We will never know all of their names, all of their stories, or all of the loved ones left to mourn. But we know enough to be grateful that they were willing to give "the last full measure of devotion". This Memorial Day, we remember and are grateful. Our office will be closed in observance.

Warm weather means it's officially Patchwork grilling season! All summer long, call or stop by Patchwork for some incredible deals you won't want to miss!

For the entire month of May, buy 4 lbs. of (any flavor) Brats and get the 5th lb. FREE! That's 5 lbs. of local Patchwork Family Farm Brats for only $25!

From your backyard dinners and weekend gatherings this month, to your family reunions, graduation parties, and holiday get togethers, Patchwork not only provides a one-way ticket for an unforgettable meal, but also the great feeling and satisfaction of supporting the farmers, processors, and local businesses that call Missouri home.

When you choose Patchwork, you are doing MORE than just buying high quality meat. You are supporting real, local people, businesses, and processors— people who are our family, our friends, or our neighbors—they help keep our communities strong, our land prosperous, and our water clean. Purchasing Patchwork means that you are a part of that.

So remember, every summer occasion is the perfect time to grill with Patchwork and Grill with Purpose. Call, email or stop on by our office all May long to stock up on brats. We'll see you soon!

As we close out , we have to shout a THANK YOU from the rooftops for our toughest volunteers, who show up year after year, state after state, to make our booths possible. Come rain, beating snow, endless lines, or quiet crowds, these volunteers bring brats, ham steaks and pork chops to the masses with smiles and we can't say thank you enough. You're what makes an annual tradition feel like a family reunion.

"I volunteer my time to MRCC and Patchwork Family Farms because I care about family farms and where my food comes from. I volunteer at Farm Aid every year because of the friends I have made on this amazing 10-year journey." -Bryan Struebig. Be sure to say hi to him on the grills when you see him!

We couldn't have said it better ourselves. Thank you, Patchwork volunteers!

To celebrate , we want to lift up some of the volunteers who make our work both possible and powerful! First up, our Food Co-Op Leaders, who show up every month and make food deliveries in their community possible. Did you know that our co-ops are completely powered by volunteers? Many of our coop leaders have been part of it since the 80's or 90's! THANK YOU to all of our Co-Op leaders- we truly couldn't do it without you!

Perry's Full Service has been keeping our trucks filled up and on the roads for over 20 years, bringing family farm meat to stores, families and restaurants across mid-MO and St. Louis. Thanks for the always great service, friends!

Perry’s - Your Neighborhood Filling Station!
✨ WE PUMP YOUR GAS! ✨

We’re proud to be one of Columbia’s last remaining full service fueling stations. This means that when you pull up to our pumps, an attendant comes out, pumps your gas, washes your windshield, accepts payment, and can check your fluids and tire pressure all while you remain in your car!

A true nostalgic, Milton bell ringing, experience.

Come see us Monday - Friday! ⛽️👨🏻‍🔧

We're still keeping the love going here at Patchwork. Today, we donated nearly 40 pounds of hams and ground pork to our friends at CoMo Mobile Aid Collective thanks to our fundraiser last December. Make sure to check out all of the great work they do to not only feed but provide healthcare, clothing, transportation, pet care, respect and advocacy for our mid-MO neighbors in need.
