REEDSVILLE - As a country girl, it’s hard to imagine a world without corn fields and cow pastures, but for many families, events like the Manitowoc County Breakfast on the Farm is their first chance to see a cow up close and to learn about where milk and cheese come from.
This year, the event will be held at Vogel Family Farms in Reedsville, an operation consisting of brothers Guy and Marcus Vogel, their wives Kay and Anita, Guy’s son Gabe and his wife Ashley Grotegut, and Marcus’ daughter Amanda Linsmeier and her husband Matt.
Their family farm began in 1958 at a site just up the road from their current farm on Hilltop Road in Reedsville. Guy’s and Marcus’ parents, Marcellus and JoAnn, started farming with just 17 cows and five youngstock (a term used to describe young farm animals).
