Alright my people!!!! Pay attention, read to the end! Let's come together for our youth!

Granger FFA has over 50 new members this school year!!!! And they are placing in contests and winning banners already! (I may be bias but my daughter Hailey is ABSOLUTELY rocking it as a first year ag teacher!)

That means a LOT of new FFA official jackets! As offical dress is required for some competitions! Especially the big ones like State and Nationals!

We've got TWO students that NEED official jackets and need the community to come through and help them!

Who wants to sponsor a kid and their FIRST FFA Jacket!!!!

Jackets are $65 or $90 depending on the jacket the youth needs. We have figured out the easiest way to do this will be to do electronic gift cards straight to the official FFA site, and emailed directly to the advisor to order the PERSONALIZED jackets these kids will cherish for a long time!

Sponsorship pledged by Ben Bruce owner of Sausage Daddy (https://www.facebook.com/groups/366675638604308/)

Sponsorship pledged Cindy Stephens the director of Freedom Pantry For Veterans

UPDATE: Those first two came in so fast lets surprise the advisor and sponsor a few more jackets before her planning period and she gets to see this again!

Sponsor Best Built Construction, LLC
Sponsor Jackie Stout

Sponsor: *********THIS COULD BE YOUR BUSINESS TAGGED HERE*******

If it's not on your heart to sponsor, can you share this post?

AND just for fun, let's some of you FFA Alum show off the jackets you still probably own! Let's so those old photos of you in your jacket or the jacket itself!

FUN FACT did you know these celebrities were FFA Alumni?

Story time: because we are human, we've made mistakes and we own them when we do......

Sunnyside Meat Packers opened September 1st 2020. Less than a month into our business being open we had a malfunction in our smoker leading to a fire in the smoker which fortunately did not leave the smoker but it did ruin the smoker. We quickly replaced it and got smoking again however we did not have time to do a few practice rounds as we had with the original, because we had people's actual meat hanging and ready to process and we needed to get it done.

Unfortunately we over smoked some cure in that first round.

One of the customers effected by this was given the option of a partial refund or a discount on his next order. He decided to take me up on that. April 2023 he took me up on that. I confirmed cure was good after that and he made another appointment (unfortunately wildlife got his animals before we could).

We thought he was happy, Until today when he hit our comment section with how bad we screwed him out of his three full pigs...... Yes we did make a mistake, we made an offer we thought concerned the issue and he agreed at the time...... Now SIX YEARS after the mistake he says we screwed him?

Be honest—what’s your take on yellow fat on beef?

​For a long time, standard supermarket culture taught people that fat needed to be pure white, and anything yellow got written off as old or lower grade. But if you've worked with pastured cattle or grass-finished beef, you know that yellow tint usually just means the animal was out on good fresh forage packing in beta-carotene.

​It definitely brings a different flavor to the table—richer, more earthy, and a lower melting point—versus the mild, sweet profile of white fat from grain-fed beef.

​Do you actively raise beef for that yellow fat, or do you prefer traditional white fat? Curios to hear how everyone cooks it or if you notice a big taste difference.

Public Service Announcement:

​This year, we’ve easily become one of the most inspected shops in the valley. A specific group of people has filed numerous complaints, and no matter how many times authorities confirm we are in compliance, they continue to raise new concerns. All documents I share are directly from public records requests......

​While many of these complaints haven't gone public, the sheer volume can start rumors. We prefer not to focus on the negativity, but we want to be completely transparent with our community.
​If you ever hear a rumor, please stop by and ask us directly! We are always happy to show you around and share our official inspection and investigation reports proving that we operate fully in compliance.

​Under state law, individuals have the right to file complaints......even if some complainants haven't stepped foot on our property in years or ever.

However, as local health authorities (YHD) and agricultural departments (WSDA) have repeatedly verified through unannounced site visits and reviews, we continue to meet all proper regulatory frameworks regarding our goods, meat shares, and operations.

​Thank you to our wonderful customers for your continued support!
