Greetings, friends of Cady Hayes House B & B

After 18 great years (20 if you include the house renovation) I decided to close my B & B business at the end of 2009. I am grateful to all who have stayed with us and I will treasure countless memories of good food, conversation and laughter. I especially look forward to staying in touch with many of our B & B “regulars” who have become our friends.

I hope you will still visit Lanesboro and Fillmore County, even if you no longer can stay at the Cady Hayes House. Please visit www.lanesboro.com for all the information you need about local lodging and things to do. I also encourage you to check out www.lanesborolocal.org for an easy way to connect with local food producers and to learn all the wonderful things that are happening in our area to promote food that is good, clean and fair.

My husband Frank Wright and I will continue to live at the Cady Hayes House - 500 Calhoun Ave. S. Lanesboro, MN 55949. Our phone number is 507-467-2620. You can e-mail me at mjhanson50@gmail.com.

Frank will continue gardening at Oz and selling wooden spoons at his downtown shop. His shop hours and contact information are available by clicking on this link.

I am embarking on a new adventure which will allow me to pursue my food-related passions at a higher level. I have joined the team at Featherstone Fruits and Vegetables (FFV), a CSA (community supported agriculture) farm about 15 miles east of us in Rushford Village. Among other things, I will be promoting the home cooking of meals, using real food – especially Featherstone Fruits and Vegetables!

I welcome you to follow me, through Facebook and my new blog, Cook out of the box. (Blogspot) There are 87 other Peggy Hanson’s but you can easily find me on Facebook through my e-mail mjhanson50@gmail.com.

May your travels take you soon to our little town in the valley.

Best wishes,

Peggy Hanson
