On Wisconsin! Blueberry Farm

In keeping with our "Wisconsin eats" tradition, we took our annual summer trip to Maiden Rock to replenish our blueberry and black currant supply. This year's unusual weather (wet May, humid June, insanely hot July) resulted in an exceptional - and early - blueberry crop. Lucky for us!

We may have gone a bit overboard on the blueberries this year, but can you ever really have too many antioxidants? We'll just make more pancakes!

This noise contraption was supposed to keep the birds away.
Blueberries are worth the hassle, though.

Blueberry fields forever!

On Wisconsin! Pizza Farm

It took me awhile to admit it, but Wisconsin has been a gem of a neighbor (politics notwithstanding). We are undeniably lucky to live on the border of two amazing states, and we are enthusiastically taking full advantage of the opportunities. 

This has been the summer of Wisconsin eats. One of our personal favorites is the pizza farm, which absolutely fulfills all the delicious and pastoral connotations that those two words provide.

 

 

This is a working farm, so it's best to place your order and get out of the way. On a good night, you will be lucky to get your pizza in under an hour. Bring some drinks and appetizers for the wait and feel free to wander the grounds. Honestly, though, the time flies when you're in good company.

Adam wanted me to mention that this beer
tastes much better than his face lets on. Surely.
