3810 Durand Avenue (Racine, Wisconsin)

3810 Durand Avenue is a restaurant building on Durand Avenue in Racine, Wisconsin. The barn-like building was originally constructed for a location in the Red Barn chain of farm-themed restaurants which opened in 1968. The restaurant broke from the chain in 1983, and began operating independently as The Farm. In 2020, The Farm closed, and was replaced by Burgers, Custard & More.

Red Barn/The Farm (1968–2020)
By 1967, the land was owned by the Mobil Oil Company. On August 4, 1967, the property was sold to Red Barn System, Inc. Construction of the barn-shaped building was underway in October 1967, and the restaurant's formal opening was held on February 16, 1968. The restaurant was franchised by Eugene Spolar, who had previously opened a Red Barn franchise at 5915 39th Avenue in Kenosha in 1966.

In addition to the chain's standard menu that included hamburgers, chicken, and fish, Spolar added frozen custard ice cream in early 1982. The restaurant became the only one in the chain to offer custard ice cream. In December 1982, Spolar ended the location's franchise agreement with Red Barn. On December 9, ownership of the building was transferred to him from Stanco Properties. On June 1, 1983, the restaurant was renamed The Farm, as it joined a buying group of 23 former Red Barn franchises which had taken on that name. With the name change, The Farm also began serving baked potatoes and potato skins. Spolar continued to make additions to the menu, adding cod fish nuggets in November 1983 and barbecue ribs in spring 1984.

In January 1991, Eugene and Carol Spolar sold the business to Wolfgang and Patricia Esser, while retaining ownership of the building. In December of that year, the restaurant changed hands again when it was sold to David and Sue Ellingham.

As a result of the in the late 2000s, the restaurant began to be open on Sundays. Ellingham also made items to order instead of preparing them ahead of time. On its website, The Farm described itself as possibly being "the last of its kind".

The Farm permanently closed on February 2, 2020.

Burgers, Custard & More (2020–present)
On October 14, 2020, Burgers, Custard & More, known as "BC's" for short, opened in the building. BC's is owned by the same operators as the Dogs & Cream restaurant at 2721 Douglas Avenue: Perla Cabrera and Eric and Maggie Robinson.
