B&B homesteaders

Opening up a bed and breakfast was the realization of a dream for us. Our long-term goal is to be self-sufficient (we're well on our way) and to be able to share the earth's bounties with our guests.

Book a harvest dinner with your Saturday stay

The garden got off to a slow start this spring. It stayed cold well beyond mid-May. But finally the garden is at peak production.
Daily we are harvesting potatoes, tomatoes, beets, carrots, cucumbers, beans, summer squash and herbs. Our first sweet corn is just ripening.
Brambleberry Bed and Breakfast is the only Wisconsin bed and breakfast that serves dinner for guests who book ahead. There's only 2-1/2 months left of our special harvest dinners and feasts that comprise of our own homegrown organic vegetables. Meat is either raised on the farm or sourced locally. We try to keep between zero and 30 miles per meal. The average U.S. meal has between 1,500 to 2,000 miles on it. At $20 to $30 a plate, this is a fantastic value for an organic dinner. The folks at Outstanding in the Field charge nearly $200 a plate for a similar dinner. Some of our peak fall festival or fall foliage weekends are filling up fast. So book now to reserve your chance to experience a homegrown meal first-hand.
