A Great Place... That is what I think of living in Viroqua. Now even Mother Earth Newsthinks so too! Our town has made the third annual list of the "9 great place you never hard of." I know the vast majority out there have never heard of Viroqua, WI. For sure, I also know they usually can't pronounce it. Since the article I have had 3 appointments from people who have read the magazine and would like to come out this way to investigate living here.
Some of the special things that make 
living in Viroqua interesting is our city is commitment to sustainable agriculture and organic farming. We have a Waldorf school, which brings in many new families every year, and we also have done a great job keeping our Main Street stores full with new businesses and shoppers.
In spring and summer Main Street is always bustling with many shoppers and tourist. On Saturday morning the Farmer's Market is the center of activity located in the parking lot of our community college WWTC. It is where the local organic CSA farmers have booths to sell fresh picked produce, there are the Amish who are selling quilts and baskets and local artisans with jewelry and other crafts for sale. We also have a great 18-hole golf course; of which I am a member. Then there are the wonderful rivers and streams that bring in anglers who are eager to get into that clear fast water. These well known trout streams offer some great fly-fishing. Thanks Mother Earth, you just let one of the best kept secretes out of the bag!

If you enjoy the great outdoors, then you are going to have a great time if you get a chance to come and visit Stoddard, Wisconsin. It is located right along the edge of the Mississippi River only 10 miles south of LaCrosse, WI. From this little village, with a population of only 815, you can look clear across the river at one of its widest places and see Iowa's wooded bluffs. The area offers up some excellent boating, hunting and fishing. No matter which season, there is always something going on that centers around activities out on the river. In winter, it's ice fishing and snowmobiling. Springtime brings walleye fishing, while the summer is filled with boating and jet skiing. Finally in fall, there is always more fishing but there is hunting too. It is either for duck's or out in the woods for Deer. Stoddard is a year round outdoors' sportsman's paradise.
backyards that overlook the river and enjoy private access and private piers. These modest, older homes are in top demand. If one should go on the market they get snapped up quickly by those in the know. There are several great places to eat in town with the Thirsty Turtle being a favorite place to gather after a day on the river.
