Agriculture

Agriculture has a prominent role in the Wausau area, and a number of our attractions and activities revolve around this important segment of our economy.

Tour the Van Der Geest Dairy Farm — a modern, large-scale dairy facility capable of milking 3,000 cows three times a day!  Or visit Hsu's Ginseng, just one of the 1,000 ginseng producers in Marathon County that account for 95% of all the ginseng production in the United States.  If you are interested in antique farm machinery, visit the I.S. Horgen Antique Farm Machinery Museum in Wausau.

There are many opportunities for seasonal produce and activities throughout the area as well, including fresh produce, farmers markets, berry picking, pumpkin patches, corn mazes and more!
