L and L Farms and Greenhouse in Caledonia is open for the season — even as recovery from an April 17 storm continues. "You can't be in shock for long," said owner Lance Malicki. "You gotta keep going."
High winds severely damaged the property, ripping the roof and doors from a pole barn, destroying a greenhouse and the plants inside, toppling a tree onto the house, and damaged two horse enclosures. "A lot of chaos," Malicki said about the storm's aftermath at 8538 Wisconsin 38. Malicki said early appraisals estimate the damage exceeds $200,000.
"It's over 200,000, maybe better than that," Malicki said. In the days following the storm, family, friends, customers, and even strangers showed up to help with cleanup.
