In the mid-1800s, Adolf Carlson raised cattle on the land that is now a cherry orchard owned by his great-grandson Mark Carlson and wife Mary Pat.  The building for their business, the Wildwood Market, once served as housing for cherry pickers, including German POWs.  Mark and Mary Pat will tell the Carlson familty story, including Mary Pat’s pioneering work in helping establish shared-use kitchens like the one at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College.
