My sister and I went to the Scandia Farmers Market on its opening day and had a great time! In the…read morepast, the Farmers Market was held at Gammelgarden Museum (across the street from the Scandia Community Center). However, due to COVID-19, it is now at the Community Center to ensure that there's enough physical distance between vendors and customers. We were welcomed by Gammelgarden Museum's intern who showed us where to wash our hands before entering the market. There were clear in and out directions to ensure an easy flow of customers. Customers and vendors all are required to wear masks, making this a safe and healthy place for people (especially those who have underlying health conditions and/or are seniors) to shop for produce, baked goods, meat, wild rice, plants, and crafts. There were a variety of vendors on Opening Day, and it was so much fun to visit each one and see what was being offered. Despite not having music or entertainment, or food to eat on site (because of the CDC guidelines), it was still a festive and welcoming place to be, and a fun way to see neighbors and friends. We are looking forward to going back to the Farmers Market again next week!

Absolutely banging food!!! So so delicious. Award winning cheese maker definitely knows how to put…read moreout cheese curds - super light batter really allows for the cheese to shine. Best Bloody Mary I've had in a long time, perfect balance of salty, spicy and a little tangy. Reuben sandwich was great and the beer cheese soup was perfect. We came with a party of 12, 6 being kids, on a Saturday for lunch and was greeted with kind and accommodating staff who made our party feel welcomed even though we're a little feral. Decor is very kitschy with a mixture of antiques and trophies and ribbons from the owner's cheese accomplishments. And we visited in October so LOtS of Halloween. 10/10 would visit anytime in in the area. We may even visit again tomorrow. They have Pulltabs and a slot machine too.

They have an award-winning burger, menu, delicious Wisconsin drinks - like the Brandi old-fashioned and bloody Mary. I enjoyed a burger, onion rings, and an old-fashioned. I love to sit at the bar because they have really awesome friendly staff. The other great thing about this place is they have a huge selection of their own cheeses. They make nearly all of them in house and have won a lot of awards because they're absolutely delicious. My favorite is the feta cheese and I will go out of my way if I need some.def recommend!!

This was our first visit to Baker Orchard. One of our favorite activities in the Fall is to visit…read morethe apple orchards. Let me tell you about Baker Orchard. Baker is location in Centuria, WI. The last census for Centuria listed a population of 948. The day we visited, I bet most of the town was there! Baker Orchard is set up a little different than any orchard that we have visited. There are a couple of small parking areas on their land which is very scenic and surrounded by trees. Then across the street there is a large field that holds much more parking. This is where we parked. You then take a short walk from the field, across the street and down a path to where all the fun is. Its kind of enchanting especially on cool crisp Fall day. The day that we attended they were also hosting an art festival. There were additional venders with food and items. The first we noticed was a small sitting area around a fire pit. I love the smell of a wood fire outside. The only thing that would have made that better is if I had some hotdogs and stick! One thing we really liked about Baker is how open the Orchard is. Other orchards we have visited, everything is inside a building. At Baker the apples, cider and some food was set up on the porch. The lady that helped us was very friendly and allowed us to sample several apples including one special to their orchard. We picked up plenty of goodies. One tip for visitors. Bring a bag to help carry your goods. It helps when you find more than you can carry with your own hands. There are tours available, pick your own apples, hiking trails and more. One of the more beautiful and scenic orchards that we have visited.

Couldn't figure it out or it wasn't working so I went inside to ask staff if they would kindly show me how to use it . When I walked up too two employees they were talking and pretend to ignore me for awhile and I had to stand there like an idiot. They finally acknowledged me and I said "can someone please come help me with the air pump don't know if I'm using correctly"? "No it probably isn't working because it's cold " at that point I broke down in tears and they knew it and didn't care didn't help nothing. I can't believe people that are employed there can't even help with their own pump. they can't even come out to check and see.. how awfully rude and mean. Usually I love quick trips but I will NEVER give this one my business again. Complete strangers who didn't even work their were more helpful and compassionate than staff I spoke to inside... Such a disappointment.
