Fox Valley Showcase

Hey followers. List and tag your favorite local window and door company.

Walked into Abbey Farms for some sweet corn and got carrried away with all their jarred and baked goodies. From marinades to jams to mustards to seasonings and cider donuts and baked rhubarb pie... to vintage table cloths and fresh locally grown produce ... I couldn’t help myself! They have live music on the weekend on their beautiful patio amidst. Go get a taste of the country right in my towns back yard.

Coming soon to Elburn! Opens July 1st. Can’t wait to go check it out. The Renovations look amazing on the place. Go out and support your LOCAL small businesses.

Alter Brewing Patio is open and it’s gorgeous out tonight. Open til 11pm. Come on out! Alter Brewing + Kitchen St. Charles

Looking for a local small business that is OPEN? Be sure to make a trip to Spring Bluff Nursery in Sugar Grove. Trees, plants, flowers, herbs, veggies, pottery and more! They will even work with you on landscape design and can come to your home and design a plan for you. Can’t wait to go back again!

Brand New to North Aurora, go check out and support Steve Newman from Brother Chimp Brewing. He has opened a truly special taproom right by Raimondo's Pizza and Pub and The Turf Room. Complete with bars made from wood from trees on his own property at home in Batavia. This is a truly tough time to launch a business so we wanted to get the word out to all our locals to go grab a growler or crowler and some really fun merch. Can’t wait for this quarantine to be lifted so we can hang out in the gorgeous and warm space they have created for us all to enjoy a beer or two. Six beers on tap including Kima - a blonde pale ale, For the Masses - an old school west coast IPA, Well Red Monk - Irish Red Ale, Brigadoon - dark amber ale, Smile - English brown ale and SIGFY - dry Irish stout. Located at 1059 West Orchard Rd. 630-800-1724. Www.brotherchimpbrewing.com

Raise your hand if you forgot it was Daylight Savings last night.

At last! Graham's 318 has reopened. And it’s absolutely delightful! So many new places to gather and work and enjoy their delicious coffee and treats! Can’t wait for my next work remote day!
