Located in Fond du Lac County, Byron celebrated 175 years in 2021. When I was first married, I lived on a farm and only had a stovetop and no oven. My mom gave me this no-bake recipe, and it’s a family favorite.

Byron was the location of our first two wind turbines in 1999. Fond du Lac County now is home to our 88-turbine Blue Sky Green Field Wind Energy Center.
