KA-Ranch Unboxing
March 5th, 2013
I’ve got a great friend down yonder in Texas land. His name is Michael Farmer and he runs a company called KA-Ranch BBQ Company. I got hooked up with him a couple years ago when he offered to send me some rub samples. The package arrived and he had included a handful of Texan style recipes and a tshirt! His products made a great impression on me and I enjoyed the stuff he sent me (except I never could get that XL shirt to shrink enough to really fit me. 🙂
Since I started publishing StoryQue, I asked Michael if he’d like to contribute to the magazine. We had sort of lost track of each other, but he was eager to help with the magazine. In the February issue, we published his Dr Pepper Brisket Recipe and in the upcoming March issue, we’re running the story behind his new “David’s Overall Rib Rub” and step by step instructions on how to smoke ribs for beginners.
Michael was kind enough to send me another package of goodies and it arrived today Priority Mail. Everything was packed very well with styrofoam peanuts and bubble wrap. He gave me a pint of Fort Worth Rib and Brisket Sauce, a one pound bag of David’s Overall Rib Rub, a glass shaker each of Wild Willy’s No 1derful Rub and Trail-Dust (these two didn’t have labels yet).
The rib rub is pretty spicy and so is the Wild Willy’s. I am looking forward to using them tomorrow on my ribs. The seasoned salt is, like it sounds, a seasoned salt, but has a fresh bold flavor I love. The sauce is very typical Texan, I would say. It’s got a great pepper flavor and is very mild. I ate some with my beef roast sandwich tonight and it was great.
The box came Priority Mail and arrived in good shape.
Everything was well packaged.
The glass shakers were wrapped in bubble wrap to keep anything from breaking.
The goodies Michael sent me.
I feel like the products I’ve seen from KA-Ranch are well branded. They have a great look and feel that matches barbecue. For example, some of the seasonings come in tins, great for gifts. The shakers I’ve seen are classy. The logo and design of the labels is simple, but has the depth of character needed to draw you in.
In summary, I am honored to help Michael and KA-Ranch spread the word about their amazing seasonings and other barbecue products. If you place an order with them, use the coupon code storyque10 to get 10% off your order.
