Community
Winfield is a welcoming village shaped by the West Branch DuPage River, quiet natural spaces, and a connected town center. The forest preserve, Metra station, Klein Creek, and familiar community institutions give residents a hometown that feels peaceful, practical, and close-knit.
The collaboration
Winfield is a town I spend time in nearly every day, and I am deeply thankful for the community. My two oldest children were born there, and our family is especially grateful for the excellent hospital that cared for us.
Our collaboration with Sweet Reserve first began in Lombard. When the team opened its Winfield location, they asked whether I would create a mug for the community, and I was excited to say yes.
In the middle of the busy western suburbs, Winfield stands out for its abundance of trees and green space. I also love its antique shops and Kline Creek Farm, whose historic setting adds another wonderful dimension to the area.
