Hansen Dairy

Iowa State alumnus Jay Hansen ('71 agricultural education) and family have built a dairy enterprise around their Holstein herd in northeast Iowa including an on-farm creamery, a retail store and ice cream shop and a dairy outlet. A day at the Hansen Dairy farm is anything but typical. During one recent visit Brad Hansen and his kids bagged fresh cheese curds, while Jay and Jeanne took a moment to chat with visitors. The couple, who recently celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary, work alongside their four sons. Blair trimmed hooves with his brother Blake while Brent was out delivering product.
