The force between these two is strong. Our twin cows Luke and Leia (who can always be seen hanging out together) want to remind you that Star Wars Episode VIII "The Last Jedi" will be released in theaters Dec. 15! Luke and Leia were born July 28, 2016, so they are 16 months old. We love their similar facial markings.
From Luke, Leia and the rest of the Hansen's Dairy family, Mooey Christmas and Happy Holidays!

We had two big winners in our November CA$H COW contest! Congrats to Ann Doeden of Cedar Falls and a coffee shop in Waterloo who each won $100. Teresa Phillips of Cedar Falls also found a $5 jug.
We will label 12 jugs with $100 in December. 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".

Ronda Edwards, and her son Caleb and husband Jim |
The November Customer of the Month is
Ronda Edwards of Clutier.
Hansen's milk reminds her of when her family would take containers to a farm and get fresh milk when she was young.
"I started us on your milk many years ago, then added the butter, which I love," Ronda said. "I've even bought and brought to my son in New York."
Thanks, Ronda! 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 $24 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 December Cow of the Month is one tough cookie.
Sizzler
is 6 years old, which is middle-aged for a dairy cow. She is already nearing 100,000 pounds of lifetime milk production -- outstanding for a gal her age. She also produces a lot of butterfat (cream), which means she contributes more than her fair share to our tasty ice cream and butter!
Sizzler is easygoing and very tame. You can tell she loves being part of the Hansen herd. She had a rough time two years ago, when she was pregnant with triplet heifers. She was on "bed rest" for the last three months of her pregnancy but the babies didn't make it. She handled it well and is still thriving today.

| Value-Added Producers Grant |
|
|
|
In 2015, Hansen's Dairy was awarded a USDA Value-Added Producers Grant for the purpose of marketing our ice cream down the I-380 Corridor. Check out this video to see how the grant money has allowed us to create more sophisticated, informational ice cream containers.
