Puempel's Olde Tavern is a fun tradition in New Glarus. One of the oldest buildings in the downtown area, the tavern is named for the Puempel  family, two generations of the family owned and operated it. When Otto Puempel (Hazel had already passed away) retired it seems that he had 65 years in the business and his parents owned it before Otto and Hazel. At one time the Century 21 office next door served as the dining room. The new owmer, Chuck Bigler can tell you of theold days "when the building was also a boarding house, all rooms filled and hot home-cooked meals provided on a daily basis." Maybe Chuck and Leesia can tell you the history of the dollar bills stuck in the high ceiling.   But I can tell you this:  they ran a contest this summer and removed half of the dollar bills and do...

We've talked about our friends up at Goosechaser Farm by Blanchardville frequently here on Cheese Country Realtors. Well, Stef and Andre have been busy developing a new offering, and they could use some input. They have been developing their line of brats made from heritage pork, turkey, chicken and more. Trust me, these brats are worth trying. Created from Stef's custom spice blends and meat from animals raised naturally on Goosechaser Farm's patures, the brats are a truly local product. We have had the pleasure of enjoying some before, and we have become complete converts. Delish. In order to better meet customer expectations when developing a new service, Stef has put together a short survey. In exchange for about the 3 minutes of your time necessary to answer the survey, you will be...

Being passionate supporters of both locally owned businesses and the environmental movement, we have been happy patrons of a New Glarus business for a while now.  Recently, we have been hearing more and more people talk about this business, which warms our hearts.Nikki's Diapers in New Glarus is an internet-based company turned brick and mortar store.  We have had the pleasure of spending time with Nikki and her husband, and they are lovely people.  They started the company from their home a number of years ago.  Nikki wanted to fill the gaps for parents who were searching for quality cloth diapering items.  Cloth diapering has come a long way from our grandparents' era, but you would never know it to see some of what is offered at the major national retailers.  Niche businesses like Ni...

There is a strong entreprenurial spirit here in the Green County area.  Many small businesses call this area home.  Some are well known outside of the area, but little known here.One of these businesses is Nicki's Diapers. Nicki's Diapers opened up a retail storefront in New Glarus last year under the name Planet Wise, but they have been operating online for considerably longer than that. Nicki's Diapers and Planet Wise show the half-hidden environmentalism that is surprisingly strong here in the Green County area.As a cloth diaper user myself, the opening on Planet Wise made it even easier to keep my money local when shopping. They carry a large selection of cloth diapering necessities as well as the splurges that make cloth diapering more fun. Cloth diapering has been experiencing a q...
