooo excited!

I had been looking for a source of good Alaskan fish FOR YEARS but it was either crazy expensive, mostly unavailable or a logistical nightmare.

But the coolest thing is that Captain Mark is a Wisconsin-ite with his own small fishing operation (so a ma & pa, like us!).

He harvests wild salmon, halibut, and other fish in Alaska’s Bering Sea, which are immediately processed, vacuum-sealed and flash-frozen there and then brought back to his home state so we can all enjoy some of the world's best and cleanest protein!

We are his most northern location so we drive to southern WI every other month or so to do our own re-stocking for you guys.

Captain Mark & his pet Octopus (not really) battling Alaska's Bering Sea "the cradle of storms" to bring us the healthiest, cleanest and tastiest protein in the world! 🌎
(and yes, even better than our 100% grassfed/finished organically raised beef since the best beef still can't beat the Omegas and other nutrients in Salmon and Sablefish.)

What's included in the sale

In an effort to live up to the name, we have some pretty off the hook deals ranging from a minimum of 10% off to almost 40% off! 😲

Subscribers (free to join, easy to leave) will even get a BONUS 5% off plus a FREE item for life so really it's 15 to nearly 45% off!!

No pressure, I often don't make the best decisions with my (+ Andy's 😉) money so I get it (note those percentages listed above 😂) but if you like good fish at all, NOW is the BEST time to stock up and save!

Available raw fish portions from Bering Bounty:

King Salmon portions
Sockeye Salmon portions
Coho Salmon portions
Pink Salmon portions
Cod portions
Halibut portions
Sablefish portions

Like with the beef sale we think the star of the show is going to be the Sampler Bundle and we have 3 sizes to choose from:

1 of each fish (7 portions)
2 of each fish
4 of each fish: ships for free/reduced, the largest savings of all the deals at 38% off (before subscription savings are added) ✨

In addition to the Sampler Bundles we also have the Salmon Lovers Bundle pictured above and a White Fish Lovers bundle which includes:

4 Cod
2 Sablefish
2 Halibut
Save 30%!

We even have a Buy 3, Get 1 FREE option for:

Cod
Coho
Sablefish
King Salmon Caviar

Mix and Match all your different favorites to get free/reduced shipping and stock your freezer!

Not only do we have Bering Bounty to bring us the best raw fish, but I also found Alaska Smokehouse so we also have a source of smoked fish!

And, guess what?

Smoked fish doesn't need refrigeration or special shipping so we even have a few bundles and a lot of products that can be shipped anywhere!!

Right now we only ship our frozen meats throughout the Midwest but smoked & tinned fish doesn't need any special shipping so we even have a few non-perishable bundles, spices, cookbooks and pet treats in our Off the Hook Fish Sale that can be shipped anywhere!

For more info on how to do a work-around if our online store tells you we can't deliver to you, see this article. Sorry for the extra step, it's the best our software can offer at the moment and once it's set up, it's super easy!

But, wait. There's more!

In addition to the raw fish and smoked fish we included a few more products in our Off the Hook Fish Sale:

Butter
Salt
Seasonings
Cookbooks
Dog & Cat Treats

Obviously butter, salt and seasonings need to be included, what fun is fish without those??

We are so happy to have also partnered with Nordic Creamery and we LOVE their butters. We just added their Pepper Butter (won the Gold last year 🥇) to our line-up, we'll see how it performs compared to our current best-seller, their Garlic Butter (won the silver last year 🥈). May as well try them all while they are on sale!

Salt & seasonings....I mean salt is my favorite so we'll always have fun options there but check out some of our seasonings and sauces if you are ready to experiment and have some fun with all your fish!

Scared that you are going to screw it up because you don't really know how to cook fish? 😬

We've got cookbooks!

And, as usual, we'll include some of our free recipe cards too or check out the fish-specific page on our website for cooking tips (Captain Mark prefers to cook straight from the freezer!) or our Recipe Page.

We aren't the only ones that love fish - dogs and cats do too! 😺

So we included some fun fishy treats for dogs & cats too, starting at just $2.70 - there's no reason to leave out our best friends! 🐶

We even have fishy-treats for our 4-legged friends!! (Lots more to choose from in the farm store if you can come visit!)

I hope you’re as excited about our 1st Annual Off the Hook Fish Sale as I am!

If you have any hesitation or questions, simply hit reply and ask away!

Your farmer & a-fish-ionado friend,
Stephanie Schneider

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.
