Cookies, Cocktails and Cannoli

A day trip filled with deliciousness and things that tickle the tastebuds!

For those of you who haven’t experienced Lambs Farm, it warms your heart. Right along I-94 you can see the farmyard however, many don’t know what Lambs is. The staff dedicates themselves to helping people with developmental disabilities. We find that people like to shop with a mission in mind.

First, head to the Visitor Center for a greeting and overview of Lambs mission. Then let your group explore a bit on their own at the Cedar Chest Thrift Shop, Dogwood Garden & Pet Shop and the Sugar Maple Country Store. The group can make their way over to the Magnolia Café for a home-made lunch and afterwards everyone receives a bag of their famous butter Cookies!

Lambs Farm, North Shore Distillery and Tony Cannoli are all members of the Illinois Made Program. 

**Note, North Shore Distillery has moved to a new location, until they can host groups again, the cocktails and cannoli portion of this itinerary will be held at Lambs Farm.  

Meet Tony of Tony Cannoli who will provide your group either with a demo (and of course samples) or they can each fill their own Cannoli to take home. Tony Cannoli is a popular sweet stop in Lake County! Tony Cannoli has seasonal flavors as well, something to consider when planning your tour!

And Sonja Kassebaum of North Shore Distillery will provide some Cocktail pairings with the cannoli. Tony also has extra cannoli available for purchase to take home.  

This tour works well all year-round except Thanksgiving – New Year’s Day due to the high volume of product demands.
