In May, hundreds of Cedar Valley students toured the farm with their classmates to learn how milk gets from our cows to their cups. They also got to interact with our calves and cows.
On May 30, Austin (pictured here) and his class got to meet Sherbert, who was born to mom Shandy just hours before the students arrived. The students were fascinated by the newborn calf attempting to stand on her wobbly little legs and gave her lots of love when she decided to nap instead.
Book your own farm tour here! Tour season runs through Oct. 31.

June is National Dairy Month, a time to celebrate REAL MILK. And let's be real. In a world of artificial intelligence, artificial flavors and artificial substitutes, it can be hard to tell what's real.
But REAL MILK is always real. And it's always naturally good for you, with its perfect mix of nutrients, fat and proteins easily absorbed by real people.
At Hansen's Dairy, we take REAL MILK real seriously. No growth hormones for our cows and no preventive antibiotics. Just real cows and REAL MILK.
Hit follow on our Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and X accounts this month for fun, educational content celebrating the power of REAL MILK.

Reinbeck resident Ashley Bridenburg has been a longtime customer at our farm and Waterloo stores.
Last week she visited our Cedar Falls store for the first time and shot this photo with her son and our University of Northern Iowa TC mascot statue.
"I love that you have so many local foods," Ashley said.
Because her children attend school in Waterloo, Ashley typically shops at our Waterloo store.
"Our obsession is your butter," she said, laughing. "We also get your milk, cheese curds and ice cream. When it's local food you know it's good, and supporting local business helps support our cities, towns and state."
Thanks, Ashley! 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 $40 value). You could be chosen by filling out an entry form at our stores or through your comments on our Facebook, Instagram and X pages.

We absolutely love Elodie, our June Cow of the Month. The heart-shaped mark on her forehead is proof! It also makes her easy to spot among the herd.
Elodie, who turns 4 years old on June 30, had a rough start as a newborn. Thanks to prompt medical care and lots of love, this lady is now thriving!
She has a sweet, calm personality and likes to be first in the milking parlor. Those traits make her a hands-down favorite in the hearts of our milking crew.
We ❤️ you, Elodie!
