FARLEY, Iowa — After a year on the road, an area coffee truck has put down roots in a brick-and-mortar location.

Thirsty Goat recently opened at 106 First St. inside Cottonwood Custom Tees in Farley. The shop is open seven days a week and offers a variety of coffee drinks, tea and other beverages in the heart of downtown Farley.

“This is one of those things that people have always talked about wanting in Farley, but there was never a good spot,” said owner Jayme Lammers. “I was able to find the space to do it, … and everyone has been very supportive.”

First, let’s address the elephant in the room: Is it stuffing or is it dressing?

Technically, if it’s not cooked inside the turkey, it’s dressing. For some unknown reason, though, in the past decade or two, stuffing has become the term of choice, no matter how it’s cooked. So that’s what I’m calling these delightful versions of the holiday staple.

Over the years, I’ve taken many informal polls around the Thanksgiving dinner table. Hands down, stuffing always wins the “favorite dish” category, which makes me wonder why I don’t make it more often.
