EAT LIKE A COW!
Do you love a hearty Farm Breakfast? Now, I don’t mean a super slam or an odyssey plate full of food, I mean a good old fashioned down on the farm breakfast!
June is Dairy Month in Wisconsin, and a popular event across the state is the Farm Breakfast. If you live in Germantown or Mequon, the big event THIS SATURDAY June 26th, from 7-11am. The menu includes: All you can eat pancakes, WI ham and cheese omelette, Cottage Cheese, White or Chocolate Milk, Assorted Cheeses, Sample New Dairy Products, and smooth ice cream with strawberries or chocolate.
Never been to a farm breakfast? Bring the kids and grandkids and be ready to eat AND have fun! My kids favorite part was to watch the FFA (Future Farmers of America) kids stirring hundreds of eggs in the 6 foot frying pan! After chowing down, according to the website you can enjoy the following: “Huge Kid Zone area, face painting, petting zoo, live music, pictures with calves, wagon rides, clown, free samples of NEW dairy products, cow milking contest, antique tractor display, scavenger hunt, crafts, farm tours and more.”
Almost each county has a Farm Breakfast in the month of June. If you live in the city or the suburbs of Greater Milwaukee, you can check here for a list of a Farm Breakfasts that are worth a short drive
It’s been a tradition in my family for decades… Let me know how you liked it!

If you are looking for a home for sale in Germantown, WI, mark your calendar for Thursday March 25th! That’s right!
Thursday evening after work and through the dinner hour, ambitious agents will be holding 10-15 properties open in Germanton.
We realize with spring on the way, people are busy with kids activities on the weekends. In order to help out these busy families, evening opens during the week are becoming more and more popular.
In an effort to think “out of the box” in this unpredictable market, I started doing evening opens last fall. At the National Association of Realtors national conference in November, Matthew Ferrara spoke of the new generation of buyers and marketing to their needs and schedules. He confirmed what I had been trying.
Is it successful? TWO of the homes I held open last fall, sold to buyers whose first visit to the house was during one of those creatively timed open houses! The buyers were happy to be able to run in after work on their way home. And let me tell you, the sellers were quite pleased, not only with the creative timing, but the RESULTS!
So check it out this coming Thursday, March 25th in Germantown. Call me for a list and a map of all the opens being held 262-437-5853. If you are looking for a home in the suburbs of Greater Milwaukee and need some help, call me to get started… or you can visit my facebook page at bit.ly/PatsRealEstateFanPage.

Germantown was voted "Best Place to Live" by
Money Magazine in 2007. Now one of its subdivisions made the Milwaukee Magazine list of "Sweet Spots" to live in the metro area: "Tree Tops hasn’t got
many treetops, but it’s a top-of-the-line subdivision for Germantown. And, for time-pressed homeowners, it has a reputation for being well-run, right down to having its own parks and stormwater management. $350,000-$900,000."
As the site of the 2002 Metropolitan Builders Association "Parade of Homes," Tree Tops was at the end of phase one and moving on through 2 more phases. Planned by Siepmann Development,
Tree Tops has become one of the sought after areas in the northern Metro area. You know it's special as you drive in past the distinctive entry markers in the shadows of aged oaks. The subdivision includes 185 homes sites, covering 146 acres, 40 acres (27%) of which are open spaces. Condensed lot sizes, and reduced building set backs make up this conservancy subdivision. 5 miles of walking trails wind around the subdivision, past the 8 ponds and to the large private park, featuring a playground and sport court. Rigorous architectural requirements, include natural siding materials, no fences, above ground pools and uniform roofing materials.
The best part of living in Tree Tops is the social life of the subdivision. Yearly events bring neighbors together, including: Pizza Party, a
Round Robin, Egg Hunt, golf outing, and Fall Festival. Not to mention the impromptu evening gatherings at a firepit on a neighbor's patio!
Home sizes range from 2,000-6,000 square feet, prices range from $300,000-900,000. For more information on homes for sale in Tree Tops in Germantown, contact the neighborhood expert Pat Tasker. "It's not just my business, it's my neighborhood!"
