Summer Newsletter

WOW, we hit our 7 year anniversary mark next Friday.  What a ride it's been!  Thank you for supporting us - we are blessed beyond words and are so excited for what's to come.  We've learned so many lessons over these years, one of the most important of which is that it is essential to keep evolving, changing, and improving.  This year we've started quite a huge project of curing our own meats, and pickling and fermenting lots of stuff.  A smoker just arrived today - Sieb and Red are like two little kids in a candy shop...so for sure you'll be seeing smoked things on the menu any day now.  We are so thankful to our amazing crew and awesome customers...you have become our family.  We also want to publicly announce that Rachel and Lucas have officially become partners with us, and we are thrilled that this really is becoming a growing family business.

do you like our new bumper sticker?
There are hundreds of people I'd love to thank by name, but of course I'd leave someone out and feel horrible about it, so instead I'm going to point out our parents who have done so much to support us, Blair and Jan Paul, and Cary and Sieb Jurriaans - without you guys none of this could have happened (well obviously:)  Also, the other day as we were driving along, Netty said, "mom, Gene and Tamar (Felton) are just like our 3rd grandparents" and she is so right.  The Feltons are the most amazing role models, mentors, and friends - so thank you for believing in us 7 years ago...you guys are the best!  And then, without Gary Reidling, everything would be broken, so we definitely need to make a huge shout out to him...Thanks Gary!
