It's a challenge to know where to start in answering, "What do I recommend about Bub's Honey?"…read more Brian & Jenny contribute so much to their Wisconsin community in myriad ways through this labor of love. First up: the honey. It is easily one of the best I've ever tasted in a lifetime of honey-loving. It also happens to be 100% natural and untreated. Not a single "extra" is added at any step along the way. $15/jar and worth every penny. If you live in the College Ave. area of the historic district, you can even walk to their porch for a pickup. Next: the experience. I had no idea that Brian had hives at Eco Justice Center (& a nearby plot) until I meandered across a mention of a one-time mini-course he was giving during summer. Full disclosure: my interest in honey has always been on the consumer end not the production end. However, JO has been OBSESSED with the idea of learning beekeeping here or in Ireland for awhile now. Brian & Jenny were gracious enough to let me arrange a private "Bees 101" experience for his bday. I went along just for the fresh air but returned wholly captivated by beekeeping, myself. As a physics teacher, Brian's unique take on innovative twists and experiments for his hives is fascinating. What really got me, though, is his storytelling. I am all about the storytelling. Each hive has a different name and a completely different setup. Learning about the differences in personality and habits of Italian vs Russian bees... I haven't stopped reading about them since our visit. If you don't know much about the health benefits of consuming LOCAL honey, have yourself a Google-- especially if you suffer from allergies, hay fever, immune disorders... If you are an educator, yourself, consider reaching out to Brian about a field trip. If you are a grant-giver, please do consider learning more, too. This is an extraordinary asset to your community. Oh... and Jenny is a fellow NU Wildcat so #GoCats! This is located just an hour north of campus! Perfect fall trip! Just call ahead to make a date!

CITY SLICKER I have…read moredriven by here many times but i have never stopped. Recently I needed zucchini. We were having company over and I wanted to add grilled zucchini to the menu. When I stopped in I was amazed at the large selection of items they had. They also had a bunch of great looking zucchini. The normal price for them was $1.29 a pound but they were on special for 75 cents a pound. I grabbed 3 nice size ones and the total price was $1.83. Now that was a deal. I should have grabbed more. I was also able to meet the owner Chris. She was very friendly and helpful. She actually stopped in to drop off more zucchini. She was also there to see how the store was doing. We also started talking about cooking food and using fresh veggies. As she was talking to me she was looking through the peppers. She picked up two giant green peppers that were going bad and asked me if I could do something with them. I told her Yeah and she gave them to me. In fact, I took them home and roasted them on the fire pit. I also served them to our guests later that day and they loved them. In fact, the guests used them on there brats. I know roasted peppers are not a traditional topping but I must admit they tasted fantastic on the brats. Thanks Chris for giving me these and adding to our already delicious menu. This store is seasonal. I am not sure when they close down but I'm sure when it starts to get cold. I also learned that Chris is the daughter of the famous Jerry Smith who has the farm North of this location. So all of there fresh seasonal veggies come from there. Jerry Smith's farm has a great pumpkin patch for the kids to visit in October. If you haven't been there then I recommend you load up the Family and make a trip there. They also have a Corn Festival coming up in August too. Those events take place at the Jerry Smith Farm and not here. I also have a Yelp Review posted for that location. Okay back to Green Acres. The selection was huge. They had a variety of potatoes and onions, Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, regular tomatoes, 4 foot tall Dill, corn, hot peppers, green peppers, pickles, watermelon and zucchini. Everything looked amazing. In addition to the fresh vegetables this location also carried flats of flowers too. I really wanted the palm tree for $330.00 It looks so cool plus I would always feel like I'm on vacation if I owned it. So if you are driving down the road and you see a little shack at the side of the road it's Green Acres. It is the place to be. It's like farm living which is the life for me. Yeah I may get allergic from the smell of hay. I do love the country but I also love my big city too. There are some song lyrics mixed in there above...enjoy!!! See Green Acres makes me want to break out in song. I'm happy that people seem to be getting healthier. Places like this are helping us move in the right direction. We need to learn how to make food again and not out of a box but from scratch. It is not only rewarding to do this but it tastes amazing. So I appreciate Green Acres and I can not wait to stop back.
