One of the main reasons I moved to Minnesota eight years ago, despite having no family, job or historic ties here, was the Twin Cities’ ace balancing act between green and urban spaces. No matter where you live or work in the greater metro area, it feels like you are never more than a short drive away from a lush park, lake or farm.
That last point — an innate, deeply human desire to get off the grid or go country — is why I’ve witnessed so many New Yorkers launch a second life upstate, only to find it’s a long, gridlocked drive back to the city when they want to catch a concert, secure a special reservation, or see old friends.
We don’t have that problem here. If you’re aching for a rural escape from the sturm und drang of everyday life, it’s right within your reach from Minneapolis-St. Paul or one of our countless suburban communities.
Here is one of the many routes you can take for a weekend trip within rural Minnesota: a winding, gravel-dotted itinerary that dips just below St. Cloud, swings through Sauk Centre, and cuts through such tiny Central Lakes towns as Brooten (population: 626), New London (1,337) and Belgrade (738).
Please note: You will see more corn fields than people. And it will be glorious.

DAY ONE
10 a.m.
Fill up on gas and fritters at Clearwater Travel Plaza
The first thing I noticed after walking into Clearwater Travel Plaza was a gaggle of FedEx employees gathered around the growing line at its resident bakery, Nelson Bros.
“You guys don’t know what you’re missing,” said the one employee who’s clearly been here before. “Feel how heavy that bag is.”
He was probably referring to the “bigger than your head” baked goods that are mixed, shaped and fried in-house, totaling about 1,600 donuts a day during the week and about 2,200 a day over the weekend. My 4-and-a-half-year-old son was immediately tractor-beamed towards a cakey, pink-glazed classic with sprinkles because he has the sugar-aligned palate of Homer Simpson. He also asked for enough rounds at a claw machine to score his own stuffed… mushroom? Not his first choice by any means, but very on brand for this agritourism trip.
My wife and I decided to grab a couple of iced coffees from a surprisingly efficient self-serve machine and split a signature fritter. While their best-seller is studded with cinnamon-y apples, another Nelson Bros. regular steered us toward her personal favorite: blueberry. It was crisp, chewy and craggy, with a robust fruit-to-dough ratio. We don’t order donuts all that often, outside of the occasional bribe for our brood, but this one quickly became a vicious battle for the last bite.
In fact, we loved it so much we got a loaf of blueberry fritter bread for later. That’s the other big draw at Nelson Bros. — enough that they now ship $44.99 mix-and-match boxes to North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and the rest of Minnesota. Sweet tooths should consider placing an order by phone; ringing (320) 558-2261 is the only way to reserve a three-pack.
Personally, I’d rather go back to the plaza’s restaurant and try its top-rated Fritter French Toast. It’s batter-dipped and served with a side of wild rice sausage for optimal sweet-savoriness.
Clearwater Travel Plaza
Address: 950 State Highway 24, Clearwater, MN 55320
Hours: Nelson Bros. Bakery and the plaza itself are open 24 hours. The restaurant is open daily from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.
11:30 a.m.
Stock up at Mrs. B’s Kitchen stand
One thing I forgot to mention earlier: My wife got serious about motorcycling this year. That made this trip particularly appealing since it involves so many open roads and the very real sense that any traffic is behind you once you’re far enough along I-94.
Since we had our son with us, and I’m not planning on reenacting “Easy Rider” anytime soon, we eliminated highways from the entire drive and formed a caravan along the way. That meant having to signal any necessary or impromptu stops to each other — ones like the “did you just see that?” discovery that is Mrs. B’s Kitchen.
I’ve seen many inspiring examples of Minnesota’s cottage food law over the past eight years, but never one as attuned to my culinary needs as this ridiculously ambitious farm stand run by Ellie Kibbie and her mother, Wendy Blaul. During our stop, we were tempted by Little Debbie-like oatmeal cream pies, cinnamon rolls with separate frosting containers sitting in a nearby cooler, ranch-flavored pretzels, monster cookies for our kid, and so… much… sourdough. We’re talking everything from English muffins and bagels to hearty loaves of jalapeño cheddar, cranberry walnut, blueberry lemon, rosemary parmesan, chocolate espresso, and garlic asiago.
According to Kibbie, 73 different items were made in their kitchen over the course of one recent weekend. No wonder why Mrs. B’s already has a cult following, and we’re already planning on making a return trip ASAP.
Lucky for us and anyone else with a weakness for long-fermented baked goods, Kibbie, Blaul and the rest of their family are having a heated building put in their yard as we speak. It’ll be a small, year-round storefront for the greater St. Cloud area — Mrs. B’s is on a quiet road about 15 minutes from downtown — and anyone lucky enough to stumble upon the space.
“This all started as a crazy idea with my mother and me, something fun to do to keep us busy,” Kibbie said over email after our trip. “It quickly turned into something we could have never even dreamed of. The overwhelming support of our neighbors, friends, family and community is humbling to say the least.”
Mrs. B’s Kitchen
Address: 5894 County Road 136, St. Cloud, MN 56301
Hours: Open Friday to Sunday until sold out.
1 p.m.
Keep things classic at Red Onion
Another thing Minnesota does well: seasonal hamburger stands and drive-ins. The Red Onion has been a Belgrade staple and multi-generational must since the early ‘60s. Most people were ordering soft-serve ice cream when we stopped by, but we were there for the fresh, not frozen, beef, squishy, locally sourced buns, and old-school onion rings. Oh, and tater tots; this is Minnesota after all.
Our nostalgia-inducing burgers and starch delivery systems took a while to make, and the place wasn’t that busy, so it’s safe to say that Red Onion’s claims of being a made-to-order establishment are true. It’s certainly a crowd-pleaser. My German burger had just the right amount of Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing; my wife enjoyed her Swiss, bacon and BBQ combo (regulars adore it); and our son vacillated between tearing through tater tots and realizing that well-seasoned, brittle onion ring batter is much more satisfying than the actual onions.
Red Onion
Address: 610 Wells St., Belgrade, MN 56312
Hours: Daily, 11 a.m.-10 p.m. seasonally. (They closed in mid-October last year.)
2 p.m.
Catch the World’s Largest Crow
Just when you thought you’d seen all the roadside attractions Minnesota has to offer — not just Paul Bunyan and Babe, but everything from a prairie chicken to a pelican — here comes the World’s Largest Crow, entering the chat and hovering over a highway.
Weighing 3,000 pounds and standing 18 feet tall on a 25-foot concrete base, this slightly goth-y photo op is the center of the Centennial Memorial Park that Belgrade organizers built in 1990. Surrounded by flags and more than 5,000 bricks that bear the names and birth years of the town’s residents, it was partially inspired by D.C.’s Vietnam Veterans Memorial and carries a hint of heaviness beneath the Atlas Obscura of it all.
Why a crow? It’s reportedly because the Crow River’s north fork is nearby, as well as Crow Lake, Crow Lake Township and Crow River Township. I couldn’t help being reminded of the melancholic 1994 movie that single-handedly introduced me to The Cure, Joy Division, and performative misanthropy. And our son, well, he was striking a Madonna-like pose within seconds of spotting it. I couldn’t be prouder.
World’s Largest Crow
Address: Centennial Flag Park, U.S. Highway 71, Belgrade, MN 56312
3 p.m.
Meet the family at Feathered Acres
We didn’t want this weekend’s stay to be more of a stylized IG shoot — Magnolia gone Minnesota, if you will — than a genuine glimpse of what it’s like to live on a working farm. Feathered Acres dials straight into that distinction from the second you step onto Trisha and Nolan Zachman’s 180-acre property. Our son felt immediately at home thanks to a welcoming party of purring cats and my favorite member of the extended family: Stout, a big ol’ Bernese Mountain Dog who relishes his freedom out in the fields and fresh air.
Trisha and Nolan are high school sweethearts who studied agronomy at North Dakota State University. They specialize in progressive agricultural practices (cover crops, rotational grazing, various soil improvements) and pasture-raised, regeneratively produced pork (no gestation crates here). Feathered Acres is based on land that belonged to Nolan’s family and reflects Trisha’s childhood on an Elrosa dairy farm.
Thanks in part to a mutually beneficial partnership with Niman Ranch, Feathered Acres is Certified Humane, which Trisha explains in detail once we’re settled in. Her free tour is informative without feeling 4-H-y, and casual enough to keep our son as interested as a 4-and-a-half-year-old could possibly be.
To be honest, he was more concerned with playing alongside one of Trisha’s children and wandering around the dusty paths and well-kept pens. That is, until the need for a nap clearly kicked in, and Trisha was happy to postpone the second part of our tour for the following morning.
Parents — I never thought I’d say this when I wasn’t one, but they just get it sometimes.

7:30 p.m.
Make room for the meat pizza at Keek’s
Here’s one way to make a cranky kid or discerning adult happy: order the French Lake-inator pizza at Keek’s. Named after the restaurant’s co-owner/meat supplier (a South Haven butcher shop), it boasts a blanket of savory, locally sourced Canadian bacon, sausage and hamburger and is served tavern-style. That’s the thin, cracker-y type of pizza writer J. Kenji López-Alt wrongfully attributed to Chicago — can’t they just have deep dish? — in a New York Times feature three years ago.
As Food Network star Molly Yeh explained in an Explore Minnesota interview, it’s more of a Midwest thing in general. And it’s quite good: easy to share and inhale among a table of three. We ate most of it, and all the plain-Jane pepperoni our son ordered. Turns out simple is just as satisfying when it comes to pizza, especially when the sauce is made by a Culinary Institute of America graduate.
As casual as Keek’s is, chef/co-owner Colin Kuechle is devoted to its guiding “Real Food from Scratch, the Best We Can” principle. That means a big, pretense-free menu of crowd-pleasers (specialty mac n cheese, five different pastas, ethereal fried chicken, hand-battered fish & chips, a whole lot of handhelds, etc.).
Exactly what you want to be eating after a long day, in other words.
Keek’s
Address: 711 State Highway 55, Watkins, MN 55389
Hours: Sunday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-8 p.m.; Friday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-9 p.m.
DAY TWO
11 a.m.
Line up for the breakfast buffet at Tutti Fruitti
After spending the early part of Saturday morning sampling day-old fritter bread (controversial opinion: Nelson’s fritter donuts are far better) and sipping oddly drinkable Maxwell House coffee in Feathered Acres’ converted milking barn, we were ready to drive about a half hour north towards the comparatively large town of Sauk Centre. Sitting eight minutes south of its main street is Tutti Fruitti, a farm that operates a casual on-site restaurant and self-serve market.
When we arrived for Saturday’s popular breakfast buffet, we were surprised to find a cavernous space with enough spillover seating and mismatched furniture for at least 100 people. Much of which was filled with happy families and comfort food like caramel rolls, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, and potatoes.
“I hope you’re going to get a break later,” I told what appeared to be co-owner Kevin Gwost, collecting dishes.
“I get called in for days like this,” he said after a short pause. “If it stops raining later, I’m gonna be out in the field.”
I asked him about his favorite thing on the à la carte menu.
“Food,” he said, plainly. “I’m not fussy. As long as it’s relatively cooked, I don’t care.”
After laughing at his dry sense of humor — I’m not a front-of-house guy either; I get it — another member of Kevin’s family stopped by to take our order. My wife and son opted for the buffet; I decided to try a “Hoe-Down Stuffed Hash Brown” that regulars often rely on during the week.
Everyone was quite happy with their choices. Especially our son, who enjoyed bits and pieces of his self-made sampler platter: watermelon, smoked sausage, grapes, bacon, a waffle, a biscuit, and his first wobbly chunk of cherry JELL-O. My decision to forego the buffet for a well-cooked slab of sausage-laced awesomeness is also highly recommended. Its buttery crunch reminded me of Waffle House’s scattered, smothered and covered spuds — if they were stuffed instead.
On the way out, we greeted Kevin’s gregarious wife, Marlene. Believe it or not, the couple has moonlighted in a beloved polka band for decades, and she occasionally plays her concertina in the dining room. Consider that your fun fact of the week!
We then headed over to the market that sells fresh produce on an honor system. We got the last clamshell of late-summer raspberries for a snack later and enough garlic to kill a vampire colony, then spent at least 10 minutes telling our son why we don’t need a bushel of tomatoes, despite how blush-and-beautiful they look.
Tutti Fruitti Kitchen & Market Farm
Address: 38914 County Road 186, Sauk Centre, MN 56378
Hours: Tutti Fruitti’s restaurant is closed on Sundays and open Monday-Friday, from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Its Market Farm operates from dawn to dusk, May through November.
12 p.m.
Stroll the country’s “Original Main Street”
Did you know the first American to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, Sinclair Lewis, was born and raised in Sauk Centre? That, friends, is why we’re here.
A bronze statue of the celebrated novelist stands outside the Sinclair Lewis Library and Sauk Centre Area History Museum. Downtown remains a still-kicking reminder of the small-town life Lewis satirized in his hit 1920 novel “Main Street.” Walk a few blocks to find independent businesses and colorful murals alongside such landmarks as the Art Deco Main Street Theatre; Geyermans Clothing Co., whose roots can be traced back to a general store from 1852; and the proudly haunted Palmer House.
1 p.m.
Gather pastel eggs back at Feathered Acres
If you’re staying at Feathered Acres with your family and need to split your tour up like we did, I recommend saving a short afternoon block for meeting the farm’s small-but-mighty goat herd and showing your kid(s) how a henhouse works. Trisha was very patient and encouraging with our son, who was eager to retrieve eggs and toss a bucket full of nutritional chicken feed out to everyone.
My favorite part of the tour: when Trisha explained that multi-colored eggs don’t necessarily mean better omelets. They’re merely a matter of genetics. (I know, I know — it’s “City Slickers III” around here.)
From the ins and outs of organic farming and pricey certifications to the key differences between cage-free, free-range and pasture-raised chickens, consumer-facing education is a big part of her broader goal here.
It’s why Feathered Acres calls itself a “Learning Farm & Inn,” and the family sometimes offers North House Folk School-like workshops in a well-maintained mixed-use space. More sessions are planned in the coming year, as well as a potential summer camp for kids who want to know more about farming.
2:30 p.m.
Eat a late lunch at Redhead Creamery
The original plan for Redhead Creamery was to join one of its farm tours, then sample a few signature dishes in its laid-back dining space. The only problem? Saturday tours are two hours long, and our kid was already restless.
If you’d prefer a one-hour overview of the “cow-to-curd” work happening on this family dairy farm, I recommend stopping by on a Friday instead. Serious foodies can opt for the complete opposite: the two-hour tour at noon on Saturday and, when offered, a separate distillery tour at 2:30 p.m. that lasts up to another hour.
You read that right. While Alise Sjostrom — the daughter of dairy farmers Jerry and Linda Jennissen — runs the award-winning creamery, her husband, Lucas, is the company’s self-proclaimed “VP of Bubbles.” After visiting nearly 200 distilleries and studying how to ferment lactose-rich whey, he developed Redhead’s flagship spirit, Azro Araga, which is similar in spirit to what you might find in Mongolia or Russia. That said, it is named after Azro P. McKinstry, a Minnesota dairy pioneer whose butter won an international grand sweepstakes at the 1885 New Orleans World’s Fair.
Redhead’s “CheeseStillery” also offers vodka and two collaborative bourbons, but that’s not why you’re here. You’re in Brooten, Minnesota, to try one-of-a-kind cocktails made with Azro Araga — think vodka with a silkier mouthfeel — including one brightened with pickle and lemon juice, and another built around Bloody Mary mix.
Both beg for a side of pan-fried cheese curds. We housed a hot skillet with peak-summer burst tomatoes and gobs of garlic, along with a cheese plate showcasing such in-house icons as North Fork Whiskey Washed Munster, Lucky Linda Clothbound Cheddar, and St. Anthony, a slightly funky original farmstead cheese aptly described as “like buttered toast pulled from a cozy kitchen next to a root cellar.”
Redhead Creamery
Address: 31535 463rd Ave., Brooten, MN
Hours: Redhead’s cheese shop is open 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Its kitchen/bar hours are 10:30 a.m.-4 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
4:30 p.m.
Snag a steak from a former grain bin
Just when our family thought nothing could match the sheer delight of discovering Mrs. B’s Kitchen, we found the meat locker mirage at Colfax Farms. A converted grain bin that once held 1,000 bushels now houses a freezer stocked with hundreds of pounds of farm-raised beef. Offerings vary by the day, but we found hand-packed quarter-pound burgers, soup bones, cuts for stews, fajitas and roasts, and lovingly rendered tallow.
That last item isn’t a health-food trend here. It reflects the nose-to-tail instincts of a family farm that has operated for around 150 years and now involves its fifth, sixth and seventh generations. In 2025, the Anderson family was named Outstanding Conservationists by the Kandiyohi Soil and Water Conservation District for practices that would make Feathered Acres proud. We’re talking rotational grazing, multispecies cover crops, reduced tillage, soil moisture monitoring and more.
Much like Tutti Frutti and Mrs. B’s, the Beef Bin operates on the honor system. As a sign inside explains, “Yes! We are self-serve,” and “Yes! We hope you don’t ruin it for everyone else.” By the looks of things, no one is about to rob Belgrade’s most charming little butcher shop. If anything, they’ll keep it kicking for years to come.
Colfax Farms
Address: 1560 285th Ave. NE, Belgrade, MN 56312
5 p.m.
Take an ice cream break at Deep Freeze
This stop is relatively simple: Kids dig ice cream, as do most rational adults. Deep Freeze serves it seasonally, alongside drive-in standards like Polish sausage, barbecue sandwiches, walking tacos and hot dogs.
Two unique options are Flavor Burst cones — vanilla soft serve with Zorro-like stripes in flavors such as cotton candy, green apple, caramel and banana ripple — and what our son ordered: a Crunchi Creme made with M&M’s. Billed as a “snowstorm in a cone,” it pumps candy directly into vanilla ice cream as it comes out of the machine. Ingenious, really, although his icy treat started melting immediately, so be sure to pack plenty of wet wipes. And cash; credit cards are not accepted here.
Deep Freeze
Address: 10 Fourth Ave. SE, New London, MN 56273
Hours: Open seasonally, typically from spring through Labor Day; daily, 11 a.m.-10 p.m., during peak summer.
Good to Know: Cash only.
5:30 p.m.
Walk right up to Mount Tom’s observation tower
Given how packed our itinerary was, we didn’t have time for a full-on hike with our son. Which is too bad; lately, he has taken to Minnesota’s seemingly endless network of trails, treating our state and regional parks like free-range playgrounds.
Sibley State Park’s main draw is Mount Tom. One of the highest points within a 50-mile radius, it’s a glacial knoll built from rock, sand and gravel that overlooks hardwood forests, remnant prairies, lakes and farmland.
The official Mount Tom Trail is a 3.3-mile loop with nearly 200 feet of climbing and descending, some steep gravel sections, mature oak trees and some of the park’s best overlooks. We did not have the time or energy for that, but we did access what is essentially the Mount Tom cheat code: Drive to the small parking lot near the summit, then follow a short, paved uphill path to the observation tower and its 360-degree view.
The tower is a destination in and of itself. World War I veterans serving in the Veterans Conservation Corps completed it in 1938, and its elevated viewing platform was added in 1992. Interpretive panels around the railing explain the landscape below, but an imagination machine like our son may be more interested in simply climbing the stairs and surveying their new kingdom.
Sibley State Park
Address: 800 Sibley Park Road NE, New London, MN 56273
Hours: Daily, 8 a.m.-10 p.m.
Good to know: A Minnesota state park vehicle permit or daily pass is required. Once inside, follow the signs to Mount Tom’s parking lot for a short walk to the tower.
8 p.m.
Celebrate The Long Drive-In’s 70th anniversary
After a short drive back to Feathered Acres and a restorative breather in our studio apartment-like farm stay, we quickly realized that a proper dinner would put us in danger of missing the start of the opening feature (“Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie,” sadly) that our son was dead set on seeing at The Long Drive-In.
Founded 70 years ago by the Sauk Centre-based Tillie Smith, it is one of just two Minnesota drive-ins with roots — and a remarkable continuous operation record — stretching back to the 1950s. (The other is Warren’s Sky-Vu Drive-In, which was badly damaged in storms on Sept. 3, forcing it to end the 2026 season early and raise money for a rebuild.)
Since The Long has a popular snack bar and we ate so late at Redhead Creamery, we decided to cobble together a kid-friendly dinner at the drive-in. Meaning: a hot dog and cheddar brat as appetizers, a refillable Diet Pepsi for drinks, a Moana-endorsed popcorn bucket for the main course, and a big candy box for dessert. YOLO, am I right?
Our son fell asleep by the time the sun went down, of course, but we did manage to wake him up halfway through the movie. It was enough to spark a surreal glint in his eyes, almost like a state of disbelief in what he was seeing: Paw Patrol on a big screen from the blanket-coated back of our compact SUV.
The Long Drive-In
Address: 24257 Riverside Drive, Long Prairie, MN 56347
Hours: Open seasonally, typically Friday-Sunday nights; gates generally open around 6:30 or 7 p.m., with movies beginning at dusk.
Good to know: Days and gate times change throughout the season, so check the weekly schedule before visiting. Movies play rain or shine.
DAY THREE
8 a.m.
Make breakfast and tackle a river trail
My original plan for the final morning of this trip was to get up early, grab sourdough bread from a buzzworthy new bakery called Full Circle Farm to Table, and make breakfast back at Feathered Acres with the bacon and eggs they sell to guests. Here’s the thing, though: driving 80 minutes round-trip for a loaf of bread is a little ambitious and borderline insane (read: grounds for divorce) when you are traveling with a wild kid and already have a pack of sourdough bagels from Mrs. B’s and a wedge of highly meltable Havarti from Redhead Creamery.
Our Star of the North itineraries are supposed to be realistic and replicable, too, so here’s what you should do on your final morning at Feathered Acres: make amazing breakfast sandwiches with those aforementioned bagels, roughly sliced cheese, and the bacon and eggs you bought straight from the farm. They’re not just a matter of convenience; the eggs’ yolks have a rich, orangey-yellow hue that reflects the happy lives of Feathered Acres’ chickens. And the bacon? Well, it crisps up beautifully and is packed with the noticeable umami notes of high-quality pork.
Once you’ve crushed those sandwiches, head outside and walk along the property’s well-manicured path near the North Folk Crow River. My son and I did it with Feathered Acres’ fun-loving farm dog, which led to one of my favorite unforced memories from this trip: him running off on his own, with Stout leading the way, hinting at a not-so-distant future with our own dog and a seemingly endless array of mind-clearing trails to choose from throughout Minnesota.
That is what memorable trips are made of.
12:30 p.m.
Take a pit stop at Quarry Park
The drive back from Feathered Acres to most points in the metro area takes about two hours. Admittedly, that’s a little trying if you’re traveling with a kid or are easily bored, so we decided to work a walk in at Quarry Park on the way home.
I’m so glad we did. I’d never been to Waite Park’s peerless nature preserve before, and its 2.3-mile Outer Loop is a mostly flat, ideal tour of the area’s flooded granite pits, grout piles, and exposed bedrock. Nature’s playground, essentially.
If you visit during the summer, you’ll also get to witness all the hormonal teenagers trying to outdo one another at Quarry 2. It’s a dramatic, cliff-lined swimming hole that draws a steady stream of peer-pressured jumpers and nail-biting onlookers.
Our son’s response: “Try.” Maybe next time, kid.
Quarry Park & Nature Preserve
Address: 1802 County Road 137, Waite Park, MN 56387
Hours: Open daily from 8 a.m. to a half hour after sunset.
3 p.m.
Protein maxx at McDonald’s Meats
Before heading back home, be sure to make one final stop at McDonald’s Meats in Clear Lake. The fourth-generation butcher shop has anchored the city’s downtown since 1914, when John Leo McDonald purchased the Fred Mosford Meat Market. His extended family transformed it into what is now proudly called “The Jerky Stop.” Like many of Minnesota’s stellar butcher shops, it produces everything from bacon and bratwurst to summer sausage in an on-site sausage kitchen and smokehouse.
Calling the selection extensive is an understatement: McDonald’s offers 26 varieties of jerky and more than 60 fresh and smoked sausages. Good luck deciding between award-winning specialties like raspberry chipotle bacon and blueberry cheddar wild rice sausage. Consider this one last taste of the Central Lakes region, and the ideal way to wrap the weekend up with a restaurant-quality dinner in your own house.
Chuck eye steak frites, anyone?
McDonald’s Meats
Address: 8601 Main Ave., Clear Lake, MN 55319
Hours: 8:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m. Monday-Friday; 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday; 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
