#1 America's favorite food for the Big Game is chicken wings, by far.

They're easy to make and so, so tasty. Our pasture raised chicken wings are meaty, tender, and so flavorful, even before you add the dipping sauce!

Our friend Matt recommends cutting off the wing tips, drizzling them with oil and your favorite seasoning, then baking them at 425 degrees F for 40 minutes until crispy brown (flip halfway through cooking time). Recipe here.

#2 Another classic for the football game is buffalo chicken dip.

Cook up and shred some boneless, skinless chicken breasts or a whole chicken, then mix with cream cheese and your favorite buffalo dipping sauce for a tasty chip dipping masterpiece!

#3 What would a Sunday night football game be without pizza??

Make up your family's favorite crust (or pull a ready made one from the freezer) then top with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, peppers, onions, olives, mushrooms, etc., and lots of pepperoni and cooked Italian sausage. Or skip the marinara and make a chicken alfredo pizza instead. Everyone will be glad they came to your house to watch the game. ;)

#4 Everyone like something different? You can't go wrong with a taco or nacho bar.

Make some easy pulled pork in the slow cooker ahead of time for some carnitas nachos, as well as, pulled chicken, and classic taco seasoned ground beef.

Assemble a DIY nacho bar starting with a bed of nacho chips with options of meats, cheese, salsa, sour cream, onions, jalapenos, peppers, olives, tomatoes, cilantro, lime and you're set!

#5 You could do something similar with chili, too, for another easy, feed a crowd, option.

#6 Keep things simple with a classic charcuterie grazing board spread.

Our ready assembled Big Party and Medium Gathering Boxes are great to bring along to a party or to put out at your own! They come with cheese, salami, relishes, crackers, and more. All you need is a board, knife, and friends to enjoy it with you.

Where to Find Riemer Family Farm Eggs!

Just look for the PINK carton at a grocery store near you! The egg business has been crazy lately to say the least! It seems like every third news story is about the price of eggs and shortages and even thievery of eggs! Who knew there could be so much drama around the humble chicken egg? We partner with a young farm family to produce our seasonally pastured eggs. These hens have a pretty posh life, non-GMO feed, plenty of space, never any cages and are out and about during the growing season. The bird flu outbreak is just another bit of evidence that the industrial food system is very broken! One of the solutions is MORE farmers on the land raising livestock at a family scale and not more concentrated factory agriculture in the U.S. Barns of tens and even hundreds of thousands of chickens are the ones primarily affected by the bird flu for all the obvious reasons! When 150,000 or more birds are together in a barn when one or a few get infected it's a matter of hours before the whole flock is infected and all must be destroyed. Family farms came through for customers during Covid and are proving to be resilient during this current egg problem too! While we are still learning and don't claim to be perfect, we are more sustainable and adaptable than the factory model of farming. Thank you for standing by our farm and other regenerative farms in your area! If you would like to purchase (or dine on) our eggs you can find them at many stores and restaurants! Including: South Central WI: Brodhead Piggly Wiggly Gempeler's Market-Monticello Roy's Market-New Glarus Evansville Piggly Wiggly Oregon Hy-Vee Fitchburg Hy-Vee Cadre restaurant (and others through a distributor) Sunrise Cafe-Monroe N. Illinois: Bull Valley General Store Daily Project Cafe-Algonquin Duck A Diet, Ready to Eat Meals-Huntly Forest Green's Juice Bar-Lake Bluff Just look for the PINK carton. With all the egg shortages from the industrial farms and spiking prices from a fragile industry, our eggs are quite affordable. We will never price gouge. We seek to provide a fair price for both our customers and us. As always you can pick up your eggs on the farm. Please place an order on our website and we will have them ready for you within a day. Make sure that you have Riemer Family Farm as your pickup location.
