LENNOX, S.D. – Just 20 minutes away from South Dakota’s biggest city is an unexpected oasis. Chickens and geese freely roam and a traditional barn with a shining metal roof towers over the prairie. People gather every Friday and Sunday in the summer and eat farm-to-table pizza made in a wood-fire oven while enjoying the outdoors.
