Family Foods: Chuck and Vickie Dahl


Chuck and Vickie Dahl live in Mineral Point, Wisconsin where they grew up helping their mother Pascalena Galle Dahl, cultivate a large vegetable garden to raise ingredients for family meals that celebrated her parents’ Calabrian heritage. Both Chuck and Vickie live in their grandparents’ Italian neighborhood near the former Zinc Works where Italians followed Cornish and Irish into mining.  They keep gardens with heirloom vegetables and prepare the family’s mix of Italian-American and local cooking, including raising pigs for a distinctive peppery smoked sausage. Come to Folklore Village to experience the culinary delight that mixes family heritages with food way traditions!
