TF's convenience items to help you find TIME for the things you love โค

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 ๐Ÿ™„) 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. ๐Ÿ˜

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

Burger Night Week 8 (of 23)

Burger Night is open, rain or shineThursday & Friday 4pm-9pmSaturday noon-9pmSunday noon-7pm Welcome to Week 8 of the Burger Night season and the official start of summer! The weather proves to be a formidable foe, but it at least looks like rain and cold are not going to be a major factor this weekend! In fact, the pendulum is swinging in the opposite direction but the heat can be beet! We've got oodles of shade, TONS of natural air conditioning and lots of cold drinks (win slushies!) so we'd LOVE if you joined us on the farm for some summer fun! We are slowly but surely working on adding more shady spots! The Weeping Willow is growing crazy fast but we are an impatient bunch and I wanted something now. Note that I know some of the furniture is on it's last "leg" but holy smokes is outdoor furniture expensive, so we'll keep slowly adding and replacing pieces, in the meantime, be gentle with what we've got please. ------------------------------------------------ I'm also pretty excited for this week's Burger of the Week: Beet, Feta Have My Honey! We made this one a million years ago - during the first covid year I believe - but you asked for us to bring it back this winter and, being a sucker for beets, I succumbed to the pressure (I think it was one person ๐Ÿ˜‚). Roasted beets for this weekend's Burger of the Week: Beet, Feta Have My Honey! ๐Ÿ˜‹------------------------------------------------Beet, Feta Have My Honey ๐ŸŒฑ NEW Garlicky roasted beet spread๐Ÿง€ Feta crumbles๐Ÿฏ Honey drizzle๐Ÿฎ 100% grassfed beef patty๐Ÿž Toasted, buttery brioche bun Even if you don't love beets (๐Ÿคจ) this is going to be one of those "the sum is better than the parts" type of burger and you're still just going to have to try it!! The young'ins that work here are not expecting very many of these to sell, but I think we should prove them wrong and give them something to think about when it comes to the deliciousness that is roasted beets. So, whaddya say? Wanna help me reshape young minds? It will NOT look very much like this.... This is a picture of the first Beet, Feta Have My Honey BOTW we made several years ago and now we think we can make it EVEN BETTER! Come out and try v2.0 and let us know what you think!------------------------------------------------But wait, there's more! NEW! Now that we are restocked with two different types of beet kvass's we thought we'd do shots of kvass at the bar!! Not sure if you're old? One clue: You do well at tonight's Bird trivia. Second clue: You are really excited for non-alcoholic gut-health-promoting shots of kvass. Third clue: You know what kvass is! ๐Ÿ˜‚ In any case, I hope you're more excited for this than you ever were for jagermeister! ๐Ÿคฎ We just got a ton of brand new ferments in from the Wise Goat that we'll slowly be adding online, unfortunately, these will only be available for on-farm pick-up or local delivery (can't ship them). We're loving these new kvass's so much, you can now order shots of them at the bar! Tomorrow you're going to wake up HEALTHIER from doing shots the night before - how's that for a twist?!------------------------------------------------ Thursday, June 19 Tonight's trivia is all about birds!! Trivia at 7pm: Birds ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿฆ…๐Ÿฆ†๐Ÿค Remember, we give prizes to 1st place, 2nd place and Last place. Bring your friends! (probably the more mature ones. ๐Ÿ™ƒ) ------------------------------------------------ Friday, June 20 LIVE MUSIC from Chris Herriges, 5:30-8:30pm Chris is a highly regarded singer, guitarist and songwriter based in the Twin Cities. Among accomplishments, most noteworthy is probably the large amount of airplay garnered via independent promotion, for a number of original recordings on commercial radio (Rock, Top-40) throughout the U.S., primarily in the 1990's. Also, glowing reviews in many national as well as local publications, also primarily in the early to mid '90's. Can currently be seen regularly in solo-acoustic and duo performances throughout the Twin Cities area and greater Minnesota and Wisconsin. This will be Chris's first time at Together Farms! Let's give him a warm welcome! Like, really warm. Too warm? Nah. We've got shade and fans and wine slushies and cold beer and a pond full of snapping turtles and leeches if we get really, really desperate.------------------------------------------------ Saturday, June 21 LIVE MUSIC from Olivia Maro, 5:30-8:30pm Just a few of the artists she covers...
