Farm Market July 21

Hello from

Venneford Farm Country Meats

We are restocking on cheese this week.  We are also checking on bringing in more differant cheese or flavors.  We want to add more Low Fat and even Low Sodium cheese.  We will keep you updated on this.
Check out the new tab at the top, I now have all the cheeses we bring listed.

Blueberry Haven is a Wisconsin Blueberry farm that is located just on the other side of the country block from us on County Road XX.  They are now open for pick-your-own.  When driving toward Clintonville, watch for signs on Hwy 45 and county roads D and XX. 

I went to the Farm Technology Days yesterday.  this was the first time I have been able to go.  It was great, so much to see I wish I had another day to go.  My 2 little grandkids just loved the kids area and see the calves and horses.

July is National BEEF Month

Hello from

Venneford Farm Country Meats

Up Coming Dates !!

July is National Beef Month - week 2

To celebrate National Beef Month we will have several things going on this weekend.

We still have some great prizes left from our drawing last weekend, SO, if you bring back your drawing slip you picked from the can last week and use it when making a purchase this week, you can pick from the remaining ones left.  We still have a 5%off, 10%off and a Door Prize one left as well as others.

Also, this Saturday, The First , 5^th and 10^th customers of the day will get One FREE RibEye Steak.

Flat Iron steak vs. Mock New York Steak !!

Same muscle, 2 ways to cut it, and many names.

Flat iron steak is the American name for the cut known as butlers' steak in the UK and oyster blade steak in Australia and New Zealand. It is cut with the grain, from a specific muscle in the shoulder of the animal, producing a cut that tastes good, but is a bit tougher because it's not cross-grain.

Mock New York Strip is cut from the same muscle but is cut across the grain making it the second most tender cut of meat from the animal, second only to tenderloin.  This cut tastes like a ribeye and remains moist because of the marbling.  When cut across the grain  it looks a little like a New York Strip which is how it got its name.

We carry the Mock New York Stripe steaks, they come in packs of .5 to 1.0 pounds and have 2 or 3 steaks in each pack.  They can be pan fried, grilled, use for kabobs and much more.  I love them pan fried with lots of onions.

NO it’s not in there....

Our sausage and brats are not only MSG Free but also are Gluten FREE.

Taking Credit Cards !!

Thank you for your patience,  WE are now up and running completely for taking credit cards, swiping them and everything.

Bacon Ends have many uses........

Bacon ends make it very easy to add bacon to salads, baked beans, etc. or anything that you would crumble bacon for.  But crumbled bacon is messy.  Using bacon ends is not.  Bacon ends are cubes or chunks left from cutting the nice long strips of bacon.  They can be quit meaty.  It is very easy to slice off little pieces and pan fry them.  Because they are already small pieces there is no need to crumble.  Fry , drain and ready to use.  No mess.  We have them in Regular ends and Shoulder bacon ends.  The package sizes can vary from .5 to 1.25 pounds.

Remember, we take EBT tokens.



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.
