60^th Anniversary
Yearlong Celebration!

In commemoration of its 60th anniversary, The Elegant Farmer is hosting a yearlong celebration January-December, 2007 featuring family fun events and a variety of delicious food specials. Noted by Gourmet and Wall Street Journal as having the best pie in America, The Elegant Farmer’s Apple Pie Baked in a Paper Bag^® has been its signature item for decades baking over a quarter of a million pies per year. From its well-known Autumn Harvest Festival to its new summer events including Dairylicious Days, Old Fashion Farm Fair and the Do-Si-Do Family Square Dancing Hoedown, The Elegant Farmer continues to be one of Southeast Wisconsin’s family destinations providing a wonderful shopping experience and simply the best foods from its Farm Kitchen Bakery, Deli & Market. This family owned and operated business continues to offer the same quality and excellence it has become known for during its 60 years in business.

“We want to thank everyone that has supported The Elegant Farmer over the years by hosting this yearlong 60th anniversary celebration."

"We invite families to come, have fun and share a story about when you visited the Elegant Farmer as a child or create a new family memory by bringing your kids and grandkids.”

- Owner John Bauer
