Rochester - Olmsted County - Dodge County - Goodhue County - Fillmore County - Wabasha County - Mower County

Across Southern Minnesota, small towns and country roads connect fields, families, and local pride. In Rochester and the surrounding communities, coffee shops open their doors to a mix of farmers, students, and nurses heading out to work. Local restaurants serve meals built on Midwest comfort food, otherwise known as burgers, steaks, and homemade desserts that draw people back week after week. Around town, nurseries and flower markets add color to porches and storefronts, reminders of the region’s agricultural roots. The pace is steady, the work reliable, and the pride in craftsmanship runs deep.
