It's almost time for the grand opening

Hi Everyone,  things have been going extremely well lately. We have been painting and sheet-rocking like mad people and we even got a great new place to live in town. A big shout out goes to our friends at Country Pride Co-Op http://www.countryprideservices.com/default.aspx, thanks for the warm welcome. As for the space, here are some pictures, it's really coming together.

Thanks to our gracious hosts, the wonderful Care and Share and Ten Thousand Villages in Mountain Lake.

We have been busy!

We apologize for not having posted recently.  Life has been busy.  We are in the process of packing up our stuff to make the move to Mountain Lake this weekend.  On top of that Rachel has been working her last week at her job and that have been in the process of moving as well.  And then there's Sweet Fields.  We have our plumber, carpenter and electrician in the space this week!  On top of that we are in the process of getting all of our permits and all of the paper work that goes with that. Hopefully those in Mountain Lake has been watching the progress.  We are moving right along. 
  So as of Sunday we will be residents of Mountain Lake and we are looking forward to it!  You can find us there most days probably in the new space working hard to get it open ASAP.  Drop in and say hi.  We'd love to meet you. 
New Pictures will be posted very soon!

Putting the Sweet in Sweet Fields

We recently got a great question from one of our readers; Why the name Sweet Fields? As Rachel and I were driving through the outskirts of town on our way to church one Sunday morning, we were trying to think of the perfect way to express where we were and what we wanted to do. Rachel had just recently graduated from culinary school in the baking and pastry program, and had heard that the town was in need of a provider of cakes for special occasions. You know, weddings, birthdays, graduations, baby showers, that kind of thing, and I could provide the video record if people wanted it. Well, funny enough, the answer was right there. I looked around and saw the waving grains that stretched as far as the eye could see and the bounty that they provided; that was what we wanted to bring to people. Sweet Fields was born! Here are a few samples of her work, enjoy.

The Great Work begins!

      So for those of you just tuning in, Sweet Fields is the new taste sensation sweeping its way into Mountain Lake, MN. We are going to be located on the corner of 10th Street and 3rd Avenue in the scenic downtown square. We started some work on the physical space; nothing structural yet, we are awaiting out permits like good law abiding citizens!
