Garden fertilizer available!

Attention gardeners!๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ Itโ€™s time to get those seeds and starter plants๐ŸŒฑ in the ground! And weโ€™ve got the secret ingredient for luscious flower beds๐ŸŒธ and prolific vegetable gardens! ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿฅฌ


Beckettโ€™s Bucket of Moo Poo, available at our Cedar Falls and Waterloo stores, is made from dehydrated cow manure produced by our dairy herd.


Moo Poo, a dry and odorless compost, adds natureโ€™s best fertilizer to soil while providing aeration and improved drainage.


Scooped and packaged in recycled containers on our farm by Beckett Hansen, Moo Poo will give your garden an all-natural, nutrient-rich boost. In fact, it's the same fertilizer we use to grow the crops that feed our cows.


โžก๏ธ It's not wet manure. It's dry and looks like potting soil.

โžก๏ธ It truly doesn't smell! 

โžก๏ธ Wind and the cows walking on it grinds Moo Poo into fine, dry particles. No dehydrator is used.

โžก๏ธ Directions for use: Incorporate in a 1:2 to 1:3 ratio of Moo Poo to existing soil. 

โžก๏ธ More questions? Call Jordan Hansen at (319) 988-9834.


Sold in 3-gallon recycled ice cream buckets, Moo Poo is as sustainable as it gets. And at just $10 for 18 pounds, it's an affordable way to get your garden off to a great start!


See how Beckett packages Moo Poo right on our farm in this fun video.

Customer of the Month

Our Customer of the Month says the taste of Hansen's Dairy products is worth the drive from her home in Delhi.


Cristie Belland makes the trek to our Waterloo store to pick up milk, cheese curds, Wagyu-Holstein steaks and more.


"We also like to pick up three to five frozen pizzas so we have them stocked up," she says. "We love the milk, and the pizza is fantastic. We mainly like that it's produced locally by a good family with a really good product."


Thanks, Cristie! 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.

Cow of the Month

The Force is strong with our May Cow of the Month.


JarJar (Binks) is batting a thousand when it comes to calving. At 7 years old, she has had five calves -- ALL GIRLS! Her fifth calf, Jango, was born on April 25.


JarJar is a sweet girl who's gentle, polite and calm, and is a joy to work with in the milking parlor.


There's just one little thing. Make that four little things. Our milking crew has elected JarJar president of a particular Itty Bitty Committee. Size doesn't matter to JarJar, though. This lady has produced 130,000 lifetime pounds of milk so far. That's 15,116 gallons!


May the Force continue to be with you, JarJar!
