Dreaming Willow Spotlight #2 - (because we're oh so excited for our event tomorrow night! and cuz they are so great. ;)) FRIDAY 5 - 9 p.m.

Welcome to the Homestead

All of the Goat's Milk sourced for their products comes straight from their very own herd that consists of Nubian, Boer & Oberhasli Goats.

Come choose some for yourself, or create a Pamper Me gift for a friend that'll leave them, and you, coming back for more...

Dreaming Willow Spotlight

Have you tried their Sourdough Bread yet?!

What's the hype about Sourdough? -"The yeast formed in a Sourdough Starter is a naturally occurring yeast that pairs with lactic acid bacteria during the fermentation process breaking down complex starches, gluten proteins, and anti-nutrients."
Why the heck is all of this good? "With the naturally occurring products of sourdough this results in better mineral absorption, gentler digestion, and sourdough is even a lower impact on your blood sugar levels."
-Erin Zachow



Tomorrow's the big day...stop in 5 - 9 p.m. during our Glow & Gather event! While they last on the fresh sourdough items, or contact them today if you'd like to have something put aside to pick up tomorrow.

Meet your Vendor/AKA Special Popup Guest for Friday August 14th 😄

Dreaming Willow Homestead & Creations is run by Erin & John Zachow along with their 4 children. What started with a couple of chickens, a big dream, & two people with a giant drive for purer products & food quickly turned into a very popular stop at the Manitowoc Farmers Market. Whether you're looking for pure and simple skincare, freshly baked sourdough products (often baked right before arriving at the market on Saturday mornings), farm-fresh eggs, seasonal produce, or beautiful homestead décor; Dreaming Willow is a one-stop shop!

On any given day, the children of Dreaming Willow can be seen involved with all of the wonderful activities around the farm—from helping feed the animals and collecting eggs to helping milk the family goats that produce the milk used in all of your favorite goat’s milk products. The kids learn fantastic life lessons in selflessness and responsibility while getting to enjoy all the snuggles their farm animals have to offer! It is not unusual to drive past the farm and see the children sitting in the pasture with a goat or three laying against them, or snuggling one of their rabbits.

“We look forward to seeing and chatting with all of you!”
