The 41st Annual Shawano County Brunch on the Farm is on June 22, 2025! Our host farm is Olson Dairy Farms Inc.
The event will give community members the opportunity to see technologies at work on a modern dairy farm, enjoy a delicious breakfast, and have a morning of family fun.

Olson Dairy Farms Inc. is owned and operated by Kurt Jr and Kyrsta Olson, and their children Carter, Luke, Evan, and Reid. His parents, Kurt and Cindy Olson, are the retired second generation of Olson Dairy Farms. They milk 600 cows and crop 1,500 acres near Birnamwood, Wis. In March 2020, the Olsons transitioned from a parlor to a 10-robot milking facility to better balance their workload and family activities. Kurt Jr is the third generation and is proud to raise all their animals from birth to milking on the same farm site, having two heifer barns and a calf barn with three robotic calf feeders.

Olson Farms utilizes several technologies to provide excellent care for their animals and the environment. With robotic milkers, each cow decides when and how often she is milked each day. The animals receive three different neck bands to help track their activity and health during each stage of life. Automatic feed pushers and scrapers ensure fresh feed is always available and the cow barn is clean. For cropping, they utilize John Deere’s operational center. They also have a unique partnership with the DNR to fence in their feed pad, keeping deer out. Learn more about the family and farm on the day of the event!
