Five generations ago, Michael Brick immigrated from Ireland, determined to start a new life. In 1848, hearing about available farmland in Wisconsin, which had just been admitted to the Union as the thirtieth state, Brick joined a handful of other Irishmen to search for land to buy.
The milk produced on the Brick farm is sold to Dairy Farmers of America (DFA), a co-op of dairies that is based out of Missouri. The co-op handles 20 to 30 percent of the milk produced in America, selling most of it to cheese plants. Milk from Brickstead can also be found in your favorite Kemps dairy items!
