The fields, the barns, the early mornings, and the generations of hard work — farming is part of what makes the Driftless Region special.

Do you have a photo that captures the beauty, pride, and spirit of life in the Driftless Region? Whether it’s harvest season, rolling farmland, livestock, a country sunrise, or a moment that feels like home, we want to see it.

There’s still time to enter the Midwest Artisan Group “Driftless & Proud” Photo Contest for a chance to win a $50 gift card to a local Cresco business.

Free to enter — but time is running out!

With Father's Day coming up soon, we thought we should put up a little teaser of what we have in the shop! The best part about MAG is that you can get everything made to your wishes. All you have to do is stop in and we will put you in touch with the right artisan for your needs.

Time is running out to enter the Midwest Artisan Group “Driftless & Proud” Photo Contest!

We want to see what the Driftless Region means to you through your lens.

Enter your photo for a chance to win a $50 gift card to a local Cresco business. Entry is free, but the deadline is approaching.

One-third done. Opened up the other half and made a lumber list. Picked up the lumber, and if the weather is okay tomorrow, I'll be back up there. This old station is going to be beautiful. I see the train is getting some attention as well. It's going to be nice seeing some of the decay being cleaned up in Cresco. It's a cool town; it's time to clean up the blight and bring it back.

The new classroom officially opened on May 9th. Two Mosaic classes have already taken place. We'd like the public to suggest what classes they'd specifically like to see this summer. Midwest Artisans Group will also be offering fall and winter classes. Please include in your comments what classes you'd like to participate in and during which season. The classroom was built for community interaction, and it doesn't need to be a class to use the room. That being said, we'd love your input, Cresco. Thank you in advance.
