Wisconsin State Farmer
An upclose meeting with a cow at a dairy breakfast.

It's that time of year when farms across Wisconsin throw open their barn doors and welcome rural and urban neighbors alike to view a working dairy farm. These events not only serve up a great breakfast featuring farm products but also allows dairy producers a chance to educate their guests on the importance of the dairy industry. 

So whether your visiting a local farm or sampling cheese or butter at a festival, be sure to thank a dairy farmer for all the hard work that goes into producing that wholesome goodness.
