What the Fond du Lac County Breakfast on the Farm Is
Breakfast on the Farm is a morning on a working dairy that gives the public a first-hand look at agriculture. The Agri-Business Council of Envision Greater Fond du Lac has held it for 37 years, and it moves to a different farm each year, so every edition tells a new farm's story. The most recent edition, the 37th annual, was held Sunday, June 28, 2026 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. during National Dairy Month.
The 2026 Host Farm
The 2026 breakfast was at Tower View Acres, N7268 Tower Road, Mount Calvary. Ron and Mary Baus started farming there in 1983, and their son Jason and daughter-in-law Diana joined as partners in 2016 to form Tower View Acres. The farm milks 220 cows and farms 690 acres, using an automatic feeding system and robotic milkers.
What You Get
A country-style breakfast of eggs, ham and cheese, pork sausage, pancakes, applesauce, coffee and milk, served in the Lakeview Electric Contractors Food Tent by Fond du Lac County celebrity guests and volunteers. Beyond the meal there was:
- A local cheese tasting tent
- The Alliant Energy Foundation Farm Education Zone
- A petting zoo
- Farm tours
- A kiddie pedal pull and other children's activities

Questions
Is it for me if I am not a farmer?
Yes. The breakfast is open to the public, and the point is to show the community how agriculture works in Fond du Lac County.
Can I pay at the gate?
For 2026, tickets were sold in advance at the locations above. Check the Envision event page before you go for the current year.
Will it be on the same farm next year?
No. The breakfast changes farms each year, so watch the Envision Greater Fond du Lac events page for the next host and date.
