Craft Beer for Crafty People: Tilion Brewing Calls Cannon Falls Home
“Cannon Falls has been an amazing partner for building our business,” shares Chris. “They worked with us from the beginning to help us succeed. We have a wonderful synergy with the winery across the street. We’ve worked with CannonBelles since they opened and sell a lot of cheese curds in house. We are grateful to be a part of the Cannon Falls community and are humbled by their support of our work.”
Ferndale Market: A Minnesota Food Hub That You Need to Know
Fern and Dale Peterson started raising free range turkeys in the rolling hills of the Cannon River Valley in 1939. Their turkeys have always been free range and antibiotic free. As trends in commercial turkey farming changed, Ferndale Farm didn’t.
CannonBelles Cheese: Locally-Sourced and Internationally Acclaimed
Since 2022, all of CannonBelles' cheeses come to life at their Cannon Falls plant. They produce 800-1000 pounds of cheese a week, using milk from the fifth generation Otte Family’s Square Deal Dairy in nearby Randolph.
The Gathering Place: Live the Lake Life at Pine River’s Heath’s Resort
Heath’s Resort is the sort of place where generations of families gather to celebrate summer and each other. They boat to dinner, play sand volleyball, watch kids play on the beach from their cabin porch, debate which fishing spot is the luckiest, and soak up the magic that is lake season.
