CASCADE — Lee Aderman and her husband have four children—and about 50 additional kids, only they have feathers. They own and operate Aderman Acres, a small hobby poultry farm in the Village of Cascade. “We’re not in it for the money, we aren’t making any money. We just enjoy it for the animals,” Lee said. “That’s really important to us — knowing where our food is coming from.” In 2022, the family launched their miniature farm with just four chickens.

Incumbent Mayor Ryan Sorenson won the mayoral race against opponent Alderman John Belanger by more than 2,500 votes. While the polls were still open, I spoke to some voters preparing to cast their ballots at the Mead Public Library. Best friends of 30 years, John Wenzel and Eric Larson, arrived together.
