On Saturday, January 21st, we will be bringing our meat to our Utah customers. Our first stop will be at Crumb Brothers Bakery (300 S, 300 W) in Logan from 9 to 10 am. The second stop will be in the parking lot behind Grounds for Coffee (Corner of 30th and Harrison) in Ogden from 12 to 12:30 pm. Our final stop will be from 2:30 to 4 pm in SLC at Caputo’s Market (300 W, 300 S, across from Pioneer Park). We want to thank our new hosts in Ogden-Grounds for Coffee!
We will probably try to meet a few Logan area customers on the 18th or 19th, and may need to make an additional run into SLC between the 14th and 28th since we have so many large orders to delivery there. If the 21st doesn’t work for you and you can be flexible on other days just let us know and we may be able to meet with you on our additional trip.
We will be delivering to our Idaho Falls and Pocatello customers on January 14th. Our February deliveries will likely be on February 4th and 18th.
While we encourage pre-requesting/ordering we want to remind our customers that we are always willing to adjust an order up until the time it leaves our possession. We don’t want our customers to feel that they must buy something just because they included it in their pre-request.
· January Special: Lamb loin and rib chops 10% off. We have a mix of both 1” thick and some 1.25-1.5 inch thick chops, all 4 chops per package. Whether grilled, broiled, or pan fried, with just a coating of salt, pepper and garlic or an elaborate marinade or sauce, lamb chops are so yummy. These are the premium cuts from our grass-fed lambs- the equivalent of t-bone and rib steaks in our beef. These could easily be the centerpiece of a wonderful Valentine’s day meal for you and your special one. Here is an easy way to make breaded lamb chops http://allrecipes.com/recipe/baked-lamb-chops/detail.aspx I’m going to give it a try soon!
· We have a couple of beef with which to fill this month’s orders but we expect that we may run out of certain cuts this month. We strongly encourage you to get your requests in ASAP for the best chance of getting what you are hoping for. If you know you want meat in February pre-ordering now for February may be a really good idea because supplies may be tight then as well.
· We are starting to take deposits for quarter half and whole beef which will be delivered in very late 2012 or 2013. We are still taking deposits for whole or half lambs to be delivered in approximately February/March. See http://www.laufamilyfarm.com/whole-half-lamb/ for more information.
· We have gift certificates available for our products. They can be made out for any amount and will be good for 6 months from the date of purchase.
· We always offer discounts on 10, 20, 50 and 100 lbs/packages of ground beef- see the details at: http://www.laufamilyfarm.com/ground-beef/. As many of you know, we also have 3 beef bundles that save you 10% off buying the same items individually. You can see the details on our bundles website page (http://www.laufamilyfarm.com/beef-bundles/ )
· We have beef and lamb dog and marrow bones available. We also have lamb heart, liver, kidney and a variety of beef organs (heart, liver, kidney, tongue, oxtail, fat, cartilage). Let us know if you would be interested in purchasing some for yourself or your animal friends.
· We have several kinds of sausages available: Beef Andouille, Beef Bratwurst, Beef Frankfurter and Beef Sweet Italian.
· We have several yarns that are from our naturally colored ewes-Spot, Shooter, Jenna, Amber blended with a white, and Darky blended with a white. In addition, we have made a fingering weight yarn from our Targhee ram’s fleece-it is so soft and is a lovely natural white. We have picked a name for our yarns etc- Meadow Made Fibers (by Lau Family Farm). You can meet some of these ladies on their new webpages: http://www.laufamilyfarm.com/our-wool/.
· We have a Facebook page for Lau Family Farm, LLC. I hope you will find it interesting and useful. http://bit.ly/laufamilyfarm.
It has been an interesting week here, with both my Dad and stepmom in the hospital at times. Hopefully things will be getting back on track, and onto a more even keel, very soon.
We enjoyed having family in town over the Christmas holidays but it was pretty chaotic at times. I still don’t seem to have been able to get back into the swing of things after taking 11 or so days off to enjoy time with the kids and friends while they were out of school. I did manage to enjoy the lead-up to Christmas more than in the past. I made a point of not just making the cookies but actually delivering several plates and staying to visit for a few minutes with our friends. The large group meals had the plus of having more hands (and ovens) to help prepare all the food so I got to relax a bit more than in years past. We hope you also enjoyed the Holiday season and were able to spend time with family and friends you enjoy.
We were very happy to get to spend time with my older brother, his wife and year old daughter for a few days between Christmas and New Years. It is hard to believe that in a month’s time they’ll be leaving the US and moving to Tasmania. Thank goodness we can keep in touch via Skype, email and face book!
John totally surprised me with a much longed for spinning wheel this Christmas so I’ve had fun learning how to use it. I’ve had better luck getting my hands and feet organized, and in sync, than the one time I tried a wheel at a store. While I’m sure I won’t be reducing what we take to Spinderella’s to be spun, it will be fun to be able to spin my own fiber as well. Maybe I’ll even have a bit of handspun yarn or garments for sale this summer-who knows!
John and I need to get critter and kid sitters organized very soon for our early March trip to Washington, DC. Getting friends and neighbors lined up to feed the stock for a week or so is a bit of production but hopefully we’ll soon find out who is available when and can order our plane tickets. I’m not quite sure what effect this will have on our March deliveries but we’ll do our best to keep you informed.
We thank all of you that have supported us over the last 7 years!
Please don’t hesitate to let us know how we can improve our products or services.
Thank you for your continued business!
