Brian and Jill Houin are stepping off the farm and into the kitchen as the new owners of The Breakroom Pub and Grill at 138 S Michigan St in Argos.

The former Jay’s Pub was a nostalgic place for dairy farmers Brian and Jill, for a date night location prior to buying the pub.

Brian Houin is a fourth generation dairy farmer that still milks on the site where the family farm began in 1945 with nine cows, a few chickens, pigs and a two bedroom home with twelve children.

Jill explained how the family has grown over the generations. 

The couple loves sharing their passion for dairy farming with their customers. Jill plans to eventually have a dairy based specialty drink every weekend as well as serve their own angus beef from the family farm. 

Their farm also makes electricity for residents of Plymouth. 

Along with dairy and the pub, the couple also has a passion for the community.
