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.â
â
The Cafe at Elawa Farm opened last October in Lake Forest, the fabled North Shore suburb 30 miles or so from Chicago.â
â
It is, in fact, a cozy place for breakfast or lunch with delicious pastries and coffee in an extremely lovely setting. â
