About
Since the inaugural Michigan “Breakfast on the Farm” event was held at Dutch Meadows Dairy, a family-owned dairy farm owned by the Tony and Patti Jandernoa family near the mid-Michigan town of St. Johns, on June 20, 2009, interest in replicating this event has led to the formation of three events in 2010 and eight for 2011!
All totaled, more than 7,500 people attended the three 2010 Breakfast on the Farm events. At each event, attendees had a chance to learn how cows are milked, pet a calf, take wagon rides, see tractors and eat ice cream. Questions about farming and food production are encouraged.
