HOWARD LAKE, MN – In honor of “June is Dairy Month,” families can experience just what goes into a dairy operation with Breakfast on the Farm, Saturday, June 20.
The event is hosted by Goldview Farms, the family farm of Greg and Faye Bakeberg, near Howard Lake.
“It’s about educating the public and seeing the inside of a farm, not just the outside,” said Faye Bakeberg.
The family had heard of other counties doing this type of event and wanted to bring it to Wright County, she said.
There will be a pancake breakfast from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. for $2 a person, with children age 5 and under eating for free.
There will be a variety of family activities including wagon rides, a tour of the farm, educational agriculture booths, free ice cream, and much more.
Staffed by the Dassel-Cokato and Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted FFA Chapters will be a children’s barnyard.
Children will also receive a free picture taken with one of the calves.
Any of the profits from this first-time event will go to the local food shelf, Bakeberg said.
Due to limited parking space, a free shuttle from HLWW High School is required of visitors for the event, but handicapped accessibility is available on the farm site.
