Whether Laurie Kyle, owner of Perkup coffee shop in Elkhorn, is making a caramel macchiato or a café breve, she embraces the opportunity to advocate for the local farmers through a product common to all espresso drinks — milk.

Using the milk that Kyle and her husband, Dave, produce at their dairy farm, Kylecrest Holsteins and Jerseys, in the town of LaFayette about 10 miles from Perkup, Kyle gives customers a reason to appreciate milk. In compliance with Wisconsin law, she sells the milk from her farm to a vendor and then buys it back from a location that sells her milk, such as the local Kwik Trip. She then educates her customers on the nutritious value of milk while using it for their drinks.
