The Story behind the 1927

We often receive the question - what's a 1927 Burger? And why is it called the 1927?

Our custom 1927 Burger goes above and beyond your standard ground patty. 

The 1927 is comprised of brisket, sirloin, rib tip, and chuck all ground and pressed together into a perfect half pound burger. 

In the early days of our farming career, Bryce and I took a break from the farm to enjoy a date night out together. We ordered the special pub burger that was on the menu that night and a few bites into discussing our farm dreams and plans for the next year, we tasted LOVE.

LOVE for the tenderness and exquisite flavor of that juicy pub burger patty, which we knew then, our customers deserved to taste, too.

And so, we worked with our processor to create this special patty, pressed with the superior quality and flavor that only a 100% grass-fed, regeneratively raised beef cattle can deliver, so that the families we serve could enjoy an incredible, elevated burger from a farmer they trust, as well.

But why 1927?

Our farm's beef legacy began in 1927; the year that Bryce's grandfather boldly left the dairy barns behind to start a new legacy of high quality beef that has continued through today. He bought his first herd of Hereford beef cattle in 1927, which Bryce's father continued, and we do, too, alongside other high quality grazing beef breeds like white parks and angus.

From Bryce's grandfather, to his father, to us, and onto our daughters and theirs' to come, our farm is focused on family, community, quality, and care; all of which is reflected in the exceptional flavor and value of our products.

Tina is a big fan of our 1927 Burgers. She says, "They are amazing! My husband and I love them, but make sure you take the care to cook them right. They are not a standard beef patty so don't just throw them on the George Foreman and walk away. Be sure to thaw them ahead of time and have the grill hot and ready before you set them on. And don't overcook them! Medium is best for this amazing burger!"

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.
