Happy Anniversary

It is Venneford Farm Country Meats'  12th Anniversary

selling by the individual package at farm markets

We will be celebrating by giving away door prizes, meat & cheese, running special prices, etc. 

Check us out right here to see what is new for the weekend at the Downtown Appleton Farm Market.

This weekend, August 4

We will be giving away a Door Prize Package (several items)

to the 12 customer of the day

to comemorate the 12 years at farm markets.

Our families have been farming in the New London - Clintonville area for 155 years.  My in-laws changed over to beef farming in the early 1980's.  After my father-in-law became very ill with cancer in the 1990's we started farming on our own.

I had always wanted a little business of my own, so I researched direct marketing and in August of 2000 we became licensed to sell our meat by the individual cut.

Several of our relatives told us we were making a mistake by selling this way.  It is a lot more work, getting up at 3:00am every Saturday, picking up 100's of pounds of meat from the butcher to bring home, sort and organize to get ready for the farm market, the advertising and extra accounting work to just name a few.  And then there are the extra costs involved as well, extra insurance, electricity for 5 large freezers, delivery van, constructing the store front, advertising, etc.

BUT, WE LOVE WHAT WE ARE DOING.
