Kalona, Iowa – August 9, 2025 – The wait is over! Dutch Country Table has officially broken ground, marking the start of an exciting new chapter for our community. In the coming weeks, you’ll begin to see major progress taking place on-site as we move from vision to reality.

This milestone would not have been possible without the incredible support and expertise of so many local partners:

MMS Consultants – Site Planning Schwartz Builders – Restaurant Design Amy Ihrig – Interior Design The Dig Studios - Website & Marketing Encite Architecture – Architectural Services Rapids Wholesale – Kitchen Design Develop Legacy – Restaurant Seating Design Gingerich Tiling – Demolition & Site Prep Blake Hershberger Enterprises – Foundation Work Honeycreek - Site Management The City of Kalona and the City Administration – For working alongside us to see this dream come to life.

We know there’s an even longer list of people and businesses working behind the scenes every day to make this project possible, and we’ll be sharing more recognition as the build continues.

Our team is buzzing with excitement as we take these first big steps toward opening our doors. We can’t wait for the day we serve our very first customer at Dutch Country Table – and we’re counting down the days until we can welcome you in.

Stay tuned for more updates as the walls go up, the kitchen comes together, and this dream becomes a place where family, friends, and neighbors gather around the table.
