I had the best time visiting with Kristin Borzynski!
I've been to their store, and every time I find something new and exciting.
It truly is a place like no other. It's the best of many worlds,
farmers market, gift shop, bakery, speciality foods store and much more.
The 3 words Kristin chose to describe their store, are -
Welcoming (most definitely!)
Delightful (spot on!)
and Delicious (to all senses!)
We visited up in the loft.
(all the times I've been there, I hadn't even noticed the loft)
It was warm and cozy, a wonderful place to get something from the bakery, go up and read and enjoy the homey, coziness of it all. What a wonderful escape from the crazy pace our lives keep.
They grow as much as their produce as possible, in the fall, it is very plentiful! They bring in other seasonal fruits and veggies, and the quality is awesome!
This year marked their 20th anniversary as a store. Before having the store, they had a rich heritage of farming, primarily cabbage. They have many fields here in WI, but also in Georga, Texas and Illinois.
I grew up in the country, surrounded by cabbage fields, so we had somewhat of a connection :)
The popcorn they carry, is grown just down the road - talk about local! I love that!! Years ago, my girls had braces and could only have "hulless" popcorn. 1st question was 'what the heck is hulless'? We found out and I've been somewhat of a popcorn snob ever since. I didn't know I could get it locally, so I was ordering it online out of Port Washington. One day while visiting Borzynski's, I noticed they carried the same kind! I was so excited! They I found out it was grown just down the road, way awesome! My favorite 2 kinds are baby white or yellow rice (small kernel like regular white popcorn), and orchard blossom (big kernel like yellow). Good stuff! Give it a try!
Besides the website, they can also be found on Facebook.
I encourage you to stop on down the road and check them out. The gift shop is simply wonderful, and the smells coming out of the bakery, yum!
What are you waiting for? Go! :)

Cabbage soup anyone?
I remember when they had a little 20 by 20 (something like that) building they worked out of.
Use to stop out there and get their sweet corn and tomatoes.
SER, the original building is actually part of the current structure, it's pretty awesome. Maybe not ideal but it was part of the deal to make it happen. If you go up in the loft, you can see where the original part is within it. Neat place!
Drew and I always say we are going to stop in there but never do. He has been there but I have never been. I am going to tell him to stop there very soon. I love the story here!
Very nice article, Liz. Like SER, we used to stop when it was a roadside stand. Have never been to the new building. I look forward to giving it a try.
I've been there a few times, but not in awhile.
I've taken the girls to the fairy festival the last couple of times we've been there visiting.. It's good fun and I've always enjoyed their store.. beautiful things..
During the Halloween season, they have this HUGE corn maze. It's so big it'll take a person a couple of hours to get through, that is if you don't get lost.
