Photo of the Month

The Summer smash movie "Barbie" has everyone thinking pink! We shot a fun video playing on a key scene from the film. Apple Slushie was happy to give her sniff of approval to our pink spray-painted rubber boots.

Barbie tells us girls can do anything, and we're 100 percent sure she also meant dairy farming! 🐮

Treat of the Month

Send your taste buds on a trip to the tropics with our August Treat of the Month!

The Lime in de Coconut is a small Key Lime Pie shake blended with coconut flakes and topped with whipped cream, crushed graham crackers, coconut flakes and a cherry. We'll even top it with a tropical umbrella to make you feel like you're on the beach!

We'll put de Lime in de Coconut and shake it all up through August for just $4.69.

Pizza of the Month

The star of the show this month is our Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza.

We start with a fresh crust and top it with ground beef and all your favorite burger fixings — bacon bits, onions, pickles and a ketchup/mustard sauce. It's built like a burger and topped like a pizza — with a gooey mountain of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.

Get a large 14-inch Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza all month long at our Cedar Falls store for just $19.99.

Meet the Moo Crew

Is there anything Jordan Hansen can't do? Not that we can see!

Jordan is the the farm's bookkeeper, graphic designer, master marketer, tourism overseer, events coordinator, fill-in milker and creamery pinch hitter. And she has the audacity to be good at all of it.

Fun fact: Jordan has been a runner for 20 years, with multiple marathons and half-marathons under her belt. (And yes, she's good at that too.)

Watch this video to see what Jordan loves about living and working on the farm.

Customer of the Month

Our August Customer of the month, Tammy Steege-DeNeut, is vocal about her preference for Hansen's Dairy products.

"Their ice cream is the best ever, and I absolutely cannot get enough of the cheese curds (all flavors)! I love their products because of their attention to quality, and I love to support their family business."

Tammy and her family frequently shop at our Waterloo store and have toured our farm several times with out-of-state extended family.

"I am so excited to be chosen as the Customer of the Month as I have loved and appreciated Hansen's Dairy in our community for many years!"

Thanks, Tammy! 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 Twitter pages.

Cow of the Month

Our August Cow of the Month, Apples to Apples, will celebrate her 6th birthday on Sept. 1. And she'll do it with a built-in birthday cake. This quirky lady has a birthday cake-shaped marking on one of her teats.

Apples to Apples has had 4 babies -- three boys and a girl -- and is currently expecting her fifth calf.

She recently reached a production milestone of 100,000 pounds of milk. That's 11,627 gallons! You go, girl!

Depending on the day, this milking marvel is either a dream in the milking parlor or a little bit feisty, sometimes wiggling until the milking machine falls off!

Cooking with Hansen's

August is zucchini season, and here's a delicious, savory way to enjoy them. You can even substitute other meats for the ground beef, like Beeler's ham or sausage, or other meats found at Hansen's Dairy stores. Click here for a printable recipe.
