Fellas, Valentine's Day is about a month away, and I am here to help. I know a lot of you may be planning to stop and get some plastic-wrapped roses and a box of heart chocolates after work on the 14th, but I implore you to reconsider. While those are perfectly lovely gifts that I'm sure your ladies would be grateful for, why not get a little creative and support a local business instead? Your Valentine will be impressed with your thoughtfuness.

The Cottage Farm Stand

This quaint little restaurant and store is located at 6869 Hwy 56, Owensboro, Kentucky 42301. Just a short drive from town to the Sorgho area, you feel like you're experiencing a destination spot when you drive up to the adorable farmhouse. Marlene and her sweet team always have it looking so cute and festive!

Unique Valentine's Treats For Your Sweetie

You can always find yummy treats at The Cottage, but they are offering some special goodies for Valentine's Day this year. Their legendary mini muffins make an impressive bouquet that tastes way better than flowers.  A customized Smash Heart is a fun way to say "I love you!" or to pop the big question.

I highly recommend going out for a lunch date. Everything they make is soooo delicious. I'm a huge fan of the Club sandwich and the hearty soups will warm you up on these cold Winter days.
