media release: Hinchley’s Dairy Farm, a multi-generational family farm in Cambridge, Wisconsin, will host this year’s Breakfast on the Farm, set for Saturday, June 14. For over 45 years, Dane County Breakfast on the Farm organizers have selected a local farm to welcome thousands of visitors for a hearty meal and encourage them to learn where their food comes from.

The Hinchleys will also have an incredible lineup of antique tractors and additional barnyard animals for all to see and enjoy.
“We are excited to have the Hinchley family host this year’s Breakfast on the Farm,” shares Jenna Langrehr, Breakfast on the Farm Committee Member. “The Hinchleys are great advocates for Wisconsin’s dairy industry, and we are delighted that they have opened up their farm for attendees!”
