Hello from

Venneford Farm Country Meats

I am sorry that I am posting after so many of you have already checked in today.  But this has been one busy week.  

  

July is National Beef Month

Check out the specials tab above. 

Polish vs. Kielbasa !!

I get asked all the time what the difference is between Polish sausage and Kielbasa.  Well not a lot, the spices and seasonings are the same.  They are really the same thing with 2 different names but, in our case there is one little difference.  I have my Polish sausage made all Beef.  And my Kielbasa is all Pork.  But they are both in brats so you can use them in or out of a bun.

WHAT'S UP ON THE FARM....

Our grandkids were over last weekend and we got lots of pictures of them helping to feed the cows.  I will try to get some of these pics put on our farm page over the next couple of weeks.  Click on the farm sign to the right to see if they are there.

Taking Credit Cards !!

I am very sorry for the bad WiFi signal causing trouble with my taking credit cards last weekend.  I just got a Hot Spot device tonight.  Getting it charged now so I can try it out tomorrow.  I hope to not have any problems with it Saturday.  I want to thank those who trusted me to take down their info the ancient old fashioned way last weekend.

My butcher told me this week that the processing charges for cutting, wrapping, making sausage, etc. will be going up.  So, since is have to re-evaluate my prices anyway, I will look at working it out so that the cost of using the credit card program will be covered.  That means that the 3% charge for using your credit card will be temporary.  Please bear with me, this might be the last weekend that I add that service charge.  I will, however, try to make my price changes as minimal as I can.  Some items will not change at all. 

Thanks for being so patient with my getting set up for credit cards.  Nothing is ever easy even when it sounds easy.

Re-Stocking.................

Apple & Cinnamon Porkie Links this weekend.  12 per pack.

The big news for the week

the big news for this week is that I am getting set up to be able to take credit cards.

I may have it up and running already this weekend at the farmers market.  But if not, it will definately be up and running for the next one.

Don't forget to click on "Specials" and print our coupons to use this weekend.  Kielbasa Brats are great on the grill in hot weather.

Samples

Shaved Ham Lunch Meat

We will have samples of our ham this weekend, June 16.
Our ham is available in :
Shaved ham
Ham steak
Quarters of boneless ham that are great for cubing for salads

Prime Rib

I just love good food, don't you?

another good idea for a special Father's Day meal  -  Prime Rib....

Our Beef Boneless Rib Roasts are about 2 pounds.
Can you just picture making the rib roast on the grill with all
kinds of fresh veggies from the farmers market,  ....
can you say "Yummmmm"

We have a limited supply of Beef Boneless Rib Roasts, so if you
would like one, you can call or email to reserve it. 
Check our contact page.

Our rib roasts are well marbeled , which is what you need to be graded prime and where the great taste comes from.  But yet ours are not overly fatty because we feed our cattle to keep them lean.

You will find us under the trees in Houdini Plaza on the 16th for the summer farmers market in Appleton.

2 Weeks from tomorrow

The summer farm market in Appleton is just 2 weeks away.

I picked up some of my meat from the butcher today.  It's time to get organized, start planning and get things ready for opening day.

It will be a busy day for everyone.  And with Father's Day being the next day, items for the grill will be most popular.  If you want to order ahead to have things reserved for you, just go to our contact page and email or call.  Remember, when you order ahead you get 5% off.  (does not include chicken)  and if you pick out one of the special Father's day boxes, they are an even bigger savings.

Father's Day boxes can be picked up before the 16th by contacting me soon, I can drop them off at Natural Expressions Bakery near Plauman Park on the north side of Appleton.  Then you can pick them up at your convenience.
