On this episode of The Inside Wisconsin Show’s Deeper Roots with Blain’s Farm & Fleet, we explore the stories that connect us to places, traditions, and each other.
Our journey takes us to Baumgartner’s, Wisconsin’s oldest cheese store. Since 1931, it’s been a cornerstone of Monroe—a place where local cheesemakers share their finest work and generations of families gather.
From unforgettable flavors to the people who bring this community to life, Baumgartner’s is a true slice of Wisconsin heritage.
Tune into our newest episode to hear more about the experience, the folks we met, and the unique tastes of Monroe!
