The Wisconsin Dells FFA Alumni & Supporters are hosting a Farm to Fork Breakfast Fundraiser on Saturday, June 3rd from 8am to 12pm. There will be farm tours, animals,and activities for the kids and adults alike. Chris Davis, Wisconsin Dells FFA Alumni Member says this breakfast highlights community businesses and Wisconsin agriculture. He explains more about how they’re working to connect consumers to agriculture through the breakfast and with other community partnerships as well.
The breakfast is taking place at the Wisconsin Dells High School (1501 Brew Farm Rd, Wisconsin Dells, WI 53965) and is $10. Attendees can enjoy breakfast, School District farm tours, animals, kids activities, tractor rides, tractor/cash raffle, 4-H ice cream and a tractor/car show.
Davis says, “Bring the family and check out the new school and the agriscience department’s Brew Farm project that includes gardens, animals, hydroponics and more.”
The breakfast menu features grilled cheese using homemade bread, Mullins Cheese which some of the local dairies, including Davis’ supply milk for, scrambled eggs from the school’s very own chickens, locally made sausage, cranberries, donuts, milk from Sassy Cow Creamery, and coffee that’s brewed locally from Bella Goose Coffee.
“We’re putting on this event to show our community what is grown locally and help our tourists and community members learn how they’re connected to agriculture,” says Davis. “A majority of the funds raised will be going towards the new Brew Farm project at the High School so we can continue that education and teach the next generation how to take care of animals and where their food actually comes from.”

Many know Wisconsin Dells as the waterpark capital of the world, but there’s more to it than that and agriculture is important there too. Davis and the Wisconsin Dells FFA Alumni and Supporters are committed to working with their community members.
They work with local restaurants on farm to table efforts by supplying them with the eggs and vegetables from the Brew Farm. They are planning to expand to have beef, pigs, and sheep and will then provide the meat to restaurants as well as use it in the Wisconsin Dells school lunch program.
