Viroqua

Also known as: Viroqua, WI, Viroqua, Wisconsin

A small city (~4,400) in Vernon County, southwestern Wisconsin — the cultural and commercial heart of the Wisconsin Driftless. Home to the Pleasant Ridge Waldorf School, the Driftless Folk School, the Organic Valley cooperative headquarters (~10 mi north in La Farge), and one of the densest concentrations of independent organic farms, herbalists, and acupuncturists in the upper Midwest. The directory's Viroqua anchor is Driftless Healing Arts (Rebeca Ratté, L.Ac) at Hotel Fortney.

What this is

Viroqua is the principal small-city anchor of the Wisconsin [[driftless-area|Driftless]] — a town that, since the 1970s back-to-the-land movement and the founding of the [[organic-valley|Organic Valley]] cooperative in nearby La Farge (1988), has become one of the most concentrated organic-agriculture, alternative-education, and contemplative-practice nodes in the upper Midwest. The town’s Main Street is one of the most intact in the state; the surrounding rolling Driftless coulees support hundreds of small organic farms.
