<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The radio station I listen to has been having a segment on Monday mornings on “Saving Money”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They talk about different ideas and things you can do or do differently to save money.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Last week they brought up buying meat locally and buying it by quarters, halves or whole animal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But like they said, then you have to have the freezer space to do it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For some people this is not efficient.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They don’t use all the different cuts or would never use that much in one year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A key in trying to save money is in looking at what you use and how you use it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is not always a matter of the sticker price.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">You can actually save money by buying individual packages of meat from Venneford Farm Country Meats at the farmers market over buying the same cut of meat on sale at a grocery store<u> by reducing waste</u>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have heard the same story over and over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>‘They had a big sale on meat at the grocery store so I bought 10 pound, I put 5 pounds in the freezer right away and was going to use the rest that week, but, the next day the meat was all slimy and smelled spoiled, I had to throw it out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I went to use some I put in the freezer, by the time it thawed it was also spoiled.’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The reason for this is that the meat is already days away from spoiling and the store puts it on sale to try to get some return on their money before they have to throw the rest out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, if you don’t use it the same day you purchased it you may be throwing <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>your money away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you change your mind or put off making what you planned enough times, throwing out spoiled meat each time, you will have spent more on the cheap sale meat than you would have spent buying a top quality cut of meat from us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, our meat is frozen at the peak of its freshness so once thawed out you can change your mind and delay making that meal for days and still come back to that cut and use it later and it will still be tasty and fresh.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Another story I have heard is ‘We bought the meat on sale, it was such a good price but only one piece was tender and tasty, the rest was so bad we gave it to the dog.’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That meat may have been cheap but was it worth it to use grocery dollars to feed the dog?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span style="color: #4f6228; font-size: 16pt; mso-themecolor: accent3; mso-themeshade: 128;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">So, sometimes the savings is in buying quality not the cheapest price.<o:p></o:p></span></span></u></b></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><u>The "Motivator" Liver treats</u></strong></span> are hormone and antibiotic free. They are little pieces of dried liver. They are dried, cut and packaged for us by 2 Paws Up Bakery. These are primarily a Dog treat. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><u>The Beef "Country Pet Treats"</u></strong></span> are also hormone and antibiotic free and made strickly with beef from our animals. They are made by Turtle Pond Bakery using her recipes. These will be softer and so they can be used for Dogs or Cats.<br />

Click on the farm driveway sign at the right and then click on "Our Farm".<br />
I hope to add more pictures over time.Venneford Farm Country Meatshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09392226793586495701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232120468135300226.post-42883548013178688352012-10-13T07:59:00.000-07:002012-10-13T07:59:35.462-07:00A Day OffHello<br />
<br />
It is so nice to have a day off. Other than Octoberfest this is the only other Saturday I have had off since June. But, I feel bad that I am not there for my customers.<br />
<br />
My husband farms by day and drives semi by night. He got home from work at 3:00am today, that is the time I get up to get ready for the farmers market, and he said it was pouring out.<br />
I don't mind loading the freezers in the van when it is misting or sprinkling, but I can't do it when it is pouring. Even if I cover the boxes, they get damp and that is what causes frost in the freezers.<br />
<br />
So, since I am home today, I will get a head start on entering all my farm records (sales and expenses) into the computer to get ready for tax season.<br />
<br />
CHECKING FOR SOMETHING NEW<br />
<br />
I love it when I see that people are checking to see if I wrote something new for the upcoming farm market. But, I feel bad when I realize they are checking early in the week so they are seeing what I wrote for the week before. Please continue to check, but I would like to let you know that to be on the safe side, check Thursday night.<br />
<br />
I am going to try to put some information on here more often. I have some big ideas on what I would like to add, recipes, nutrition info, charts, pictures from the farm. I just keep running out of time.Venneford Farm Country Meatshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09392226793586495701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232120468135300226.post-74380337452689301222012-10-12T18:19:00.000-07:002012-10-12T18:19:06.605-07:00Rain this weekendHello<br />
<br />
<u><strong>NO</strong> I will not be at the farm market tomorrow</u> due to the rain all day.<br />
<br />
I will be back next weekend.<br />
<br />
See you next week.Venneford Farm Country Meatshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09392226793586495701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232120468135300226.post-87043580116440817832012-10-12T11:31:00.002-07:002012-10-12T11:31:57.587-07:00New Booth Space for October<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>I just got the word:</strong></span><br />
<br />
My new booth space for the rest of October while we are still outside is - - - <br />
<br />
<strong>On the north side of the street on College Ave. next to the main enterance of the City Center in front of the Gyros Restaurant.</strong><br />
<br />
If I am there tomorrow this is where I will be. But, you will be able to find me there next week on the 20th for sure.Venneford Farm Country Meatshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09392226793586495701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232120468135300226.post-52235727867177075062012-10-12T10:35:00.002-07:002012-10-12T10:35:16.075-07:00Plans for Saturday<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>At this time (noon on Friday)</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I do not know if my booth space will be moved to College Ave.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">BUT</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As of the weather forcast for tomorrow so far, it looks like rain all day starting at 3:00am (which is when I get up to start loading for the market) and the rain will go until about noon on Sunday.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I will check the weather again tonight to see if it pays for me to get up at 3:00am to check the weather then.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If they change it because the weather is moving in slower than exspected and it will not start to rain until Saturday afternoon, then I will go to the market.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But as it stands now, I don't think I will be going.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I will update this later today.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Have a nice indoor weekend.</span>Venneford Farm Country Meatshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09392226793586495701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232120468135300226.post-14267394363582452332012-10-11T16:25:00.001-07:002012-10-11T16:25:13.017-07:00Farmers Market October 13Hello<br />
<br />
The forcast for Saturday went for 80% rain and thunderstorms to 100% rain.<br />
I will check the weather late on Friday and/or early Saturday morning and then post here, <br />
Please check here on my website to see if I will be at the market Saturday.<br />
<br />
If I am at the market, my booth location may be changing.<br />
It is that time of the year when they try to move the vendors from the park out to College Ave.<br />
But, they don't know yet if there is an opening. I may find out tomorrow. If so, I will post that also so you know where to find me.Venneford Farm Country Meatshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09392226793586495701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232120468135300226.post-29011671796222676542012-10-04T10:35:00.000-07:002012-10-04T10:35:04.155-07:00Beer Brats are backBeer Brats are back for the football season.<br />
<br />
No need to parboil in beer. (but you still can if you want to) The beer is mixed right in the sausage.<br />
In the past my beer brats were made with beef. But this time they are made the traditional way with all pork.<br />
<br />
This is a great party brat for the football game parties.<br />
Try them with fried onions or with sauer kraut.Venneford Farm Country Meatshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09392226793586495701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232120468135300226.post-28843422954965118852012-10-01T10:23:00.000-07:002012-10-01T10:23:14.684-07:00Farmers Market October 6, 2012<strong><em><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;">Appleton Farm Market</span></em></strong><br />

<span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">In the fairytale world, a shiny red apple can lead to a poisonous end.

<span style="font-size: large;">Start with a loaf of Parmesan Basil Sourdough Bread from Great Harvest Bread Co. 2 booths down from Venneford Farm Country Meats at the farmers market.</span><br />

<br />
Before the summer market season started I make new sign boards listing all the cuts of meat we have. I am sure you noticed how much nicer they look with the pictures on them.<br />
<br />
Well, when I made the one with the sausage, I typed out the names for the summer sausage and ring bologna and they both have a choice of (plain or garlic).<br />
When I typed out the name "Wieners" I accidentally copied the "(plain or garlic)".<br />
<br />
The first couple times I was asked for garlic wieners I did not think any thing of it. We have so many things available in garlic. So it was weeks before I found out I made the mistake of putting the garlic wieners on the boards.<br />
<br />
I AM STILL GETTING ASKED FOR GARLIC WIENERS.<br />
<br />
SO, I decided to have some garlic wieners made. I don't know if they will be ready yet this weekend or not. But I should have them for the following weekend for sure.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in GARLIC WIENERS check back and I will let you know for sure when I have them.<br />

Produce is still doing great.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We have Stir Fry Strips to go with all that great produce.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">your choice of </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><strong>Beef, </strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #7f6000; font-size: large;"><strong>Pork, </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and <strong><span style="color: #bf9000;">Chicken</span></strong> stir fry strips.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When you read a recipe for stir fry it calls for using round steak.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But our Beef Stir Fry Strips are so much better, ours are cut from sirloin. Moister and more tender.....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Soon we will be thinking of cooking for cooler weather.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Check out the tabs above for our list of roasts. Right now we still have some chuck roasts that are even under 2 pounds each.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Don't forget to call or email if you want quantities or want to select from the smaller or larger sizes of packages. This way you are not restricted to what we have in stock in the van freezers on Saturday morning.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Have a great day.</span>Venneford Farm Country Meatshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09392226793586495701noreply@blogger.com0
