For some of the best and freshest home-cooked food you’ve ever had, head to a Wisconsin farm. For an even better meal, head to the Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center. This state-of-the-art, interactive agricultural education center is located in Manitowoc County and it has a little cafeteria that serves some delicious farm-fresh Wisconsin food. It’s called the Wisconsin Cafe and it’s a place you should visit. Here’s why.
The Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center opened in 2018 to tell the story of agriculture, and it helps people better understand the source of the food they eat.
But here’s also a delicious way to learn about the importance of farming – just head to the Wisconsin Cafe and sample a little bit of agricultural bounty!
Start with a little dessert - the center serves up delicious Cedar Crest ice cream in a place called “Ice Cream Acres.” There are 16 flavors to choose from!
But you might want to stick to one scoop – there’s a lot more dairy deliciousness waiting for you. The Wisconsin Café serves up fresh, locally-sourced options for breakfast and lunch.
Every dish is made with Wisconsin farm ingredients. Savor a Wisconsin grass-fed Angus burger, a plate of Wisconsin bacon and eggs, or a delicious order of hand-battered Wisconsin cheese curds!
The Wisconsin Cafe is a great place to grab a meal if you’re heading up the Lake Michigan coast toward Door County. You can eat in the cafe without touring the center – although if you have time, you’ll want to fully experience this place. Learn more on the Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center website. There’s a lot to discover in Manitowoc – it’s one of Wisconsin’s most overlooked towns!
