Dairy farms in Door and Kewaunee counties will be the host of some of the biggest events the area has seen since the beginning of the pandemic. Both the Kewaunee County Breakfast on the Farm and the Sevastopol FFA Dairy Breakfast were canceled last year due to the pandemic after hosting thousands at Kinnard Farms in Casco and the Valmy Thresheree grounds the year before. Hosting the first big event on the downside of the pandemic was on the radar of Aaron Augustian when his farm in Kewaunee agreed to host the event three years ago. As volunteers descend on Augustian Farms to start preparing for 5,000 hungry people on Sunday, Augustian says the Kewaunee County Dairy Promotion Committee and the farm worked with the Kewaunee County Public Health Department to help make sure they could provide a safe event for people to attend.

Augustian is excited for Sunday’s opportunity to show off the barns and their conservation practices and hopes other operations get their chance to follow Kinnard Highland Farms in 2022 and Salentine Homestead Dairy in 2023. The Sevastopol FFA will host their dairy breakfast on June 27th at Sturgeon Bay’s DeFere Family Farm.

Update: According to jacksonport.net and the Sevastopol FFA Alumni Facebook page, their 2021 Dairy Breakfast scheduled for June 27th has been canceled as of earlier this month.
