Lake Hallie neighbors gained a new self-serve bakery farm stand earlier this month. Deb’s Daughter (2463 County Highway OO, Chippewa Falls), owned and organized by Jennifer Brisky, provides a rotation of homemade jams (with berries picked from local farms), dairy free options and fresh homemade baked goods.

The business is named after Brisky’s late mother, Deborah Parker, who had always wanted to open a bakery, but never got the chance to. Brisky explained that all the menu items are first shared with family and friends – some treats even being inspired by her kids' tastebuds.

Brisky centers her business around the care that is put into each packaged item, rather than doing it for the money.

“I just do it to share the things I’ve learned, recipes I’ve learned as a child growing up and I like to use either homemade or locally grown stuff.” Brisky said.

According to Jennifer Brisky of Deb’s Daughter, honeyberries (pictured above) provide exceptional health benefits, “outperforming many traditional berries by packing four times more Vitamin C, twice the Vitamin A and significantly higher levels of antioxidants.” (Image via Facebook)

As a small business operator herself, Brisky values getting fresh produce from local farms to help support other small-scale businesses. From fresh strawberries picked at Govin’s Farm in Menomonie to honeyberries (Haskap) from New Dawn Orchard in Holcombe, there are plenty of new flavors customers can expect in each packaged jam.

Looking to the future, Deb’s Daughter hopes to get licensed for the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) food license or local county health permit and open a trailer to gain more mobility for events.

In the meantime, Brisky is growing zucchini to put into bread and getting a feel of the sweets the community reaches for.

Deb’s Daughter farm stand is open from 9am-3pm, Monday-Friday at 2463 County Highway OO, Chippewa Falls. For all updates and event postings, visit their Facebook page (@DebsDaughterLLC).
