Morning Light on the Barn Roof: Hansen’s Down on the Farm Breakfast, Oct. 25
A concise guide to Hansen’s annual farm-to-table breakfast in Hudson — what’s on the menu, how to get tickets, the two morning seatings, and the post-breakfast trolley to meet cows and kangaroos.
Morning Light on the Barn Roof: Hansen’s Down on the Farm Breakfast, Oct. 25.
Join Hansen’s Dairy Tour Center for the annual Down on the Farm Breakfast, a family-friendly morning that pairs a regionally sourced farm-to-table menu with hands-on farm activities; the event traditionally sells out and includes a trolley visit to the farm after the meal.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
A Midwest, farm-to-table spread
The breakfast assembles local staples — French toast made with Mersim’s bread and Hansen’s whole milk, yogurt parfaits, pork sausage links, apples, coffee and cider, plus Hansen’s own white and chocolate milk — a survey of nearby dairies and producers on a single plate.
Trolley rides and animal encounters
After the meal attendees board a trolley to visit the farm for family-friendly activities and to see the cows — and yes, kangaroos — that are part of the post-breakfast program.
Two seatings and limited tickets
There are two serving times in the morning and only a fixed number of tickets per seating, so planning ahead is essential; attendees may remain until the event closes at 12:30 p.m.
