Green County Tourism Press Release, 09.17.09
New tourism event showcases local foods and boosts local economy
Last Saturday's BOUNTY OF GREEN COUNTY FEAST ON THE HILLTOP event attracted more than 1000 visitors to the New Glarus Brewing Company's new hilltop site.
Green County is famous for cheese and beer, a palate-pleasing pair that clearly played a starring role as visitors lined up in the brewery tasting room and sampled cheese from several local factories.
However, since Green County offers a diversity of artisan foods, a major goal of the event was to offer both visitors and local residents the chance to experience some tastes they might not have expected - Emu sausage, Goose brats, Elk jerky, Blackberry buttercream fudge, homestead yogurt, freshly picked juicy apples, and much more.
