WATERTOWN — The Watertown Agri-Business Club (WABC) invites guests to their annual dairy breakfast on Father’s Day weekend, June 15 and 16 at Gudenkauf Farm in Watertown. The breakfast will occur both Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 12:30 pm.
The breakfast features all-you-can-eat pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs, cheese, milk, juice, coffee, and ice cream! All proceeds from the event are given back to the community, primarily through youth scholarships for students pursuing a career in agriculture.
“We are excited to have the Gudenkauf family hosting again,” said WABC President, Mike Dettmann. “Gudenkauf’s are extremely active in our club and hosted our breakfast eight years ago! It’s a lot of work to host such an event and we are grateful they are once again opening their farm for our annual dairy breakfast.”
Gudenkauf Farm is owned and operated by Mike and Anna Gudenkauf. They are the third generation to farm on Little Coffee Road outside of Watertown. Bernard and Emma Gudenkauf established the farm in 1940, with seven cows and a barn with no electricity. They then transitioned the farm to Mike’s parents Alvin and Judy who ran the farm until 1999.
Today, the Gudenkaufs milk 150 cows while farming 800 crop acres with their children Maryann and Greg. They also custom farm 1,500 acres which includes combining, planting, and baling. They believe that it is important to keep family in farm, as they run their operation with no hired help. Gudenkauf Farm is located at N8232 Little Coffee Road, Watertown, WI 53094.
There will be parking available at the farm and shuttle buses running from Walmart in Watertown. Adult tickets are $10 in advance and $11 at the door, children 6-10 years old are $5 in advance and $6 at the door, five and under eat free! In addition to a delicious breakfast on the farm, guests will be able to enjoy live music featuring the Gary Beal Band, a model farm display by John Klettke and wagon rides. Make sure to bring dad and make it the perfect family outing for Father’s Day weekend.
The Watertown Agri-Business Club is a non-profit that raises money to support local youth pursuing secondary education in agriculture. Our purpose is to promote an active interest in the community, to unify and strengthen the agricultural business in the community, to establish beneficial producer-consumer relations, provide a place for members to freely express themselves on ideas and problems in the agricultural business field and to enable members to speak with a common voice on matter pertaining to the agricultural business world.
