Cold Weather Calls for Chili

Cold weather calls for Fredericksburg Farms Chili…no beans! Around here we enjoy cooking up several crockpots of chili for all of our employees on a cold day using our Fredericksburg Farms Chili mixes. Add several pans of cornbread and you’re talking something tasty that can warm you up all day. Our mixes are easy to use and taste like you have spent all day in the kitchen making this goodness. Choose one to make for yourself, Texas Trail Drive Chili Mix, Venison Chili Mix, or Chili Verde Mix…you’ll be glad you did!

Stock show chickens…long live 4-H!

Each January is Jr. Stock show time in Gillespie County, and each junior participant has his or her animal entry looking the best they can. Fredericksburg Farms is proud to be a sponsor of the Gillespie County Jr. Livestock Show. Our kids showed pigs and steers when they were young and now our granddaughter, Amelia, shows chickens. Twenty-five little yellow fluffy chicks were picked up the week of Thanksgiving and now they are all fairly large white feathered “broilers.” They have been fed special foods, watered daily, encouraged to walk around to build muscle, and had their climate-controlled chicken house...

Are you ready for the New Year?

As you approach the New Year are you into resolutions or reflections? In my lifetime I have made more resolutions that I care to remember, some I have kept but most fell by the side after a few months. So, with that in mind, I have changed from resolutions to reflections at New Years. I reflect on the many blessings that have happened in my life during the year and on the many people that have graced my path on this most current trip around the sun. Happy New Year and cheers to 2024!

It’s almost Christmas and the Elves are tired!

There is sooooo much to do!!! It’s only 5 days until Christmas and everyone seems to be going full speed planning holiday parties, baking, shopping for presents, and decorating everything in sight! At Fredericksburg Farms we have been doing all of these things all while working diligently each day getting those Christmas gifts you ordered sent to their destinations on time. In the midst of this “busy-ness,” let us all take a collective breath, put down our phones, set the elf hats aside, and remember the reason for the season. Joy to the world the Lord is come, let every...
