Very pleased to see our friends at Wyrd starting a new chapter

🏰⚔️ RALLY THE REALM ⚔️🏰

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT.

From Tavern to Stronghold: Castle Wyrd Rises.

A new adventure. A new ambiance.
We have signed a lease for a new location, and one that nearly triples our current tasting hall.

Build-out begins now.

Within these walls shall be found:
🔥 A vast new space— a fresh new adventure for friends new and old
🏰 Private chambers for tastings, celebrations, and noble gatherings
🕯️ Deepened ambiance—old-world, immersive, and alive with atmosphere. Pure castle vibes.
🗝️ Hidden easter eggs and secrets waiting to be uncovered
🍯 Wyrd’s Mead shall flow, shared among friends and allies.
🐮 Leather workshop and local artisans
✨ And many wonders yet to be revealed…

📯 This is a call to the Warriors of Wyrd around the globe.

If you have ever enjoyed our craft in any capacity, from near or far, we now call forth the banners of the realm to rally together in support of our crowdfunding campaign. We are proceeding no matter what we raise via Crowdfunding. Any support is deeply appreciated.

We are raising funds to construct a grand new tasting hall, forged in the spirit of a castle—a place of stone, story, and shared celebration. This hall will stand as a gathering ground for all who have walked our hall, raised a glass with us, or carried our banner beyond our gates.

This is more than stone and timber.
It is a stronghold for community.
A place where legends are shared, bonds are forged, and stories endure, as we have been since our start.

A light in the dark.

🔥 This is our year.
🤝 The Year of the Fellowship.
⚔️ 2026.

Answer the call. Rally the banners. Stand with us.
Help us raise the walls, light the torches, and bring the hall to life.

The quest has begun. 🏰✨

PLEASE SHARE.

During the holiday season, lefse is available on a first come first serve basis, on specific pick up dates which we will post on our website, socials, and in email for those on our mailing list. We cannot accept preorders for lefse during the holidays. With the extremely high demand, keeping track of dozens of orders (and chasing people down when they forget their pick up dates, etc.) just puts too much strain on our team and operations. 

Now, here are all the juicy deets 🤗:

For 2025, Thanksgiving fresh lefse will be available Friday 11/21 and Tuesday and Wednesday 11/25-26. We will open early at 10:30 for lefse pick ups only (our regular menu will not be available until 11, sorry). 

During the holidays there is a limit of 1.5 dozen per party to give more of the lefse loving community opportunities to enjoy fresh lefse. Please don't be weird and try to send multiple family members to Scrooge off with 1.5 dozen lefse each upon your visit. It's unsightly 🤓

For Christmas 2025, fresh lefse will be available Friday-Sunday 12/19-12/21 and Tuesday 12/23. 

There will also be early bird fresh lefse available December 11-12 for those who want to freeze theirs for Christmas. We may announce more Christmas lefse dates depending on availability. 

(Any other day we MAY be able to sell up to 6 pieces or ½ dozen depending upon supplies, but there is no guarantee that we will have any extra.)

Your heart might be breaking every single day but Mother Nature is still fighting the good fight and the mushrooms are still growing.

We’ve cooked up some tasty chanterelles in shallot butter and we’re serving them atop toasted sourdough rye with goat cheese and a lovely arugula side salad. Come remind yourself that goodness still exists.
