Reign ends as agriculture shines for dairy breakfast

Thousands waited out the weekend rains for a meal and fun on the farm at the Sevastopol FFA Dairy Breakfast at Wilke R Organic Farm in Sturgeon Bay on Sunday. Guests were greeted with pancakes, eggs, and plenty of cheese, putting Door County staples like cherry, syrup, cider, and milk on full display. After breakfast, the crowd shifted to the century-plus-old operation, highlighting its decade-long organic farming chapter. The Wilke family showcased its farm to everyone from neighbors to U.S. Rep. Tony Wied and Alice in Dairyland, Halei Heinzel.

 

 

Sunday was especially emotional for Heinzel, who saw her chapter as the state’s Alice close in her first visit to Door County since she was selected in May 2024. Heinzel said this weekend felt like a homecoming for her, and it was a fitting end to her reign.

 

 

Dozens of volunteers helped make the Sevastopol FFA Dairy Breakfast a success this year, including making sure the parking lots were dry enough to handle the influx of traffic and serving guests in the breakfast lines. Proceeds from the annual event support scholarships and other programming organized by the Sevastopol FFA.
