Today on the podcast we're with Taylor Borkowski of The Cottage in Denison, Iowa (pop. 8,172). Taylor and her mom bought out an existing business in January 2020, only to shut down six days after their open house celebration due to covid.

It's been a wild ride, and Taylor's sharing how they overcame the covid challenges, brought a massive change to their product line, filled a gap in the community, and recently moved locations.

She also talks about her involvement with the community, which includes hosting community events that incorporate a diverse population, and you'll see why she was voted Volunteer of the Year!

If you live near western Iowa, you’ll want to put these upcoming events on your calendar:

Fall Frenzy — October 9, 4-8 pm

Christmas at The Cottage — October 28 (private ticketed event)

Holiday Open House — November 14-17

Recipe Walk — November 17, 1-4 pm

Taylor also used our Farm Dinner Event Kit for their recent farm to table celebration. If you're thinking about bringing a farm to table dinner to your community, this is a great resource for you!
