It’s almost time!

We’re back… and it’s about time 🌞

We LOVE market season, and you know where to find us:
📍 777 Carmichael Rd, Hudson
🗓 Saturday, May 2nd | 8am–12pm
…and every Saturday May through October

We’ve missed our people. Our vendor crew. The Saturday morning buzz. It just hits different out there.

New this season—

✨ Our website + preorder link is LIVE ✨
https://urbanhippiehomesteader.square.site/

We’re so excited to finally say this… you can now preorder your regular menu favorites each week for Saturday pickup. We know you’ve been waiting for it… and honestly, so have we.

Preorders are prepaid through the site and open until 5pm each Thursday for pickup at the market that Saturday.

Quick heads up so it’s clear for everyone: preorders are for regular menu items only. Our rotating features will be first come, first serve at the market to keep things fair.

Also… we’re switching things up and running features in two-week rotations this year, which is really just my excuse to fit in more of my favorite recipes.

Kicking off with:
• Sourdough Carrot Cake Cookie Sandwiches
• Sourdough Ciabatta Rolls
• Sourdough Cranberry Almond Scones

Same booth, same people, same slightly chaotic energy…just a fresh season and a whole lot of good stuff ahead.

We can’t wait to see you 🧡

Stay groovy! 🌼

They're BACK!

Now that the weather is finally getting nice, more kiddos are outside—riding bikes, playing in the yard, and just being kids.

To help keep our neighborhoods a little safer, we’re giving away FREE “Children at Play” yard signs again this year.

These are a simple way to remind drivers to slow down and be a little more aware of what’s happening around them.

If you’d like one delivered and placed in your yard (or know someone who should have one), you can grab yours here 👇:

We do have a limited number available each year, so once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Signs will be delivered over the next two weeks.

I found a hidden gem in River Falls and I’m officially obsessed! 🦙

I took a little time on Friday afternoon and went on a "field trip" to Eagle Eye Farm and had no idea we had this much fun right in our backyard.

Highlights of my visit:

• A special Valentine’s kiss from Melman the Alpaca (he’s a charmer!). 💋

• Snuggle time with Rooby and Sydney the kangaroos. 🦘

• Meeting George the Porcupine—who knew they were so cute? 🦔

Keep an eye out for a "Local Dish" episode coming soon where we’ll go behind the scenes of this amazing spot! 🎥

If you’re looking for a unique adventure, this is it.

They have guided tours, an amazing gift shop full of cozy alpaca gear (swipe to see the store!), and they even do birthday parties and kids' camps.

P.S. I loved it so much that we are planning a special craft class at the farm this spring! Stay tuned for dates and details—you won't want to miss it. 🧶🎨

Support local and go say hi to Kerri Harting and the animals!

Our February speaker, Tasha Schuh, brings a powerful message of resilience, perspective, and purpose. At just 16 years old, Tasha’s life changed forever after a theater accident left her paralyzed from the chest down. Instead of giving up, she chose to move forward with courage, hope, and intention.

🎉 New Community Perk at the YMCA in Hudson! 🎉

The YMCA in Hudson is excited to introduce a new way for community members to experience the Y. While the Y is stronger than it has been in years, we know that not offering day passes has been a frustration for some in our community. Working closely with our Board of Directors, we’re proud to launch our Community Pass Program.

This program allows all residents in our service area to access the YMCA in Hudson up to two times per year at no charge.

With a Community Pass, you can:
🏊‍♀️ Enjoy the pool
🏋️‍♂️ Use the fitness center and gym
🧘 Participate in group exercise classes

No membership is required, no physical pass is needed, and you do not need to come with a current member.

A few important details:
✔️ A photo ID is required at check-in
✔️ Individuals under 18 must be accompanied by an adult
✔️ Community Passes are intended for individual or family use—please avoid coming as a group to help us manage capacity in our program areas

We’re proud to continue finding ways to support our community and increase access to healthy living for all.

Pricing, Boundaries & Boldness
Thursday, January 8th, 2026| 11:15 AM

As women business owners, we don’t struggle because we don’t work hard — we struggle because we undercharge, over-give, and say yes when we should really be saying no. Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

At our January 8th St. Croix Valley Girls meeting (the first Thursday in January is a holiday), we’re skipping the traditional speaker format and diving into an interactive, guided discussion around pricing, boundaries, and boldness in business. This session is designed to help you recognize where you may be undervaluing your time or expertise, and walk away with one clear, confident action you’re ready to take in your business this year.

Expect real conversations, small-group discussion, shared experiences, and practical takeaways — all in a supportive room full of women who get it.

Come ready to participate, connect, and grow.
This is the kind of meeting that sticks with you!

This January, we’re talking about the hard stuff
