The Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center is a state-of-the-art, interactive agricultural education center located in Manitowoc County. Farm Wisconsin connects visitors’ curiosity to the wonder of Wisconsin farming and provides guests with a better understanding of their food sources and their importance. The center features 10,000 square feet of hands-on learning opportunities, and a birthing barn where visitors may watch calves being born daily. The center was named to Time for Kids’ World’s 50 Coolest Places of 2019.

Farm Wisconsin observes mask and social distancing requirements for employees and guests, and hand sanitizer is widely available throughout the facility.

Waushara Mobile Pantry Schedule for March

Residents interested in receiving FREE food are limited to visit one pantry site per week. This
food is available for ALL community members. No proof of identification, income, or other
information is required. When attending a drive-thru pantry, drivers remain in their vehicles
and volunteers place boxes of food in their trunk or back seat. Drivers are asked to make
space in their trunks to assist with this process.

Mobile sites have been serving Waushara County since last May. These pantries have been
provided by the Wisconsin’s Hunger Task Force and Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin in
partnership with Waushara County Food Pantry, the Waushara Prevention Council, Inc., and
the Waushara County Department of Human Services. Local agencies have been assisted by
an army of community volunteers along with businesses, community organizations and
municipalities who hosted and continue to host pantry sites.

For more information contact the Waushara Food Pantry at 715-869-3663. In the event of
inclement weather, cancellations will be announced on the Bug Radio 102.3 FM. Mobile
