Farm Musings

Jack presented to the Minneapolis City of Lakes Rotary Club last week about why and how he left his consulting career to start TC Farm with Betsy. Watch the presentation to learn about the history, challenges, and what we can do to improve the food system.

Now that we have our own warehouse, we can finally offer more of the products Betsy and Jack have enjoyed for years. These are our favorite dried fruits and nuts, now available at a less than retail price for our members!

Jack and Betsy have been huge fans of Alemar cheese shortly after Kevin founded the small-batch local artisan creamery in Mankato. Having cheese made from well-raised cows is really hard to come by and it tastes amazing. The Camembert has been our go-to cheese for years, but with the pandemic, we've allowed ourselves a treat to bring it more into our daily route. We're SO excited to share several of their cheeses with you!

We're always on the lookout for great things to offer our members. For November, besides all the great turkey offerings we have, TC Farm is also offering pet treats and ginger!

This was a fun meal to make - the sauce was just fantastic using our fresh baby organic ginger. Really unique and worth the effort.

Josh has been helping with TC Farm for years. But now he's with us each day in the warehouse and on the road, making sure our members get their food each month. Adding Josh to our team has allowed TC Farm to better customize everyone's order and increase our product offering. You'll see some pretty amazing new options from TC Farm thanks to Josh's work!

We love that our TC Farm community helps us reduce waste by returning coolers and egg cartons but we need your help to make that process sustainable. If you return items for reuse, this is a MUST read.

Cooking should be simple and delicious - brownies will make you happy.

Whether you are cooking up a traditional family feast or scaling things back this year, TC Farm has got you covered.

As many of you know, in addition to helping TC Farm, Betsy also runs the University of Minnesota Marching Band. She recently did an interview for Kare11 about all of the extra planning work her team has done over the last six months. We thought you'd enjoy the story.

Who doesn't want a healthy, organic meal ready to go in their freezer? Stock up on your favorite soup and you'll be thanking yourself later!

Having a couple of pork roasts in the freezer and at the ready has really let us step up our cooking game. A little bit of advance planning and you've got a week's worth of quick meals. Bonus: TC Farm pasture raised pork has a richer flavor and fuller texture than what you think of when you think grocery store pork.

When we started our farm, we were so busy... I swear we lived off of these roasted potatoes and pan-fried ground beef. Check out the secret to the best-tasting potatoes!

We've got some buns to go with our brats!
