We butchered a pig this week and will be restocked at the Indoor winter farm market satuday the 12.
ALSO, The Free Market on Wisconsin Ave. in Appleton will be re-stocking on our pork on Saturday morning before the farm market, Nov 12.
Due to the deer hunting season, this was the last time my butcher could do a pig. Now he cleans everything up to get ready for processing deer. He will return to regular butchering on Dec 5. So, I have several pigs going in then.
In the mean time, the BACON supply will be limited and I have already been taking orders for rexerving bacon for pick up on the 19th at the farm market. If you would like to reserve some, email me at

Samples: This week, Garlic Bologna sliced lunch meat. The garlic ring bologna is the same, just in a ring. Our bologna is All Beef. Made with our Prime ground chuck.
Specials: My special this week is
10% OFF each package
of Top Sirloin Steak
they are in 6 to 9 oz. individual steaks. If you are trying to eat more healthy, they say the piece of meat should be about the size of a deck of cards, or fit in the palm of your hand. These tasty steaks are just that, nice and small.
Re-Stocking:
My butcher is getting the pig cut and wrapped this week so I can pick it up after work on Friday, so, I will be restocked on pork this weekend. For a full listing of pork cuts check out my blog at www.vennefordfarmcountrymeats.blogspot.com
The bacon and braunschweiger will not be ready until the following week.

Farmers Market
So many updates, please check them all out...................
This week:
Venneford Farm Country Meats will be on College Ave. in front of the City Center East building next to Jimmy J's razor back rib sauce.
Heat the oven to 375° F. Brown the beef in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off the fat and stir in the salt and pepper. Transfer the beef to a bowl and set it aside.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in the skillet and sauté the onion and garlic for about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in the beef.
3. In a large bowl, combine the roll mix, water, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Stir until the dough is formed. Turn it out onto a floured surface and knead it for 5 minutes. Line a 10- by 15-inch cookie sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease the paper. Place the dough on the sheet, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rest for 5 minutes.
4. Press the dough out to the edges of the cookie sheet and slice it lengthwise to create two 5- by 15-inch rectangles. Sprinkle the beef mixture over the two doughs and top it with the slices of American cheese.
5. Fold over about 1 inch of the short ends, then roll up each rectangle the long way to create 2 loaves. Pinch the ends closed. Reposition the loaves so they're evenly spaced on the cookie sheet and brush the tops with the remaining olive oil. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let the loaves cool for about 7 minutes before slicing. Makes 24 servings.

We are having more summer sausage made this week. Both sticks and sliced for lunch meat in both plain and garlic.

In honor of the 10th anniversary of the winter market, I plan to sell the Dupont cheese at my cost all winter long. This too, is a great savings, averaging about 15%.
