My kiddos are 2 and 4, and we also went with some cousins who range ages 7-10. The takeaway: this place is nice for all ages. My first impression was how well-kept Kelley's is! For being a farmstead, you'd assume the space to be a bit more untidy/dirty, but they do a fantastic job. We entered into the initial barn where we found a bunch of baby farm animals! There were plenty of staff members about helping kids take turns holding animals if they chose to. Oh and there is a big hand-wash station, which is of course appreciated. As we wandered on to the next space, we found tons of outdoor yard-like games and activities - everything from hula-hoop'ing horses and duck tik-tac-toe, to outdoor bowling lanes and ride-on trikes. Safe to say our kids were stoked! Another bonus: the huge corn pit. It was so busy while we were there, but it's big enough that there was still tons of space for kids to all play at once. It was filled with toys, trucks, and buckets too. The best kind of sensory overload. We then wandered into the next/lower barn, and to our surprise: tons more animals to interact with! Cute chickitties, little pigs & mama pigs, goats, chickens, the list goes on. It was kind of a shock how well-mannered all the animals, meaning at no point did it feel unsafe to interact with them. Overall a wonderful day out a Kelley's Farmstead. I definitely recommend checking it out and supporting the nice family that owns and runs the place!

The Winery was a pleasant stop for my wife and I after we had spent several hours in the Kettle…read moreMoraine State Forest. On this October day, the shop had a wall of preserves and wine, a large table covered with several varieties of apples, shelves with several tempting chocolates and candy, baked goods and a nice selection of locally produced gourmet fudge (you will have to see them; I thought they were decorated cheesecakes of several favors!). I agree with an earlier post that the service is great. The gentleman who answered my questions was extremely kind and patient. And he volunteered to warm my apple fritter, too! Unlike an earlier post, I think that their honey crisp apples are fine. I have a sweet tooth and eat honey crisps regularly, so they can't be lacking sugar entirely! They aren't quite as crisp as the apples that we buy in a grocery store, but they are every bit as juicy! For such an isolated shop, everything was wonderful and very well maintained. Stop by their shop, enjoy some food and let us know what YOU think!

Farming the way it should be. Their soil is treated gently and with respect to the environment…read more Their little store sells organic produce and organic, grass fed meat (I'm a vegetarian; but I still appreciate their philosophy) One of the only places to buy raw milk. They get around laws banning the sale of raw milk by charging a small membership fee. You can also order bulk organic rice, beans and lentils if you order in advance. It's a bit of a drive from Manitowoc; but this great place is well worth the effort. Unfortunately they lost the chance to actually buy the acreage; and they are moving the farm to East Troy in December. This move will put them too far away for us to travel. I love their respect for the earth; and I will greatly miss going there. Just so you all know, Grassway is opening their new store in East Troy on February 2nd, 2018

We visited Grassway Organics for Pizza on the Farm last Friday! We heard about this place through…read morea friend who raved about it. The pizza was made to order and even cooked in a wood fire! The ingredients were fresh and organic, and our pizza was awesome! Be sure to bring disposable plates or anything you might want to accompany your pizza. We saw plenty of other groups that brought in their own salad, appetizers and wine! Oh, and feel free to bring chairs and/or a blanket. They do have a handful of picnic tables but they go fast. It was such a neat experience with a band and all! Will definitely go back. They even have a cute, little store with organic products.

I asked the cashiers if they had ever had them and they both said yes and described the berries as the texture of a grape mixed with the flavor of a kiwi and a strawberry. I was impressed with not only their product knowledge but also their enthusiasm- one of the cashiers was so excited to tell me about this strange and unique fruit that he encouraged me to wash the berries in the sink they have near the front door so he could see my face after trying it. So I did and he was right!! It tasted just like strawberries kiwis and grapes- so refreshing to go into a grocery store where people are passionate about what they do, kind, and helpful! Also their curry chicken salad in the deli is amazing, they offer lots of local products, and they have a great selection of supplements that are natural so you don't have to worry about weird fillers that conventional grocery stores often have on their shelves. I say stop in and support this small business because every time I visit the co-op, I leave with a smile on my face from chatting with the lovely staff and take home delicious healthy food!

It is so nice to go to one store instead of going to 3 -4 different places. From the healing clay mask I use on my face and hair, to the raw dairy I need for my kids, delicious local sourdough bread, raw local honey, natural supplements and to top it all off the best produce I've found in Oshkosh. I was so grateful that I could buy organic berries that were almost half the price of Festival and looked and tasted amazing. I've been there 3 times in 4 days and I'll be a regular from now on. Great job to the team over there!

If you find yourself in Kiel, Roeck's Bakery is 100% a must. A staple of Kiel since the late 1800s,…read moreRoeck's Bakery is a fourth-generation family owned and run bakery. The bakery isn't large, however there is a plethora of baked goods to select from. They also give 50% off on day old baked goods. Roeck's Bakery supplies many restaurants in Kiel with their delicious baked goods. My nephew loves their loaves of wheat bread. I must recommend their blueberry cupcake with cream center. I do not usually like cream in my cupcakes because typically the creams have a funny taste. At the insistence of my sister, I got the cupcake. I am so happy that I did! The cream is fresh and doesn't have any additives or flavors. Roeck's has redefined the cupcake! If you are not a cream person, like I was, maybe try Roeck's! You'll be presently surprised! Pro tip: go early! They are popular and sell out of baked goods by early to mid afternoon.
