Marketing and Interpretive Materials – The Illinois River Road has developed beautiful, high quality materials that promote and interpret nature, history and wildlife throughout the region. These pieces can do much of the talking for you about about areas with which you’re not familiar (illinoisriverroad.org/resources_downloads.cfm).

We try to make our bakery a bit like “coming home.” Our philosophy is to greet each visitor as family. As an old fashioned, locally-owned business our commitment to high quality bakery products and outstanding customer service never wavers, and it’s what keeps people coming back. Small, locally-owned business is the “cherry on top” signature ingredient which contributes to our community’s overall success.
