Come see Greta this Saturday!

Change of plans for this week! 📣

I will NOT be at the Garnavillo Farmers Market Thursday due to a volleyball scrimmage. 🏐

Instead, find me this Saturday at Deer Run Campground Lodge 9am-noon, in Elkader for your sourdough, scones, cookies & flowers! 🍪 💐

If you ordered for Thursday pickup, I’ll be in touch! 😊 If you want to preorder for Saturday in Elkader let me know.

I am headed to the State Fair today with some baked items and chickens to show!

Such an amazing building in our town!

Small-town Iowa has some beautiful old buildings hiding in plain sight.

This is the Elkader Opera House, built in 1903 and still standing proudly in downtown Elkader. I love finding places like this — historic, full of character, and a reminder that every Iowa town has a story if you slow down long enough to notice.
