Kenosha County Dairy Breakfast

We live in Wisconsin so we frequently pass farms.   However, it's not often that we stop and walk around the barn. However, this past weekend, a local farmer opened his doors to the public as Kenosha County hosted its annual dairy breakfast.

This is a great way to help children and even adults understand agriculture and where our food comes from. 

As a former journalist, I live by the old adage, "Show me, don't tell me." Here, the girls can see, touch and yes, smell the animals and tools a farmer uses to produce the food we eat.

 It was interesting to learn that most of our local farms are family owned. The average Wisconsin dairy cow generates more than $34,000 a year.

Finally, breakfast was a big hit with my girls. Lauren said the eggs were the best she ever had. If you have a chance to go to the county's annual dairy breakfast, I highly recommend it. It's a fun way to learn about life on a farm.
