Our visitors fill us with so much joy, seeing Wisconsin agriculture through their eyes. These retired Oklahoma teachers were a delight to meet. Upon a recommendation from Henning's Wisconsin Cheese they had a great experience in our discovery center, ate in the cafe, saw the miracle of calf birth and even got to name the calf Bonnie after their oldest granddaughter! Thanks for visiting. We hope you have fun seeing Lambeau Field next! 🐄🧀🏈

We recently welcomed this retired farmer (on the right) who came all the way from Ireland to visit Farm Wisconsin! 🇮🇪🧑‍🌾

During his visit to Wisconsin’s farmlands, he made a special point to visit us to see how Farm Wisconsin teaches kids about agriculture and where our food comes from.
