WeatherVane Creamery

WeatherVane Creamery Originally a River Falls start-up vision, owner Sarah Kowal is posting about her journey self publishing a book on the experience.

WeatherVane Creamery is the passion project and brain child of visionary extraordinaire Sarah Kowal. From 2011-2014 Sarah accomplished the following:
*Created and developed a new store concept and business plan that was recognized by the American Cheese Society for its innovation in the retail dairy industry
*Managed marketing campaigns to leverage brand and raise awareness: 245 facebook fans, 52

twitter followers, 138 email newsletter subscribers, 2,735 indiegogo views, 883 views on youtube, and an appearance on the local Fox Morning News.
*Personally raised over $35,000 from over 75 private individuals
*Developed an investor program, established a professional advisory team, and sought out investors including Starbucks Coffee Company ceo (sic) Howard Schultz
In June 2014, Sarah shelved the project due to life changes and lack of funds.

Earlier this summer we reported that the “nation thinks Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa are ‘equally good.’” New data suggests that Wisconsin has a slight edge. However, Democrats favor Minnesota and Republicans favor Iowa.

Sarah is still out there hustling. See how her journey with WeatherVane Creamery has shaped her contributions to fellow entrepreneurs and founders since. https://chippewa-wi.com/sarah_kowal_founder_story_bear25/

When Western Wisconsin founder, Sarah Kowal, launched WeatherVane Creamery, she didn’t have access to flashy pitch events or big-city investors—just vision, hustle, and guerrilla marketing. Now, as BEAR ‘25 opens applications for second-stage businesses across the state, and HATCH is just around the corner in November, she reflects on why visibility, community, and sharing your story with all five senses still matter more than ever. https://zurl.co/0FTNQ

WeatherVane Creamery was all about creating community. We don't know anyone else that creates community quite like the folks at Urban Olive and Vine in neighboring Hudson. Please support if you feel moved to this holiday season.

Yesterday I (Sarah) had the honor as a returning judge at the UWRF Innovation Challenge. As some of you may know, I moved to Clayton, WI, a few years ago, but River Falls still has a big place in my life, serving as my second office and #1 shopping destination. In any case, I was interviewed by a reporter, and they asked what I enjoyed about being a returning judge. That took me back to my WeatherVane Creamery days and being in the same/similar spot as the students pitching (pictured.) There is a BIG place in my heart for encouraging the entrepreneurial spirit and being a part of helping them WIN. It's an honor, and it means all that much more that I am supporting my alma mater and, of course, WISCONSIN!

We can't disagree.

If Wisconsin had a state muffin (and I'm not entirely sure we don't), what would it be?

If Wisconsin had a state muffin (and I'm not entirely sure we don't), what would it be?

Minnesota is known for many things — its over 10,000 lakes, the birth place of Prince, Minnesota nice and frozen tundra — but what about muffins? Doug Mack wrote about the history or state foods, including Minnesota's state muffin.

My writing coach, Katie Love, says it's official: the book I've been working on for a few years, Follow Your WeatherVane, is halfway there! It's about my spiritual, entrepreneurial, and personal journey with my start-up business, WeatherVane Creamery. It's full of surprises.
