"Locals and visitors alike head to Luna Valley Farm, just 15 minutes northeast of Decorah, to try artisan creations like Peachy Pig starring juicy peaches, bacon and fig balsamic glaze. Pair with locally crafted beer from one of Decorah's many breweries like award-winning Toppling Goliath Brewing Company or try non-alcoholic sodas from Spring Grove Soda."
