This review is only for their signature Dunbarton blue cheese, which we just got around to trying…read more It's not about their business or culture or practices which I'm sure are perfectly fine. This cheese is pretty expensive at $20 for 8 oz, and unfortunately like an expensive wine, I didn't particularly like it given the price point. So my advice on this one is to know what your taste buds like. This blue cheese was quite strong in flavor being quite sharp and salty. It was the only premium Wisconsin cheese the son gifted to us that I wouldn't have again. But don't let that deter you if you're a strong blue cheese fan, this could be your cheese. It's just not mine. It was nice to give it a go nonetheless.

We were traveling through the area and were excited to see that this store was open on a Sunday…read more We were interested in buying some of their Dunbarton Blue cheese which had recently been featured on the Wisconsin episodes of Top Chef. After sampling a couple of other cheeses we bought a few other items including their cheese curds. The worker was helpful and friendly. There were other items to be had but we stuck with the cheese.

My girlfriend and I visited this family run organic farm and had a really pleasant time walking…read morethrough the seeding greenhouse, the fields just beginning to sprout, and the mushroom forest. We sampled spring onions that stayed with me for the rest of the night reminding me of the simple beauty of great produce, vibrant spinach, amazingly peppery arugula, and sorrel w/ a blast of citrus. The farmers and their interns were very friendly and seemingly happy to have visitors. We are really looking forward to becoming members of the CSA and receiving amazing, locally grown produce every week. Top notch concept and execution, everyone should support something like this in their area.

Found out about this out of the way brewery close to Lena. It certainly is worth getting to…read more Wishful Acres Farm was growing fruits and vegetables. After a while they chose to also brew beers. They use hops from the crops, it rhymes. Coming here the first time it was kind of confusing. It's a long way from anything else. The entrance to the farm looks like you're going to someone's house. A parking area is in front. This is basically just an open area on grass. A little walk to the structure that kind of looks like a white barn. Inside it's a lot bigger than it looks. Has a few rooms including a patio in the back. In front there's a few tables. A limited but great variety of beers. It's about $6 a pint. Best one we had of these was the Overcast. This is a Hefeweizen, which has banana and clove flavors and is classic stuff. It's about $1 for potato chips. There's also popcorn. Great place for hyper local beers. It's limited space making it not a place for a big group or parties, and there's a few snacks like popcorn. They're open Fridays, and weekends.

The Marions have a special gift for authentic hospitality. Home-cooked, straight-from-the-fields food is delicious and worth the trip alone. Just this morning we had homemade goat cheese, sweet and savory waffles, fresh-laid eggs with Swiss chard, and homegrown sausage with gravy. We always look forward to scratching the goats on the nose, or playing with the barn kittens, or hearing someone pick a guitar by the campfire. Our family has been visiting here from Chicago for years, and we come back whenever we possibly can. Without fail, when we turn into the long gravel drive here, our kids start shouting for joy.
