π Happy Valentine's Day! π
| |
On a typical late January day, bitter temps and strong winds keep our girl Droste safe and toasty in the barn with her shaggy winter coat. But she and her gal pals had the pleasure of a recent sunny, 45-degree day. While melting snow made for a muddy mess around the farm, mild temperatures, abundant sunshine and glorious blue skies made for a very happy herd. | |

On a recent Monday, Nick Reiter stopped into our Waterloo store to buy 4 gallons of milk. It's been his routine every week since the store opened nearly two decades ago.
Sometimes Nick treats himself to chocolate ice cream, too.
"Nick is one of our best customers. We love Nick," says Waterloo Store Manager Charity Miers.
That alone makes Nick worthy of Customer of the Month honors. But there's more. Nick says he absolutely loves the quality of our products.
"You're selling a good product for a good price," he says. "Good milk and good people. You can't beat that!"
Thanks, Nick! 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 and X pages.

Our February Cow of the Month is one mooooo-dy gal. (Say it with us: Bad puns are good fun.)
Meet Mo. As in Mo' attitude. Mo' sass. Mo' trouble.
Seriously. The heart-shaped marking on her hard head might just be the sweetest thing about her.
At 3 years old, Mo is a strong, deep-bodied cow who uses her size and strength to her advantage. She's built to be tough. Unsurprisingly, her occasional stubborn antics don't go over well with her herd mates.
Outside of the milking parlor, Mo is friendly and curious around people. But when she's working in the parlor, she's all business sprinkled with a little mischief. Mo's milk production is average, but her mood maintenance sure is high.
