Back to School, Back to Beef: Stocking the Freezer for a Busy Fall
Summer always seems to disappear overnight.
One minute we're staying up late, grilling outside, and soaking up every last bit of sunshine. The next, we're packing backpacks, getting back into routines, and wondering how we're supposed to get everyone fed between school, work, practices, and everything else on the calendar.
That's where a well-stocked freezer comes in.
Back to school doesn't have to mean complicated dinners
Fall brings a lot of good things — football games, cooler evenings, family dinners, and getting back into a routine. But let's be honest: the evenings can get busy.
Having quality beef already in the freezer means you always have a starting point for dinner.
Ground beef can become tacos, burgers, pasta sauce, chili, or a quick skillet meal. Steaks can go straight on the grill or into a cast-iron pan. And our beef sticks make an easy grab-and-go snack for busy afternoons.
It's not about making every meal from scratch or having the perfect dinner every night.
It's about making life a little easier.
What we keep stocked in our freezer
If we were stocking up for a busy fall, these are some of the Herd 77 staples we'd want on hand:
Ground Beef
The ultimate weeknight staple. Keep a few packages in the freezer and you've got the base for countless easy meals.
Beef Sticks
Perfect for after-school snacks, road trips, lunch boxes, or those moments when everyone suddenly says they're starving.
Burger Patties
Because sometimes dinner needs to be easy. Pull them from the freezer, fire up the grill, and dinner is handled.
Steaks
For the nights when you have a little more time — or when you just want to make an ordinary Tuesday feel a little more special.
Beef Bacon
Breakfast, sandwiches, burgers… There really isn't a bad time for beef bacon.
A freezer full of real food
At Herd 77, we're passionate about knowing where our food comes from.
Our beef comes from our family farm and is raised right here in the Midwest. We believe you should be able to know the people behind the food you're feeding your family.
That's why we started Herd 77 in the first place — to create a more direct connection between family farms and the families buying their beef.
When you order from Herd 77, you're not just filling your freezer.
You're supporting a family farm.
