Question & Answer  ------

I was asked today if the Kangaroostaurant uses our beef.  YES they do.  They use only Venneford Farm beef.  This week I had their bacon cheeseburger soup.  It was a great choice for a cold day.  I also took along a container and bag and bought supper to go.  They put the shredded beef in the container for me and the buns in the bag so I could put it together myself when I got home from work.

Kangaroostaurant also makes Christmas Cookies and fudge, check out their website.
