When you find the perfect spot to kickstart Mother When you find the perfect spot to kickstart Mother’s Day weekend! 

Grab lunch and gifts inside the cafe. Everything is delicious! Make sure you get a scoop of ice cream or a scone to go! The new Lemon Bar goat cheese is perfect for summer salads. 

Then head outside to see the goats and chickens. The kids LOVE watching the goats climb up the silo. There are plenty of cute photo opt opportunities. 

The Greenhouse is full of plants, but also unique gifts and beautifully designed planters. You’ll find cool antiques used as planters as well as all kinds of terracotta pots! 

Such a gem in Wisconsin. It reminds me of a mini Magnolia of the Midwest! 🐐🌿
