Here’s the weekly roundup from Watson Farms and your direct connection to your farmer. Enjoy the latest edition of Pasture Posts!

Have You Heard About Our Membership Program?

Join The Herd!

A couple years ago, we had the idea of allowing customers to opt in to a group that would be eligible for certain benefits. The concept was that this membership program would offer some extra value to our most loyal customers. It’s been a successful program so far, and we haven’t advertised it heavily, but let’s take a moment to look at some of the benefits you can capture by running with The Herd!

First of all, let’s clear up any confusion there might be about how it works:

  • The Herd Membership has nothing to do with our Pasture Picks Subscription Boxes. The Pasture Picks boxes are meat boxes that you subscribe to and receive monthly or every other month. The Herd Membership is a way to get even more value every time you shop with Watson Farms.
  • Herd Memberships are billed annually on an automatic recurring basis.
  • There are two levels of The Herd Membership: Basic and Premium. A Premium Membership receives all the benefits of a Basic plus free shipping and a coupon that can be used toward an apparel item.

Free Shipping

Probably the most sought-after benefit of a Herd Membership is free shipping. As mentioned, this benefit is exclusive to the Premium Herd Membership. Depending on how many orders you place in a year, this can be a very valuable benefit. Our shipping charge is $12.95 per delivery right now and a Premium Membership is currently $139.95/year so the free shipping alone would pay for the Membership in 11 orders not to mention all the other perks!

Free T-shirt

Another great benefit is receiving a $20 coupon that can be applied toward any apparel product in our Merchandise Category. We’ve got some nice items like hoodies, hats, and t-shirts and plan to add more! This benefit is only available to Premium Herd Members.

Exclusive Discount Pricing

At various times during the year, we have a surplus of certain items and one of our favorite things to do is offer these items to our Herd Members at a significant discount. This special pricing is available to Basic and Premium Members.

Right now, Herd Members are receiving 15% off the following items online:

  • Whole Broiler
  • Boneless/Skinless Breasts
  • Leg Quarters
  • Wings
  • Beef Brisket
  • Ground Beef
  • London Broil
  • Chuck Roasts
  • Mild Sausage
  • Hot Sausage
  • Ground Pork
  • Boston Butt

Access to Reserve Products

At times we have certain products that we simply don’t have enough of to offer to our entire customer list so we simply offer these to our Herd Members!

Exclusive News and In-stock alerts

Lastly, Herd Members enjoy being in the first group to receive an email when certain high-demand products are back in stock!

So if you want more value in your experience with Watson Farms be sure to join The Herd!

Tell a Friend!

It’s now easier than ever to Give $15 and Get $15 through our Referral Program. We don’t spend a lot of money of advertising, but rather we focus on producing products that people love and are willing to tell others about. So we depend on word of mouth to find new customers and ultimately to heal more land.

So in an effort to streamline this process we have made it easier to tell others (via email, Facebook, or Twitter) about Watson Farms. And it’s all automated on the backend, so you don’t have to rely on us to issue the store credits manually. Just head over to our Referrals Page and start sharing!

Check out this ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review:

“I have severe food allergies and have to be very selective on what I eat. Gave Watson Farms grass fed Gourmet Ground Beef and Grass fed Rib eye and Strip Steaks a try. Fabulous will be placing a larger order soon.”

We would greatly appreciate it if you would be kind enough to leave us a review.  It helps first-time customers purchase with confidence.

Thanks again for being partners in this endeavor of local, pasture-raised proteins that has truly transformed our farm.  We look forward to continuing this transition while serving you long into the future.

Sincerely,
The Watsons
