For the longest time, Minnesotans were accustomed to crossing the eastern border into Wisconsin for two things: beer and cheese. New laws allowing alcohol sales on Sundays in Minnesota have slowed that traffic, but there are still many who can’t resist the cheese. If you’re one of those people, that may change when you hear about the charming dairy store in Minnesota that will become your new favorite destination.
The Hastings Dairy Store is a creamery right on the border of Minnesota and Wisconsin. You’ll find it at 1701 Vermillion St., Hastings, MN 55033.
