5 Tips to Make the Most of Your Drive to the Farm
Whether you are driving fifteen minutes or an hour and fifteen minutes, making the drive to the farm can feel overwhelming at times. There’s no amount of poetic musings or lovely sunsets that can replace time you just don’t have. If you have ever said, “I don’t have time to cook, let alone drive to the farm to pick up” these tips are for you. 1. Write out your weekly menu. I will be going into more detail on this in our next blog post, but if you don’t go into your week with a plan for what you are going to cook, it’s likely not going to happen. Dinnertime will come and you will have nothing thawed and no ingredients on hand. Another night of sandwiches and cereal will come and go. Carve out thirty minutes, write out your activities for the week, and plan your menu around them. A simple menu will save you time and stress later on in your week. 2. Simplify your stops. Once your menu is written, your grocery list is practically already made. If you are already coming for milk, what else could you add to your order from your shopping list? You’ll save time and gas money by making fewer stops. Plus, your meat is already bagged for you. Let us know what you are fixing and/or how many people you are trying to feed, and we’ll find the right items for your menu. If you say, “I’m wanting to make cubed steak. There are four of us, and my husband and son are pretty big eaters,” we’ll know to give you two to three packages. If it is a meal for just you and your husband, one package might do. 3. Plan your trip around other errands. If you are already making your grocery runs a certain day of the week, it makes sense to schedule your farm pickup for the same day when you are already out and about. Many of you like to come to the farm after you run your other errands because you say the farm brings you a peace you don’t get at the grocery store. A friend told me a couple of years ago, “It’s not stressful to come to the dairy.” Yesterday, a friend said she felt a weight lifted off of her shoulders as she walked up the store room ramp. While it may not seem like the most practical advice, take a minute to stop and listen to the sounds of the farm, give thanks for some of your blessings, and head home ready to feed your family. 4. Make fewer trips. If you are coming to the farm every week and that is too much for your schedule, an every other week order might be a good option. Better yet, find a friend who is also a Creamy Hills Dairy customer and take turns picking up for one another. If you picked up for each other every other week, you would only have to drive to the farm once a month. We have several customers with standard orders set where they pick up hamburger for a friend every other week, and it works nicely for them. 5. Redeem your time. When was the last time you called your grandma or that friend you haven’t seen in months? Your drive to the farm is a great time to schedule that call in. Or what about the book you have been trying to get through for over a year? Find it on audio and give it a listen. We even have some customers who pick up their order after date night. A sunset drive to the farm- how romantic is that? If you are not married, bring a friend along to catch up. Now, if only we had coffee for you when you arrived. That would be practical. For those of you who love your regular drive to the farm, what would you add to the list?
