Even without advertising or a highway sign, plenty of people have found their way to Kelley?s Country Creamery just south of Fond du Lac. The ice cream parlor and plant on a fifth-generation farm pulled in 80,000 visitors last year, its inaugural year, and people continue to flock to the family business just off Highway 41. Karen Kelley attended value-added conferences to learn how to complement the family?s dairy operation. Once she settled on ice cream as a product, she took two UW-Madison dairy short courses and another at the University of Florida.
