08/16/2026

This month has already brought a Farmers Market, Cars & Coffee and plenty of new faces through our doors.

Thank you to everyone who has attended an event, made a purchase, shared one of our posts or told someone about 99 Line Ranch Trading Co. Every bit of support helps us continue building and improving.

We’re closed today to spend Sunday with our family, but we’ll be back tomorrow morning at 7:00.

Thank you for continuing to show up for a small, family-owned business in Hamilton. 🤎

Sundays are for slowing down, family time, and getting ready for another week at the ranch.

We appreciate every single person supporting our small-town dream here in Hamilton, Kansas.

🔥☕ **VENDOR SPOTLIGHT: FIRE DEPARTMENT COFFEE** ☕🔥

At 99 Line Ranch Trading Co., we want the brands we carry to stand for something—and Fire Department Coffee certainly does.

Fire Department Coffee is a veteran-owned company run by active and retired firefighters. Its coffee is freshly roasted in Rockford, Illinois, and 10% of the company’s net proceeds supports injured and ill first responders.

That commitment to hardworking people and the first-responder community made Fire Department Coffee a natural fit for 99 Line Ranch.

Stop in, grab a cup and enjoy coffee with a purpose.

**99 Line Ranch Trading Co.**
📍 22 East Main Street, Hamilton
⏰ Monday–Friday | 7:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.

❄️ **DOES FREEZER BURN MEAN FOOD IS UNSAFE?**

Not necessarily.

Freezer burn is generally a **quality issue**, not a food-safety issue. It happens when frozen food is exposed to air, causing dry, discolored or leathery areas.

Help prevent it by:

• Using airtight freezer bags or containers
• Removing excess air before sealing
• Wrapping food securely
• Labeling packages with the contents and date
• Keeping your freezer at 0°F

Properly frozen food can remain safe, although its flavor and texture may decline over time.

Storing food properly can help prevent foodborne illnesses. Here are tips for safely storing food in your refrigerator, freezer, and cupboards.

☀️ **DON’T LET SUMMER HEAT SPOIL YOUR GROCERIES**

Perishable groceries should be refrigerated within **two hours** of purchasing them—or within **one hour** when the outside temperature is above 90°F.

A few helpful habits:

• Pick up refrigerated and frozen foods near the end of your shopping trip
• Go directly home after buying perishables
• Carry an insulated cooler or cold packs when traveling farther
• Don’t leave milk, eggs, meat or frozen products sitting in a hot vehicle

On a Kansas summer day, the inside of a parked vehicle heats up quickly. Plan ahead and keep your cold food cold.

🥚 **ARE YOU STORING YOUR EGGS IN THE RIGHT PLACE?**

Egg holders built into refrigerator doors may look convenient, but the door isn’t the best place to keep eggs.

USDA guidance recommends:

• Keeping eggs refrigerated in their original carton
• Placing them on a shelf in the main refrigerator compartment
• Avoiding the refrigerator door, where temperatures fluctuate more often
• Not washing commercially washed retail eggs again at home

The carton also helps protect the eggs and keeps them from absorbing odors from other foods.
