Agriculture takes center stage in this year’s Wisconsin Science Festival. As a result, Farm Wisconsin will feature special activities—including farm bus tours. On Saturday, October 19 from 9 AM – 1 PM, guests will have the opportunity to tour Grotegut Dairy Farm in person in a family field trip-style event. Regular admission includes the special farm bus tour and other science activities.
“We are thrilled to participate in this statewide event and offer guests unique activities,” shares Abigail Winkel, brand manager. “Thanks to our partnership with the Wisconsin Science Festival, visitors on Saturday will have the same opportunity our school field trips have, to go behind the scenes – and quite literally into the barn – of a local, family-owned dairy farm.”
In addition to the bus tours, numerous interactive activities will showcase the diversity of Wisconsin agriculture. Science Festival attendees will discover how science intertwines with all aspects of food, fuel, and fiber production. Highlights include an all-new corn maze on site and cranberry exploration courtesy of the Wisconsin State Cranberry Growers Association.
