Berry Delicious

This July we are celebrating all the wonderful things that Wisconsin farmers are producing, especially fresh berries! At Altenburg's Farm in Wood County, you can go and pick your own fresh strawberries every day. Our communities have more and more places to find fresh foods and healthy cooking options.
