"Happy" last BN Saturday!

This post was delayed until the last minute because I thought maybe, just maybe, we could eek out one more Burger Night next weekend since our plans have changed and the chopper had to be postponed and blah blah blah but, alas, tomorrow will be the last Burger Night. 😭

But this is only the seasonal end to Burger Night, keep reading for more goings ons.....

Saturday, Oct 18th

Open 12–8pm | Bingo 1–3pm | Free BYOH Helicopter Rides | Live Music 4–7pm

The Ace Helicopter is grounded for maintenance this weekend so we're now doing Bring Your Own Helicopter (BYOH) helicopter rides! That's right, just bring yours out and take all the FREE rides you want! 😂

Yes, yes I am using humor to try to squelch the sadness. But the good news is that we will do this eventually, we just would rather you live to eat another burger.

More good news: The leaves are pert near perfect. You are going to love them so much from the ground, you won't even care about needing to see them from above....it would probably be too much beauty to even take all in at once so phew. Probably a good thing we're postponing right?

One last bingo!

Bingo was a new thing this year and I was really unsure how it was going to go but it's been SO FUN! Unfortunately, winter doesn't care and it's still coming, so at 1pm we will be having our LAST bingo fun for 2025. 😭 I hope you'll join us! But if you can't make it - thank you for making bingo a great time!

My only area marked "needs improvement" for bingo is your card picking skills - please work on that over the winter so we can shower all of you with 1000's of dollars next year! Other than that, you were all perfect and I'll miss you so much! 🤩

Reminder that while we are starting with the full food menu, we will likely not be ending Saturday with a full menu so come early if your heart is set on anything in particular.

Also, bring your beer mugs because there's tap beer left and it's half price. 🍺

🎵 We've got a brand-new music performer joining us for the very first time: Derek Westholm, 4-7p

Derek is a homegrown musical performer and songwriter out of the humble town of Colfax WI. He picked up a guitar in his first year of college and hasn’t put it down since. Bringing to life acoustic versions of crowd favorites in a wide variety of genres; like rock, country, alt rock, pop, and many others! Vocals and charisma, he’ll charm the audience at any event. His crowd work, and virtuosic guitar stylings make him a stand-out act for any event or performance venue.

Derek Westholm is performing on the TF stage for the first time ever Saturday - come on out and support him while you drink some half priced beers and eat one more burger!

Let's Celebrate!

This Saturday the 18th, Andy and I will be celebrating our 21st year of marriage! If you want our secrets - you'll have to come out and ask! ❤

And then, if you can explain to me how time works - I'd love to know! 😵

Putting the "together" in Together Farms. 21 years married this Saturday!

Goodnight, Burger Night. 😴🍔

You know how we do our spring work parties? Well, we have people ask if they can help in the fall too so we're trying it!

I'm kind of thinking this will actually be a little more fun too - we'll just have whatever leftovers there are from Saturday and we won't have an opening deadline to worry about like in the spring - but there's still kind of a lot to do so we'd love the help if you're offering it!

We even have a new toy to play with: a hot water pressure washer! Should make quick work of getting the tables sparkling! ✨

Otherwise, pretty simple things like taking the bar apart, putting the tables and chairs up on the band stage, painting the kids picnic tables, pulling the timers, etc. You can see more here.

Note: We might have a staining party the following weekend since the overnight temps are looking good - let me know if you're interested!

Tucking the farm in for the winter is never something I want to do 😭 so if you'd like to help, we'd love the company!

What's Ahead

Well, I started therapy last week and she wants to see me right away again this week - this can only mean some pretty spectacular newsletters are coming your way this winter. 😂 We'll go through Burger Night ending depression together.

So stay tuned for that fun! I have been making so many great recipes and the recipe for the half side of King salmon in the Bundle of the Month is to die for, so the recipe emails will be firing back up VERY SOON!+

Lots of Love!

Steph & the TF family

David left us a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Google Review

We are having so much fun. The burger last night was delicious. We have stayed on the farm through Harvest Host and have a great spot. We have not run out of things to do yet on this beautiful property, and we have a 4 year old grandchild with us to occupy. Thank you Together Farms!!!

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
