September 2026

Happy Labor Day!

Our stores will be open regular hours on Monday, Sept. 7.

Photo of the Month

We’re kicking off September with a few extra reasons to celebrate! The 2026 Iowa State Fair results are in, and we’re incredibly proud of our award-winning Hansen’s Dairy products.


Our Roasted Garlic Cheese Curds took home Best of Show and First Place in the Cheese Curd category at the Iowa Quality Dairy Products contest! We also earned First Place for Butter, Second Place for Whole Milk and Third Place for Plain Cheese Curds.


These honors are a reflection of the hard work of our entire Hansen’s Dairy team and the wonderful herd that makes it all possible.


Haven’t tried our award winners yet? Stop into our Cedar Falls or Waterloo store and see for yourself what the state fair judges were raving about.

Treat of the Month

We’re squeezing every last bit of summer out of September with our Treat of the Month.


The Peach Perfect Shake 🍑 is basically sunshine in a cup. We start with creamy vanilla ice cream blended with peach puree. Then we top it with our homemade whipped cream, black raspberry drizzle and a cherry.


Grab one for $4.99 through September at both stores. Because there’s always time for one more taste of summer!

Pizza of the Month

It's football season! 🏈 Feed your game day crew with our Pizza of the Month!


Our BBQ Chicken Pizza features a fresh-made crust, BBQ sauce, grilled chicken, onions and cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. It’s smoky, cheesy and downright delicious.

Cows of the Month

You might call our September Cows of the Month a moo-lah cryptocurrency trio. 🐄🐄🐄

Our cows are named after their moms’ first initial, and we never repeat a name in the history of the farm. That means we have to get a little creative when it’s time to name a new calf. Turns out these gals' names created a crypto theme!


Dogecoin is a gentle girl who’s already making a name for herself in the herd. At 2 years old, she’s producing an impressive 80 pounds of milk a day, above average for a cow her age.


Litecoin was born October 1, 2025. She isn't old enough yet to be a milking cow, but she’s definitely got a personality all her own. She started out a little high-strung, but she’s settling down nicely. We can't wait to see how her personality evolves!


Solana turns 3 in March and is producing 70 pounds of milk a day, right around average for a young cow. Her mom's name is Sweety, and that tracks with Solana's sweet and gentle nature.

Baking with Hansen's

If you’re looking for nostalgia and decadence in an autumn dessert, look no further than this Swirled Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars recipe from our friends at US Dairy.


Creamy cheesecake blankets a layer of pumpkin filling, all nestled on a graham cracker crust that melts in your mouth to buttery perfection.
