Geocache Description:


The Green County Barn Quilts project started in 2008, and by the end of 2010 the 100th barn quilt was installed. Barn quilts are painted wooden squares (designed like one block of a real quilt pattern), generally 8 x 8 feet in size. Some are located on "working" barns, and others are displayed on "retired" barns. It's not as challenging as geocaching, but hunting for the barn quilt locations is a true adventure in experiencing the roads less traveled of the Green County countryside.

In 1976 the farm was sold to Roger and Karen Brugger – who raised hogs. In 1994 the Brugger's son Brian and his wife Teresa moved into the farmhouse, and cash rented the farm along with his brother Dave and family. The barn currently houses young dairy stock. On a nearby farm also owned by the Brugger Family (formerly the John Zurfluh Farm, where Dave and his family live) a new milking parlor was built in 2006. The Brugger's currently milk 430 cows in this double-sixteen parlor and farm about 1200 acres. The farming tradition continues now into the fourth generation with Brian and Dave's sons. The Bruggers hosted the 2009 Green County Breakfast on the Farm. This Barn Quilt is called 54-40 or Fight!
