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!

Welcome Home to Brown Deer

If you are looking for a suburban location, but want to keep drive times to a minimum, Brown Deer might be just the place! Located in the northeast section of Milwaukee County, Brown Deer is close to I43 for a quick commute south to downtown, or day trip north to Green Bay or weekend in Door County.

Brown Deer Park is a jewel in the county park system with something for everyone, including a championship golf course formerly on the PGA Tour! The Interurban Bike trail starts in Brown Deer and goes all the way to Sheboygan with many fun stops on the way.

Brown Deer history starts way back with the first settlers in 1835. That reminds me of a home I sold on Sherman Blvd that was one of the oldest homes in the village, it actually had tree limbs for the roof joists! While there are many stories of how Brown Deer got its name, one of the best stories is that of a card game going on in a saloon and a brown deer jumped through the window!

Over the years the village grew in stages from small cottages, to the ranches of the 50’s, larger colonials in the 70’s & 80’s, and a flurry of newer construction in the 2000’s. One of those newer homes is currently for sale. A gorgeous newer home ready to move into. A great location in a private wooded area, closer to Mequon than most of Brown Deer!

Two unique points about Brown Deer make it a great place to live. The school complex occupies a large square area with ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS ON ONE CAMPUS, so from Kindergarten through senior year classes, sports and extra Curricular activities are in one area, VERY CONVENIENT for the busy family! Another nice feature is the village hall, police department and village park are located together. The park is the home to the village swimming pond with a raft, sand beach and new bathhouse.

Whether you are looking for a home in a suburb or the city, call Pat Tasker 262-437-5853, today to discuss the variety of suburbs in the Metro Milwaukee Area.
