Breakfast celebrates dairy, fathers in Algoma

Approximately 5,500 people and 300 volunteers took advantage of a Father's Day tradition in Kewaunee County on Sunday, many of whom brought the most important man in their lives with them for the morning. El-Na Farms in Algoma hosted this year's Breakfast on the Farm, shuttling people through the line of food featuring scrambled eggs, pizza, strawberry sundaes, and more before allowing them to explore the rest of the farm to get an up-close look at Kewaunee County's dairy industry from farm to fork. Throughout the event's footprint, families participated in exhibits, games, and tours as they made memories together. The day was extra special for the Fenendael family, representing the fifth, sixth, and seventh generations of the Fenendael family to farm the land. Shane and Jordan Fenendael reflected on the lessons they learned from their fathers that helped their dairy operation grow to what it is today.

 

 

The event raises awareness for the local dairy industry and money for the organization's community outreach efforts throughout the year. Next year, the Kewaunee County Breakfast on the Farm will be hosted by Pagel's Ponderosa Dairy in Kewaunee.
