Destinations: Maiv Flower Farm, Little Berry Farm, and AVEnue Orchard
What a perfect summer morning! In this tour, you’ll not only spend time in the beautiful Wisconsin landscape, but you’ll get to meet intrepid Chippewa Valleians making a living from the earth. Enjoy the scenic ride on our vintage-inspired trolley to three stunning countryside destinations.
On the journey you’ll hear more about what makes each place unique to our community. And at each location you’ll receive a short talk from the owner and an array of complimentary items to take home, including a pint of your own hand-picked berries, a small bouquet of flowers you also get to pick yourself, and more. You’ll also have the opportunity to stock up on even more fresh produce while you’re there as you may purchase additional items and shop at each location!
So come, experience firsthand the sights and aromas of acres of picturesque flowers, berry bushes, and apple trees. But keep in mind — berries, apples and flowers are in season for only a few weeks, so this will be a VERY limited run of tours with limited seating!
TOUR ITEM STORAGE: The trolley will be equipped with enclosed rear storage for all your delicate tour items, to be safely transported between stops. Berries and bouquets should not be held inside the breezy trolley itself, but kept in the designated rear storage.
WEATHER: Depending on weather, be prepared for the trolley to be set up enclosed with sliding windows, or open-air with brass railings (and roll down curtains in case of rain). Appropriate clothing layers for heat/humidity or cool breezes is a good idea. There will be some walking in flat fields. This tour lasts approximately 3.5 hours.
