Mulberry Lane Farm

Mulberry Lane Farm is a slice of rural Americana where city shoes meet farm boots and memories are made shoulder-to-shoulder with goats, kittens, and the aroma of fresh hay. The farm sprawls across rolling Wisconsin countryside, its barns painted in classic red and white, with a sense of orderliness that feels both welcoming and practical. Here, the connection to land and animal is not just a backdrop but the main event—children’s laughter mixes with the lowing of cows as they take turns learning how to milk. The experience is hands-on: tiny fingers reach for bunnies and chicks, faces are painted by nimble local artists, and hayrides trundle along dirt paths bordered by pumpkin patches come autumn. There’s an earnestness to Mulberry Lane Farm that can’t be faked. It’s in the staff who help shy kids approach their first calf, in families returning year after year for Mother’s Day or to pick pumpkins under the crisp October sun. Local schools have made it a rite of passage for field trips—the place hums with energy on those days, the fields dotted with bright T-shirts and wide eyes. While it can get lively (and sometimes chaotic) when the crowds descend, there’s enough space that even busy days feel manageable. Organization is generally solid but not without quirks; timing for certain barns or activities can catch out first-timers who aren’t paying close attention to posted hours. Weddings and birthday celebrations find a rustic charm here—old wooden beams festooned with fairy lights and guests mingling among baby animals lend an easy authenticity that urban venues try hard to emulate. Mulberry Lane Farm stands as a bridge between generations: grandparents reliving childhood chores, parents recalling their own school trips, children discovering animal life firsthand. It’s not polished perfection but something far warmer—a living community anchored in tradition yet always welcoming newcomers from near or far.
