Over 125 Years in the Making
Nasonville Dairy is located right outside of Marshfield, in Central Wisconsin, where local cheesemakers have produced traditional Wisconsin cheeses on the same site for over 125 years. Today we buy milk from 180 farm families and convert that into more than 100,000 pounds of exceptional cheese each day. We are committed to support local dairy farmers and use fresh milk from our neighbors' farms to make Nasonville's award-winning cheeses.
If operating a family farm for over 100 years has taught us anything, it’s be prepared for the unexpected. That’s why Weber’s Farm Store goes beyond milk and cheese and also stocks many of the food items closely associated with dairy, like farm fresh eggs, bread and condiments. Weber’s always provides the freshest milk and associated dairy products in the area.

Mortgage Experts Team The Highground in Neillsville is a 155-acre manned veterans memorial park that pays tribute to the dead, and honors the survivors, their service, and their sacrifices. The Highground fulfills its mission of healing and education by bringing past lessons into our hopes for the future. We seek to have The Highground continue to be a focus of healing for all who come, regardless of the name of the battle which left the scars. The park includes tributes to veterans of WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, as well as a National Native American Vietnam Memorial, a Meditation Garden, a handicap accessible treehouse, an exact replica of the Liberty Bell, Effigy Mound, a Learning Center (with a library) and 4 miles of hiking trails. Under construction in 2014 is the Wisconsin Persian Gulf Tribute! Coming soon is the Military Working Dog Tribute! The Park continues to grow as history unfolds. Located three miles west of Neillsville on US Hwy 10, the park is lighted and open to visitors year round 24 hours a day.

Marshfield has two great programs “Buy Local” and “The Best of Marshfield” that would be of interest to shoppers when visiting town. Where we shop, where we eat and where we have fun — all of it makes our community home. Our one-of-a-kind businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character of this place. Our tourism businesses also benefit. “When people go on vacation they generally seek out destinations that offer them the sense of being someplace, not just anyplace.” ~ Richard Moe, President, National Historic Preservation Trust.
