Official Butter Sponsor
As the Official Butter Sponsor of the Real Wisconsin Cheese Grill, Foremost Farms donated 1,200 pounds of its award-winning salted butter. The donated butter was from the Reedsburg plant. The butter was used to make thousands of grilled cheese sandwiches served to fairgoers throughout the event.
More than a dozen cooperative employees also volunteered at the grill. Thus, helping serve one of the fair’s most popular attractions, which sold an average of 5,000 sandwiches each day.
From award-winning products to employee volunteerism, Foremost Farms was proud to celebrate Wisconsin dairy and showcase the dedication of our employees, members and cooperative at this year’s Wisconsin State Fair.
