Explore Northfield & Dundas

Check out the town! If you’re coming to Northfield from out of town plan to spend some time here. There are so many great parks, trails, and businesses to check out. Raven’s Nest Cafe is our favorite for coffee and crepes. It might be our favorite because it’s part of the Mad Farmer family and shares space with Farmstead Bike Shop. Start your adventure with us and a great cup of coffee.

We also LOVE the following businesses:

Imminent Brewing in Northfield - this winter we collaborated with them to make a Raven’s Nest Stout!

Chapel Brewing in Dundas - just a few short miles up river from Northfield. There’s even a bike path from our door to theirs!

The Ole Store - for a nice meal. Best fancy burger in town.

Coco’s for quick and delicious Mexican food.

Content Bookstore - one of the best bookstores in the midwest (in our humble opinion).

Northfield Yarns - if you’re into fiber arts.

We love more businesses too and we’ll be adding to this list soon!
