Since 1937, the Basse family has farmed in Muskego, and sold its produce along the roadsides during the summer and fall. By building the larger Country Delight market just east of the original farm and stand in the early '90s, the clan ensured that its legacy and that of Muskego's rural roots would continue.
The Basses still have their farm, but the market itself is under the care of new owners, who continue to provide the freshest in seasonal produce inside and out. Customers have a rich selection of produce to choose from, including strawberries in the spring and summer and fresh-picked apples, sweet corn, pumpkins and gourds in the fall. Basses's sells mulch and landscaping products in the spring and summer and flowers throughout the year.
Along with the produce, Basse's Country Delight features a delicious selection of Uncle Harry's Frozen Custard, cheeses (seasonally), sauces and a wide variety of gourmet popping corn. An array of hand-made crafts and decor is also available for purchase.
Traditions on the farm are maintained, and school or other groups are welcome to take a tour, enjoy a hayride, pick pumpkins and see the goats. School tours are only $5 a child and include a little lesson in agriculture.
In business since 1953, Pizza Burger Systems has been a name many in Muskego remember for its signature mozzarella-in-the-patty style burger, and briefly there was a restaurant bearing the same name. Now the company sells its line of seasonings to businesses and individuals in the United States and Canada. For more information, call 414-427-6431.
