TF's convenience items to help you find TIME for the things you love ❤

posted on

January 30, 2022

It's week #4 of our 4 week January series to start 2022 off healthy and it's time to talk about convenience! 

Last week we talked about money and I could hear some of you yelling at me with your minds that money isn't the problem, time is. 

If we want to change our habits, like the way we eat, we have to be able to incorporate it into our lifestyle.

Today I want to show you the time savers we have available to you and that we've put on sale to help you feel confident in trying some new things (or stocking up if you already know).

But first, I have to mention this quote that really slapped me in the face the first time I heard it a few years ago.

This might sound pretty dumb to some of you, but did you know you have a choice?

If I looked at your financials right now and watched you for a week to see where your time was being spent - what conclusions would I come to?

It's a little bit of a scary thing to reflect on (the unexamined life isn't worth living concept comes to mind) but if you've never done this, it might be a worthwhile exercise to audit your thoughts vs. your actions: 

Are the things you tell yourself you value, the things that get your time and money?

Again, might sound dumb to some but 15 years ago I would not have realized that house payments and car payments are optional. 

In our system it can be easy to mindlessly go with the flow and let life just happen to you and that's what we did for a long time.

Andy worked hard while I got the degrees and a job in my field of study (bonus points!), we bought a house, had 2.2 children and we were on our way to living happily every after (right 🙄) until we realized that we actually had some say in what we were spending our time and money on so now I am proud to say that we have a hot wire instead of a white picket fence. #lifegoals ha!

I know you are above average but just for comparison's sake, the average American spends their "leisure" time like this:

Please don't feel guilty if you aren't where you want to be (I'm not!). I'm just asking if you've thought about it (is 3 hours watching programming what you want??) and if you've created ways to get to where you are spending your oh-so-precious time on the things that you value the most.

One thing I value is love and love requires time to be spent building those relationships and I have found that food and eating together is one way to nurture love. Spending time writing these emails to you is another way I show love. 😍

Of course, I also value health (can't do much lovin' when you're 6 ft under!) and so what a perfect thing Together Farm's offers: health-promoting food for you or to share with those love! 

This did not all come together by accident but by making conscience choices to move toward what we value with the resources available. 

The farm's bank account and employee time clocks would show that we very much value YOUR time and creating convenience for you: 

  • We have the online website to make shopping easy
  • We provide delivery to your door to make getting it easy
  • We keep investing to grow more so we can keep the store stocked for you. Ground beef and bacon....I know, I know, see below for product updates....
  • We work really hard to communicate with you enough, but not too much.
  • Heck, in the summer we even cook for you! :) 

So to help you make eating well the easy choice, we've put our "convenience" items on sale for you to try - you can curate your own little bundle o' convenience this week:

Most convenient of all for mealtime are our ready-to-cook Meals, unfortunately, inventory is very low, but we will be restocked in about a week, watch for next week's newsletter update. Since those are mostly gone, we put our eCookbooks on sale so you can make the meals yourself.

And thus concludes January 2022 - hopefully Together Farm's was able to help you crush your goals and now incorporate them into your life as healthy habits. If not - what can we do? 

Yes! Save me time & deliver Good Food to my door!

Wishing you health & happiness!

Steph

(Next weekend is looking rainy again.)  We've got another fantastic Burger of the Week. We haven't done this one since 2020 and we've revamped it significantly....most notably, we've added a little hat. :)  And, our oldest daughter Mady has been working at Chipotle for a few years now so if the crema and pico remind you of anything from there, that's probably why.  Cow in a Sombrero 2.0 🐄🌵 ✅ 100% grassfed beef patty ✅ Melty pepperjack cheese ✅ Cool, zesty cilantro-lime crema ✅ A scoop of our farm-made pico de gallo ✅ A generous slather of refried bean spread ✅ Crispy deep-fried corn tostada ✅ Topped with that golden toasted bun sombrero-style It’s crunchy, creamy, juicy, cheesy, and a little bit ridiculous (in the best way).  It's hard to get a picture with that big brim in the way.------------------------------------------------ Saturday, July 19th LIVE MUSIC from Jack Willems 5:30-8:30pm Meet Jack Willems: a young, high-energy country artist who's turning heads across Northern Wisconsin. With a love for hunting, fishing, and country tunes, Jack brings an outdoorsy, Midwest vibe to every show. His viral TikTok performance of “Wagon Wheel” (3.5M+ views!) launched him into the spotlight, and now he's hitting the live music circuit with a mission to entertain. Jack’s shows are full of fun, heart, and crowd sing-alongs, don’t miss your chance to catch this rising star live and help support his journey! Jack Willems: young, high-energy, and recently viral on TikTok. Think acoustic classics, country vibes, and tons of fun.------------------------------------------------ Sunday, July 20th 1/2 off kids meals all day (note that this deal will be ending soon because we're replacing it with something even better!).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! ✨ FARM FUN!

Don't wait to grab your tickets! We need time to arrange for additional instructors if the class gets too full for just Tavis to manage.  Wednesday, August 20th Wine dinner! 6 plates + 4 wines. Tickets will be posted soon! For now, save the date!  We have a group coming in for a farm tour and there are a few spots open on the wagon so we thought we'd open this up to the public - likely our only tour of 2025. Tickets. NEW: 18+ only please.
