Customer Referral Bonus Program

Every time someone signs up for an account using your unique Referral Link, you get $10 in store credit when they place their first order.

And your friend gets $10 in store credit, too, to apply to their first order.

Win - Win

No limits - you can refer as many people as you want.

And it’s simple – all you have to do is email them your Referral link, found in your store Account.

They click on the link, create their NEW account, and place an order to earn you each $10.

Wondering where to find the referral code?

Not sure how to copy and paste a link into an email?

No worries!

If you need a little help to send your referral code, I’ve put together a tutorial, including photos of the process:

#1 Log in to your account on our website. Under the Account dropdown in the main menu, choose Referrals.

#5 Put your mouse in the body of the email and right click. Choose Paste from the menu.

When your friend receives your email, they click the link you sent them. 

They'll be directed to create an account on our webstore.

In order for you to both receive your credits, they MUST use this link to create their account.

When your friend places their first order, their $10 credit will be applied automatically to the total due.

After your friend completes their first order (including paying for any balance due), you will receive your $10 store credit.

You can see your credit here:

The next time you place an order, your credit will automatically be applied to the total.

And that's it!

We SO appreciate the support you give us, both with your orders and your kind words.

Every time you use your food dollars at our farm, to support both an agricultural system you truly believe in as well as our family, we are full of gratitude.

And when you tell us the stories of what our farm-fresh food means to you, we are lifted up.

But there’s one thing you do that warms our hearts, if possible, even more.

That one thing is when you tell your friends about our farm.

When that happens, we know it’s really something special.

Because, honestly, what are the most common stories we tell our friends?

The bad ones, of course.

Because that’s what are human brains are designed to remember.

“Don’t shop there because of such and such…” or “I had the worst customer experience with X and I’m never going back…”

Usually it makes a good story, plus we want to save our friends from the same bad experiences we had.

But not in this case.

We know that you are going out of your way to tell your friends GOOD things about us.

And we know this because we always ask new customers how they found us, and often they say “My friend told me about you.”

Wow! Right to the heart.

It has always been our goal to say “Thank you” in an immediate and tangible way.

But sometimes we don’t even get a name to go with “my friend,” which makes it awfully hard to follow up.

Which is why we are so happy to introduce our Customer Referral Bonus Program.

We don’t want you to be an “unsung” farm hero any longer.

Truly, your referrals are a huge compliment to us.

We hope in this small way to say “Thank you!” for going out of your way to spread the word.

And you could very well be giving your friend a gift worth much more than the $.

Sometimes we all need a little extra push (or pull) to try something new.

And maybe the new customer bonus $ is just the carrot they need to get started.

So they can finally find the satisfaction you’ve found - of enjoying tasty food that’s grown in a way you feel good about supporting

That’s something we can all be grateful for.

Top 3 Secrets for Great Kabobs (Recipe)

Have you grilled shish kabobs yet this summer? I have to say, they’re one of my favorites and something I look forward to making every year as soon as the sun starts to shine. Shish kabobs are simple, healthy and so perfectly suited to the fresh tastes of summer. Quick enough for a weeknight, they can also be prepped in advance for a sunny deck party. Their roots are in multiple culinary traditions. Sometimes they’re just called Skewers. In Greece they’re called Souvlaki, which is what I made this week for my family. So what are they? At the most basic level, shish kabobs are bits of meat and/or vegetables placed onto skewers and grilled. The combinations of ingredients and flavors are endless, so they easily suit dietary needs, flavor preferences, and whatever is fresh for the season. But there are a few ways kabobs can go wrong if you don’t have the right methods in place. To help you get it right and have the best eating experience, today I’m sharing my top 3 secrets for great kabobs. Follow these 3 top rules and I can nearly guarantee you’ll create a delicious outcome every time. 1. Remove any connective tissue from the meat before grilling. Skip this step and you’re going to be disappointed. Connective tissues, like the fascia and silver skin, add a nutritious element to stews - but are enemies to a quick cooking dish like kabobs. Leave them in the kabobs, and you’ll end up with a tough nightmare you can’t chew. So, depending on the cut you choose, make sure to carefully remove any connective tissue before cutting the meat into one inch cubes. Following this advice is especially imperative if choosing a more economical cut of beef, like London Broil, stew meat or Denver steaks. They are delicious and can make great kabobs, but the tradeoff is a bit of extra labor on your part. You don’t have to throw away the trimmed bits, either. Save them in the freezer to add extra flavor and nutrition to your next batch of bone broth. Or cut them up for your dog or cat – best friends for life! Now, don’t confuse undesirable connective tissue with intermuscular marbling. You can tell it’s connective tissue to be removed if the muscle pulls away on both sides (see photo). Marbling, on the other hand, is the thin white veins of fat that run through the muscle.  Marbling is delicious and highly desirable in kabobs. Leave it in! For the easiest to prepare and most tender bite, choose a quality steak like the New York Strip, Rib Eye or Top Sirloin. These cuts have very little, if any, connective tissue, so you’ll save the trimming step. Plus the NY and Rib Eye especially have the perfect amount of marbling to make for a super tender bite. Since our steaks are cut at 1” thick, all you need to do is finish cutting them into 1” cubes. Click here to buy steak for kabobs now. If you’re looking for a pork options, pork chops and kabobs are your best bet. They’re both delicious, but make sure to follow the rule on removing connective tissue when opting for the kabob. 2. Place meat on separate skewers from the vegetables. This is important because the vegetables are going to take waaaayyy longer to cook than the meat. Put them on the same skewers like in the pretty magazine pictures and you’re either going to have shoe-leather meat or raw vegetables. Which leads to… 3. Don’t overcook the meat. Overcooked, dried out meat is tough meat. I probably sound like a broken record on this point, but it’s so easy to get this step wrong. And it's important because I want you to enjoy every bite of our premium grass-fed beef - every time. So first grill those vegetables (the ones you placed on separate skewers) until they’re lovely and crisp-tender. Set them aside and THEN throw on the meat skewers. Now, don’t blink. Definitely don’t walk away to fill your drink, set the table, or mediate a kid dispute… In a flash, those succulent meat skewers will reach an internal temperature of 140 degrees. You’ll just have time to turn them and get lovely grill marks on all sides. Take them off the heat and rest them on a plate for 5 minutes. The internal temp will raise another 5 degrees and the meat juices will reabsorb for the most tender, juicy bite. Use a medium (not high) flame, for best results. Bonus Tips Get the family into the action. Cut up all the vegetables, toss them in olive oil, and then let everyone make their own skewers with whatever ingredients they prefer. When we made kabobs this last week, the Farmhands each made their own skewers and had so much fun in the process. Farmhand Vera eschewed the mushrooms. For Farmhand Eli, no onion. Farmhand Grace put on everything because that’s most fun  - especially the “vacchinnies” (translation: zucchini). And no one punctured their hand with the sharp skewers! At least after I showed them how to put the veggies on a cutting board instead of the palm of your hand :) Final flavor tip - Be sure to marinate the meat skewers for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours. My absolute favorite marinade is from my Greek Souvlaki Recipe, because it complements both One Straw beef and pork without covering up the inherently luscious flavor. And don’t forget to make the tzatziki dressing from the same recipe. Drizzle it over the meat and vegetables on your plate. Then dust with parsley, salt and fresh ground pepper for the perfect finish. Are you hungry yet? I just finished up the last of our kabob leftovers for lunch and I’m wishing I’d made more… Click here to order beef or pork for kabobs now.
