Farm News: Creamery Pins Hopes On The InternetcommentsPosted: 02.01.2012 WeatherVane Creamery, a start-up specialty retail shop and cafe in downtown River Falls, has launched an ambitious Internet campaign to raise $100,000 in 32 days.
Facing the hurdles of low capital and low collateral, owner Sarah Kowal decided to take financing her dream store into her own hands. With the help of friends and consulting experts, she produced a five-minute video touting why people around the globe should donate between $1 and $10,000 to help launch WeatherVane Creamery.

“What started out as an idea to open a coffee shop has evolved and expanded to become a celebration of all things I missed during my 10 years away from my home state, “ Kowal said. “WeatherVane Creamery will be a Wisconsin-only specialty shop and café featuring farmstead, artisan and specialty cheeses, as well as organic, small batch churned scooped ice cream, gourmet sandwiches, and other unique items. It will celebrate all things Wisconsin.”
Kowal says part of WeatherVane Creamery's mission is to provide the community with a local business that is smart and quirky. She describes the shop as an "iconic Wisconsin destination store that successfully combines and appeals to traditional sensibilities with a hip and modern feel.”
In the video, Kowal and friends show off River Falls and its appeal to the folks who call it home. Her fundraising site offers visitors the chance to contribute to the cause of opening WeatherVane Creamery, no matter where they live.
If successful, Kowal aims to open WeatherVane Creamery on April 1, just in time for National Grilled Cheese Day on April 12. For more information, contact Kowal at 715-256-7050 or email wvcreamery@gmail.com.
