Another project is complete showcasing our new logo! Since the Tour Center opened in 2012, we've had our existing logo painted on the floor. Now we've "spilled milk" all over it and painted our new one. It makes for a bright, cheerful welcome to our Tour Center!
By the way, our Tour Center in Hudson makes a great venue for graduations, birthdays, showers, reunions and other parties. We have full kitchen, refrigerator/freezer, large 8' serving island, and seating for up to 80 guests.
See our Tour Center Rental page on our website for more information.
Call Jordan
at (319) 988-9834 with any questions and to rent the space. Alternate small party space is available to reserve at our location in Waterloo. Call the Waterloo store for more details, (319) 234-3309.
Also, don't forget about all the products we sell to serve at your event! We've got meats, cheeses, popcorn, chips, salsa, hummus, ice cream and custom ice cream cakes to suit your needs.

There were no CA$H COW winners in our contest last month :(. And since no one found the three jugs labeled with $100 in March, this month there will be four $100 jugs out there. Best chance to find one is right away at the beginning of the month! But make sure to keep looking throughout the month as we mark ten $5 jugs every week!
Look inside the jug toward the label to see a "5" or "100".

Adam Eichhorn |
The April Customer of the Month is
Adam Eichhorn of Cedar Falls.
Adam's family began drinking Hansen's milk a few years ago on a friend's recommendation.
"We have been drinking it ever since we tried it," Adam says.
His wife, Season, also enjoys the local honey and the farm-fresh eggs. Their children, Jobe, Cohen and Evalynn, like to stop by the Cedar Falls store on a hot summer day to have some soft-serve ice cream in a cone.
"Above all of this is the milk," Adam says. "The fresh taste keeps us coming back. Thanks for the awesome, fresh-tasting milk!"
And THANK YOU, Adam, for being a loyal customer! Customers of the Month will receive a $5 gift certificate to use at our stores and two free hands-on tour passes to the farm (a $24 value). You could be chosen by filling out an entry form at our stores or through your comments on our
Facebook page.

The April Cow of the Month is Lasagna. She is a young cow and had her first calf about 6 months ago, a heifer we named Lularoe. We do all of our breeding by artificial insemination, which means we keep semen frozen until we are ready to use it. Lasagna was bred to a bull named Astronaut, who lived more than 50 years ago! This bull has been known to produce strong daughters, and Lasagna herself has a great mammary system and feet/legs. That means Lularoe should grow up to be a nice sturdy cow too!
Lasagna is very friendly. If anyone has visited our farm on a hands-on tour already this year, they likely milked Lasagna. She is a patient cow and tolerates lots of visitors trying their hand at milking!
