Empty Nest Winery opened its doors in 2011 with eight different wines, mainly berry and fruit wines. We are located in rural northeast Iowa on our century family farm. Family-owned and operated, we produce handcrafted wines made in small batches from mainly locally grown handpicked berries. We ferment whole real fruit not just the juice and real sugar. This gives our unfiltered wine more flavor, color, and body for the best tasting “true to the fruit” wine. We offer over 50 varieties of wines, ports, ciders and sangria.

Our winery tasting room has a fun and relaxed atmosphere so you can meet friends to taste and enjoy a glass of wine, sangria, pint of craft beer, cider or cans of your favorite beer and always free popcorn to munch on. There are many ways to shop Empty Nest Winery products. Visit the winery or shop their online store. Their products are also available at a variety of specialty retailers in Iowa.

Treehouse Farm and Foods produces hearty, sustainably raised poultry on the farm in southern MN. Visit Treehouse Farm and Food’s website to place your order. Local delivery and on-farm pickup is available.

Guided by the silvopasture model, they range their chicken flocks through the American Hazelnut orchard on the farm. Raising primarily Red Ranger chickens, their flocks build healthy muscles as they forage the orchard. The premium flavor and quality of meat, is a result of ranging on protective pasture and plenty of local, non-GMO feed. From brooder to pasture, each flock is raised with dignity and grace. Treehouse’s philosophy is that better food feeds a better society, and hope their chickens will nourish you and yours.
