Leandro and Kay Avila
|
Our September Customer of the Month is Kay Avila of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Kay wrote us a very nice letter we'd like to share:
"I stopped in this morning to the outlet in Cedar Falls to buy some cream and cheese curds. I'm very excited about the Grass Run Farms ground beef! If you've carried it before, I missed it, but I'll definitely be buying my ground beef from Hansen's from now on. I hope this is a permanent new offering.
"Also, the cashier told me this has been available for a while now, but I didn't realize I can use my credit card to pay or to load up my Hansen's card. This is so much more convenient for my household - fantastic.
"And since I'm already on a roll about things I love about Hansen's, the local selection of honey, syrup, coffee, and produce is great! Hansen's provides an invaluable service to our community. I'm lucky I only live a few blocks away. Thank you for the great service and products!"
Thanks Kay!
Customers of the Month get a $5 gift certificate and a vehicle decal for being featured in our newsletter. |

 Farm Crawl
Hansen's Farm Fresh Dairy will again be part of the UNI Local Food Program's Farm Crawl! Date: Sunday, Sept. 8, 2013 Time: 1 to 5 p.m. (Farm Crawl finale to follow)
The Farm Crawl is a self-guided tour of Cedar Valley farms, showcasing how local farmers grow your food.
Visitors to Hansen's Farm Fresh Dairy will begin at our Tour Center and receive a free cone of our premium ice cream. A light lunch, including pork sandwiches from local producer Carl Blake, will be available for purchase. The trolley will take visitors to the farm every 15 minutes. Attendees can take a self-guided tour of the cows, calves, the creamery, the wallabies and the milking parlor. New this year are our kangaroos! Hansen family members and employees will be stationed around the farm to answer questions. Milking time begins at 4 p.m. Children can pet a calf, ride a pedal tractor, get a dairy tattoo, milk a wooden cow and guess how much a hay bale weighs for a prize. Participants can also register for door prizes. All Hansen products will be available for sale and coupons will be available.
We're also part of the Farm Crawl finale: Wrap up your tour by visiting Hansen's Outlet in Cedar Falls or Moo Roo in Waterloo for locally produced food and treats.

Cow of the Month
 The September Cow of the Month is Dabble, who is 5 years old and a mother of 2 heifers (Double and Dribble) and 2 bulls.
Dabble is one of the daughters of Dazzle, who we featured last month as our highest lifetime milk producer. Dabble is carrying on the tradition! After two years of milking, she is actually 14,000 pounds better than her mother at the same age. What a tremendous cow family to work with. They are trouble-free cows with longevity in their blood. They produce quality offspring and a LOT of quality milk!
