Glacier Ridge Animal Farm

It’s a startling sight: against the backdrop of green, rolling hills, clusters of ostriches and peacocks strut across wooden-fenced pastures, their caws overpowering the lowing of nearby buffalo and elk. This collection of exotic animals represents a labor of love for Glacier Ridge Animal Farm owners Mark and Michelle Schultz, who have welcomed more than 30 animal species onto their farm.

In addition to the lively menagerie, Mr. and Mrs. Schultz populate their property with a farm store housed inside a 100-year-old barn. They promote their farm raised bison and elk meat, seasonal pies, and other Wisconsin-made products.
