BERRY FARM RESTAURANT & BAKERY (906) 523-4271 This delightful spot is a seasonal restaurant, bakery, ice cream parlor with Jilbert's ice cream, gift shop, and animal farm-but not a farm market with berries. (It started out as a farm market for a nearby berry farm.) Local berries are used in the jams and jellies, mostly $3.50 a half pint: raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, blueberry, jalape'o raspberry for crackers, and more. This is a wonderful destination for an outing, or stop for car-weary travelers bound for Houghton and beyond, The restaurant offers a varied menu: full breakfasts; burgers, soups, fresh fish, pasties every day; and changing specials that are about $5 at weekday lunchtime and $8 To $11 for whitefish, turkey, and steak. Pannukakku (Finnish oven egg pancakes) are a breakfast favorite. Fresh whitefish is usually on the menu. Friday's fish special offers fresh whitefish, fresh lake trout, and cod with a salad bar for $8-$9 in summer 2005. Saturday specials change. Sunday it's always turkey dinner ($8). Bakery items, in addition to cookies, turnovers, doughnuts, and from-scratch breads (white, rye, and whole wheat), include traditional Scandinavian things like prune tarts, nisu (a sweet, braided cardamom-flavored bread that goes with coffee), and rieska, a rye flatbread.
