Posted on the Sweet Fields Eatery’s Facebook page today (Tuesday, February 11) was this message from owner Mari Harries concerning the unique Mountain Lake restaurant: “I am sad to report Sweet Fields will be closing on Friday, February 14. Until then, we will be open for coffee and baked goods. Thank you for your support and understanding during this difficult process. Also, after Friday, your Sweet Fields gift cards will be available to use at River City Eatery in Windom! (also owned and operated by Harries). Sweet Fields opened on March 27, 2013.
In another Facebook post, Harries added: “I appreciate your concerns and will admit it was a very tough decision for me to make as I do not like to quit, but I must make the best decision for myself and my health and for the successful business I have always dreamed of that I continue to build in Windom at River City Eatery. But most importantly, I must do the best thing for my family, especially with the difficult cards we have been dealt in the last few months. My deepest wish and hope is that you will continue to support River City Eatery and kindly accept my decision.”
