Sara Mosher of Mosher Farm & Gardens

I had the pleasure of getting to know Sara Mosher at her home on a rainy day in October. But even the dreary weather outside couldn’t keep Sara from smiling as she told me all about her family’s foray into entrepreneurship—Mosher Farm & Gardens, located just northwest of St. Michael on Jason Avenue.

Amore Ice Cream Shoppe, Elk River

Amore Ice Cream Shoppe is one of those names I’d heard from time to time in passing, but it wasn’t until a friend in Otsego started going there all. the. time. that I figured I’d better give it a try. All it took was just a taste, and I too fell in LOVE. (yes, pun totally intended)

101 Market in Otsego

(Originally published October 2017)

This week I wanted to take the kids somewhere to celebrate fall, but it’s been so rainy and windy lately that we’ve found it hard to do anything outdoors. It was definitely time for a visit to 101 Market in Otsego!

101 Market, started as a small greenhouse over 20 years ago and has expanded over the years to become a full-fledged home and garden center. In the fall, it’s a great local destination for family fun! In the greenhouses you’ll find row after row of pumpkins—all sizes and colors!—plus Indian corn, gorgeous mums, and lots of other fall decor.
