The Restaurant Preserving Wisconsin’s Dairy Legacy

from City Cast Madison · host City Cast

Seven Acre Dairy is many things - a cafe, a restaurant, a hotel, a butter plant.  But if you talk to founder Nic Mink, it’s also a place for restoration. He renovated a shuttered old butter plant in Paoli, Wisconsin, a small community about twenty minutes from downtown Madison. It’s drawing neighbors near and far to enjoy locally-made butter, soft serve ice cream and a farm-to-table restaurant.  It sits along the banks of the Sugar River, nestled among a savanna with oak trees older than the state of Wisconsin. Learn why Nic’s trying to preserve a little slice of Wisconsin’s dairy heritage in rapidly changing industry.  🧈 Join us every Thursday as we explore Madison's food culture, from the brewers and bakers to the chefs and cheesemakers. This conversation originally aired February 23, 2023.  Wanna talk to us about an episode? Leave us a voicemail at 608-318-3367 or email [email protected].
