Elawa Farm, a historic former country escape built by a couple with a meatpacking fortune, has evolved into a foundation with an ethereal cafe, elegant market and earnest mission.
The Cafe at Elawa Farm opened last October in Lake Forest, the fabled North Shore suburb 30 miles or so from Chicago.
It is, in fact, a cozy place for breakfast or lunch with delicious pastries and coffee in an extremely lovely setting.
