Food + Farm Exploration Center and the Colorful Plate Café will be closed to the public on Thursday, September 17, 2026, as our team prepares to host our signature annual fundraiser, Rooted in Gratitude.

This temporary closure includes all exhibit galleries, general admission, daily programming along with service at the café so our team can transform the center for this special evening celebrating local agriculture and STEM education across Wisconsin.

Food + Farm Exploration Center and the Colorful Plate Café will resume normal operational hours tomorrow. Thank you for your understanding and support!
