Dining

As a nationally renowned leader in organic farming and conveniently located near vast fields of traditional and organic family farms, Viroqua’s love of the land and all that comes from it create a food scene here that is unlike any other. The same fresh ingredients found in many of our local restaurants also grace the finest menus in Chicago, Madison, Milwaukee and the Twin Cities.

        “Viroqua creates the perfect medium for culinary creations that meet or exceed what you can find in larger metropolitan areas.” – Kristine Da Prato, Education Coordinator, Vernon County Farm to School

Thanks to our fresh take on food, it makes sense that Viroqua has been recognized by national publications and websites for our food culture and quality dining experiences. Viroqua has created a model for the rest of the food world, and we hope you come and enjoy it soon.

        “I cook here because in my travels as a chef, this is where real food comes from. We are a model for the food world.” – Luke Zahm, Chef/Owner, Driftless Café

• • Round River Distilling
  • Round River Distilling was founded by Dan Johnson in the Fall of 2017. The idea struck him as he crossed the Kickapoo River headed home to the farm after a run into Gays Mills to fetch a bottle of Wild Turkey 101. The selection of Wild Turkey was intentional in that when compared to other big brands, which is what is primarily available in small towns, it is one of the few that uses non-genetically modified corn. With the anticipation of a dram (or two) at the end of the work day snug beside him, surrounded by forested bluffs mixed with corn fields and pastures, and the contemplations of using locally produced grains for making whiskey and other spirits, the Round River dream was sparked.

  • The Westby Cooperative Creamery is farmer-owned, meaning the more than 100 farmers and their families who supply milk daily to the creamery, own the business. As the coop looks to expand its product line across the nation, whether, through the Westby brand or private label opportunities, our commitment to creating the best quality cottage cheeses, sour creams, dips, yogurts, cream cheeses, and organic products will never change.
