Your birthday cards and texts to Josh Salentine of Salentine Homestead Dairy in Luxemburg were appreciated, but a visitor to the farm on Thursday may have overshadowed them.

In conjunction with the Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin ahead of the World Dairy Expo in Madison, September 30th-October 3rd, comedian Charlie Berens stopped by the farm to “say hi” to the family and record some videos promoting the event. When he visited, Salentine says Berens was a friendly, down-to-earth guy, showcasing the Midwestern charm audiences around the country have come to know. He appreciates the effort the Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin organization puts into promoting their products and shining a light on the dairy industry in Kewaunee County.

His visit to Salentine Homestead Dairy is part of a busy stretch for Berens in northeast Wisconsin. He also shot the Salmon’s Meat Products Bratzooka at the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers game on Thursday and will play in front of sold-out theatres in Fish Creek and Manitowoc next week.
