Not to be missed! The jam and sandwiches are made in house and I ended up going every day for lunch. Their sweatshirts are also made in fair trade factories (probably all their clothes, but I only bought a sweatshirt).
Ehlers General Store and Deli - Cornucopia, WI
We spent a couple days here on a roadtrip to New Mexico. Rooted was an absolute delight! It was my first time in Kansas as well. I was really taken with how beautiful the state is! Rolling hills and little ponds were all along our route.
Rooted Fair Trade | Manhattan KS
A wonderful winery!! We spent a lovely 4th of July weekend in the area a couple years ago. The grounds are beautiful and calming, the wine was good, and so were the snacks! People were also kind to help us carry things back and forth since we had the...
Fenn Valley Home – Fenn Valley Vineyards
This place is so fun! It's a restaurant in an art gallery. Or maybe a gallery in a restaurant :) Either way, a great way to spend a couple hours. Especially since the twins couldn't walk yet so we didn't have to worry about them breaking anything LOL...
Root Cafe’
I love all things Scandinavian and I love when I walk into a store and the vibe is just right. This store hit both of those marks. Everything just felt right. I loved wandering through and trying not to buy absolutely everything :)
Joanne's Scandinavian
They weren't doing dine in at the time due to it being the tail end of the pandemic, but the take was STILL SO GOOD. I didn't have any bad mexican food in NM, but this definitely ranks towards the top of a very long list.
Casa de Herrera Restaurant

Calliope | Visit Madrid, NM
I could spend hours walking through all the small shops in Santa Fe. This is just one of many I loved seeing.
Shops - La Fonda on the Plaza

A year round Christmas store is JUST THE PLACE FOR ME! I love love Christmas and I loved this store so much I wanted to move in. I bought a handmade ornament of a traditional Icelandic sweater. We reminisce about our trip every time we put it on the ...
Home - Jólabúðin
Sorry haters! The internet lied when it said everything on the southside is a violent wasteland. This is a beautiful, woman owned, black owned, independent bookshop! Must visit. Must buy all the books.
Da Book Joint: Chicago's African American Book Source
The food was mouth watering. The service exceptional. Go if you ever get the chance!
Food — Salt of the Earth
This is a beautiful winery. Delightful grounds, good wine, and indoor seating with a greenhouse effect. Perfect for the winter months!
Welcome to Glass House - Glass House Winery
Hands down the best chocolate I've ever had. The shop is small in size but big in flavor! (Omg that sounds like such a corny marketing line). I wish they shipped to the US!
