Summer at Cedar Valley

Summer is the perfect season to visit Cedar Valley. In late April, Cedar Valley welcomed llamas from the neighboring Chapel View Farm to the pasture! Llamas are curious, friendly, and gentle, and enjoy human interaction. Visitors are welcome to stop and admire them, take pictures, and experience their calming presence.

Cedar Valley is also working with Honey Grove Apiaries to bring 16 to 20 colonies of honeybees to the property. Owned and operated by Nick Thill—a fourth-generation beekeeper—Honey Grove has hundreds of hives throughout southeastern Wisconsin and has been producing award-winning honey since 1956. The bees at Cedar Valley will make honey primarily from wild owers and clover, and the Cedar Valley sta is working on planting a pollinator garden for them. Honey Grove honey will soon be available for purchase in the Cedar Valley gift shop.

The grounds and trails at Cedar Valley are open for your enjoyment all year long. All are invited to walk the trails, visit the llamas, and explore the gardens. Stop out at any time during daylight hours and check in at the front desk. If you have any requests that will make your visit more enjoyable, please call or email ahead of time.
