My iced caramel latte with oat milk and parfait for breakfast were both delicious! Legendary has the coolest vibe- bottles of wine for sale and a cozy bourbon tasting room in the back. The owner and the servers were all friendly and showed us the bourbon room- which has great ambiance and would be a fantastic after work stop on a chilly fall evening. I am looking forward to visiting again soon as they have bourbon tastings, tequila master classes, wine tastings, and music performances listed on their social media. This is a great short journey if you are in the Springfield area!

Brewery with an amazing story in Assumption. It literally burned to the ground, but is now once…read moreagain open, but hours are limited. 1905 Brewery had a big fire a few years ago and closed permanently. Even though it completely destroyed the building, it wasn't the end. This story inspired us to come to check it out. After poking around in Decatur awhile, we came for the awesome beer. It's kind of a ways to get to Assumption, on some lonely highway. The restaurant in town, DJ's has some of this on tap. Because this place is only open Fridays and Saturdays, you can go there when the brewery is closed. The brewery was open though. It's about $5 a pint. They have a pretty large variety. I had the 1905 Citra. This is an IPA, and wasn't crazy hoppy. Has no food except maybe chips. They however allow customers to bring in food from the restaurants around here. Good beer. It's also a good story and gives this rinky dink town of Assumption something to be proud of. This is worth a drive to check out what they have become even with a setback.

In fact, it had the complete opposite effect on them; from viewing the trees, given an apple growth lesson, learning how apples are pollinated and viewing the bees, learning how the apples are sorted and viewing the large washing/sorter machine and seeing how the apples are stored in the large refrigerator. We enjoyed our lunch while eating apple donuts and drinking apple slushes. We spent time at the playground before departing back to school. The Okaw Valley Orchard staff will tell you exactly what is needed, what to expect during your outing and what you'll need to make the trip an awesome experience for you and your students! Be sure to call in August for September or October field trip dates

Absolutely love this shop! While roaming around the towns of Arthur and Sullivan, I found this…read moreOrchard on Yelp and had to stop by to check it out. It was so exciting to see homemade jams, freshly picked peaches and cider. I ended up getting the cutest soy eucalyptus candle, a bunch of ciders, a measurement shot glass, kettle popcorn and organic bug repellent. All things I never knew I needed, until now :) I wish this shop was bigger and more expansive but I'd be in trouble because I'd end up buying more than I bargained for. The home made cider was incredible. They made it into a slushee and it was so good, ended up getting two cups full and then two for the road. It was also neat that the cider didn't need to be refrigerated, making it so much easier to transport cross country. The staff here was also super friendly and welcoming which also is an added plus. Highly recommend stopping here if you ever find yourself in Sullivan, Illinois!

Just outside Assumption, Illinois is Cypress Grove Farm, where "belties" - a traditional Scottish…read morebreed of beef cattle properly called the Belted Galloway - are raised. Cypress Grove has a farm store as well, and as of 2019, a side business as a brewery. A bit of digging through online newspaper articles showed that the owners were partners in the original iteration of 1905 Brewing Company in town, but left the partnership when that bar burned down in 2019. Now they make beer out on their farm, offering it by the cup, crowler, and growler in their farm store. Plenty of picnic tables and lawn chairs were spread under large oak trees on the lawn.They have food trucks on the premises on select weekends; for our visit, just brats and chips were available, plus meat and cheese from the farm store. Guests are warmly greeted, and welcome to stroll around the property to see the fields and cattle. During our COVID-era visit, masks were worn indoors and parties were safely distanced outside. The beers we tried were excellent, including an Irish Red, a "Trials and Tritical-ations" experimental pale ale, and a couple sours. We took home some crowlers, including a "Pork Snout Milk Stout" which really is infused with pork... interesting, but not for me! Cypress Grove was definitely worth driving a few miles off our planned trek through Christian County. It's a lovely setting with friendly folks and great brews.
