DIY Midwest Brat Board

Charcuterie boards, snack boards, butter boards, and now....brat boards!

How to DIY your very own Brat Board

For maximum variety, you can include:

  • A variety of brat flavors
  • A few different pickles and sauerkrauts (or whatever you like)
  • Some different mustards
  • A few different buns (pretzel, brioche, hard roll, etc.)
  • Some grilled veggies to serve on the side (zucchini, peppers, corn...yum!)
  • Of course, cheese....because this is a Midwest board, remember.
  • Anything else you like to serve with your brats!

Steps to assemble:

1. Grill up the brats as you normally would (and veggies, too, if you like).

2. After the brats are cooked, slice a few of each flavor into appetizer sized discs or diagonals so people can enjoy a simple taste without necessarily taking an entire brat. Feel free to leave some brats whole on the side or as part of your display.

3. Arrange the different brat flavors onto a large serving board, sorted by flavor to keep things organized. Use a toothpick and paper to distinguish between, if needed.

4. Surround the brats with small dishes containing the mustards, krauts, and pickles.

5. Fill in other gaps with your bite size bits of bun, grilled veggies, cheese, and anything else you plan to include! Fresh sliced radishes, carrots, and other relishes make a great addition, as well.

6. Take a picture of your masterpiece, then serve and enjoy! :)

How we raise pastured turkeys for Thanksgiving

Midsummer, our farm welcomes hundreds of day old turkey chicks. From there, we raise them in the brooder until they are old enough to graze the rest of their lives on pasture. If you've never gotten the chance to come out to the farm to see them on pasture yourself, watch our 5 minute video here. It really is an impressive sight to see!
