Breakfast on the Farm

2011 Breakfast

(Sponsored by the Fond du Lac Area Agri-Business Council)

Attendance was more than expected as an estimated 10,000 people joined the Fond du Lac Area Agri-Business Council celebrate June Dairy Month at the 2011 Breakfast on the Farm on Sunday, June 26. The Breakfast was held at Rosendale Dairy near Pickett.

Volunteers served just under 6,000 breakfasts this year, beating the previous record of 3,650 in 2008. Guests came from as far away as northern Illinois, Florida, California and Canada; since so many people travel for summer, many were visiting family and friends in the area during the weekend.

Sales for the Agricultural Ambassador Program Money Raffle were strong at the breakfast, drawing in hopeful participants and generous supporters. The raffle raised more than $6,000 – all proceeds will be used to continue educating thousands of Fond du Lac County area youth through the Agricultural Ambassador Program. Thank you to all who participated in the raffle. Additionally, sundae and water sales at the breakfast generated another $4,000 for classroom presentations.
