Remember the triplets that were born on our farm? They are now 2 1/2 years old and doing well! Here are Livalot, Luvalot and Lafalot lined up together in the milking parlor. It's neat to see because they can choose to come in at anytime and in any of the eight stalls, but they are right next to each other. It's fun to see the sisterly bonding! |

The January Customer of the Month has been a fan of Hansen's Dairy since we started our on-farm creamery in 2004.
Jan Hankins and her husband Greg recall discovering our products at the Cedar Falls Farmer's Market. They also took two of their grandchildren on a farm tour.
"It was such a delightful experience for them feeding the baby calves, watching the wallabies, and making butter."
Jan and Greg now buy our products from our Cedar Falls store.
"We love the products for so many reasons ... value, freshness, quality, local, and the process (making the milk tolerable for Greg who is lactose sensitive)," Jan said. "We buy the 1% milk weekly but also enjoy the cheeses, ice cream, and yogurt."
"We will continue to spread the word to family, neighbors, and friends to shop at Hansen's," Jan said. "It's the best milk in town!"
Thanks, Jan! Customers of the Month receive a $5 gift certificate to use at our stores and two free hands-on tour passes to the farm (a $30 value). You could be chosen by filling out an entry form at our stores or through your comments on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Our January Cow of the Month is a beast.
Jutta has produced 105,990 pounds of milk in just over 3 years. She averages 35,330 pounds a year, which is about 6,000 pounds above herd average.
At 5 1/2 years old, Jutta is queen of the farm, always picking out the biggest bed in the barn and getting her way. With those accolades, we let her!
Jutta is also polled, which means she was born without horns (that's a great thing!) and has had four calves in her lifetime. We hope that they follow in her hoofprints!
