Celebrations of life are always tricky. Sharing memories brings so much joy, but also brings up so much grief of not being able to relive those moments again.

This past weekend we worked with an amazing family celebrating the life of their mother and wife who passed too early from cancer.

Talking with them about all of the things that she was, and what she loved we were inspired to help everyone who came to that celebration get to know her even better.

We created a grazing board with all of her favorite things. From macadamia nuts, to Gruyère cheese, to olives and roasted zucchini. All her favorite snacks on display for people to taste.

We also had a station filled with food inspired by her life on the west coast with smoked salmon, warm crab dip and more.

We also had a station that celebrated her life in Wisconsin with her favorite comfort foods like loaded mashed potatoes and fresh cheese curds from none other than her favorites from Farmerjohn John Dougherty.

It was a beautiful afternoon, and we feel honored to have been included in celebrating her memory.

This has been so fun coming up with different menus every month working with local farms for St Charles Station!

As winter is coming, we are switching our monthly features to be ingredients over individual farmer. This month (starting tonight) we are featuring CRANBERRIES!!!

Wisconsin grows 60% of all cranberries grown in the US, and all of our cranberries are 100% Wisconsin grown.

Come on out to try it! Future features in upcoming months will be Cheese, local meat, hoop house growing and more!

It has been a heck of a crazy couple of months. We have had so many amazing catering events, weddings, the flood, rebuilding the restaurants, and re-launching St Charles Station.

So many businesses post that their employees are family, but at our restaurant it is a true story! Our restaurants are literally made up of a majority of three families!

First, the obvious, the restaurants are named after them. Ollie serves and hosts, Charlie helps me with projects there, Tiffany is our event manager (as well as a Dave manager). Johnny helps keep us young (and old at the same time). My Dad helps with anything tech related and my mom helps with picking the garden and more, and then of course there is me!

In the Front of house my general manager Misha works with her cousin, her brother's girlfriend, and two of her best friends. Her grandmother does the gardening, her dad and one of her brothers helped out with the construction, and help with fix it projects. Her Fiancé and his brother help in the back of house.

In the Back of house I also have my Kitchen Manager Juan, and working with him are his mother, brother, one of his sisters, his uncle and his aunt.

We love all of our staff, but knowing that our team trusts in us to bring their whole friend and family network to come work with us too means the world to me. We do have additional staff that are actually not in any way related to these families, and we want to celebrate them and give them a break as well.

We want our family and all of our staff to be able to go take advantage of this amazing summer with their kids off of school. Normally this is almost impossible, because the restaurant struggles to operate missing any of these family groups, so this year we have decided to close both of the restaurants and our catering for a whole week! It is the only way we can let them all have time together!

Happy 4th of July week everyone! We will be back, rested and ready to serve you again when we resume service on Tuesday 7/9!
