1. Meet Sarah Kowal,
2012 American Cheese Society scholarship winner for
innovative ideas in retail dairy industry and
WeatherVane Creamery founder.
WeatherVane Creamery is a destination specialty
food store and cafe that celebrates everything
tasty from Wisconsin. Located in River Falls,
Wisconsin, WeatherVane Creamery is the first stop for
Twin Cities’ locavores to
explore a cheese and
wine maker day trip in
Western Wisconsin. Not your
grandma's cheese shop,
WeatherVane Creamery promises
to keep traditional sensibilities
with a modern twist.
Items like Monroe cheeses, Door County cherries,
award winning meats from Thorp, and Warren
cranberries.
The cafe will feature gourmet grilled cheese
sandwiches on locally baked bread, contest
winning tomato soup from New Richmond,
organic hand dipped ice cream and floats from
Osseo, and River Falls roasted coffee.
