June Dairy Month is a long-standing tradition in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Milk Breakfast or similar event is a great way for people of all ages to spend time with family, meet local farmers, taste delicious food, and learn about Wisconsin agriculture.
You can find your local milk breakfast event by visiting the website Wisconsin dairy farmers website with an interactive map detailing dairy events across the state.
Once you’ve found your local event, here’s what you can expect during your visit:
Entertainment
From trips, through wagon rides, to games for children – everyone will find something for themselves at the milk breakfast. While each event will feature a different, unique set of attractions, you will likely be able to see tractors, farm equipment and other machinery up close.
Depending on breakfast, there may also be an opportunity to listen to local music, mingle with local stars, or take part in yard games.
Food
It’s not a dairy breakfast without plenty of food grown and raised in Wisconsin. Each breakfast has its own menu, but you can expect plenty of Wisconsin dairy products, including milk, cheese, yogurt and ice cream. Additionally, most dairy breakfasts include a classic spread of eggs, potatoes and pancakes.
In addition to the breakfast itself, many breakfast options often include displays and booths from local organizations that offer free samples of everything from cheese curds to snacks. Make the most of your visit by visiting the stand displays and talking to local farmers.
Experience
If you’ve never been to a dairy farm before, look no further! This is a great opportunity to experience farming up close and have a once-in-a-lifetime family experience.
Take a walk through up-to-date dairy barns and milking parlors to see cows in their element. You will see for yourself how passionately farmers care for their cows, providing them with bedding, nutritious feed and up-to-date amenities that keep the cows elated, fit and comfortable.
Many dairy breakfasts also offer the opportunity to see farm equipment up close. Step into the seat of a tractor or even a combine to feel what a farmer sees every day.
Timeless memories
Above all, milk breakfasts are a family experience that is a staple of Wisconsin’s summer culture. From seeing animals up close to trying modern foods, the memories made during June Dairy Month events are priceless. Family members of all ages are sure to talk about their experiences long after breakfast is over.
