Ellsworth & the Pierce County Farming Community
Ellsworth is the Pierce County seat and the self-proclaimed Cheese Curd Capital of Wisconsin — a community deeply rooted in dairy farming and the agricultural traditions of the rolling hills landscape of Pierce County. The area’s farms, pastures, and woodlots are productive assets that benefit from professional brush management.
