We're also the first B&B in Wisconsin to regularly offer dinners where the majority, if not all of the meal, was grown on-site in our organic kitchen gardens. Our Saturday night harvest dinners offered July through November help guests get in touch with their food source. These special dinners often feature our own natural homegrown meat. Brambleberry offers guests more slow food, food with low miles and organic produce grown on site than any other B&B in the state. We focus on the freshest seasonal produce. Weekends we offer dinner by reservation only to B&B guests (48 hours notice, please). The menu is on our dinner page. The atmosphere and ambiance of Brambleberry's dining room cannot be matched by any nearby restaurant. A top Wisconsin farm bed and breakfast, we are committed to serving guests one or more breakfast items every day from our own organic and natural homegrown fruits, vegetables, eggs and pork products. We also raise crossbred Suffolk and purebred Scottish Blackface sheep. We grow most of our own food and live as self-sustainable a lifestyle as possible. We firmly believe the relationship between the land and our food is integral to our health and well-being. We enjoy sharing and discussing this philosophy with our guests, who are welcome to tour our gardens and visit our animals.
