Mark Krouse and family |
The November Customer of the Month is
Mark Krouse
of Waterloo.
Mark's memories of our
Hansen's Dairy Moo Roo store make us realize how long we've been in business!
"When I was in school my parents would take me and my siblings to get ice cream often," Mark said. "I have continued this tradition with my daughter and wife as we go nearly weekly to the same location in Waterloo."
The family loves to buy cheese curds and get ice cream treats. "My daughter enjoys the vanilla ice cream, I usually try anything I haven't had in a while, and my wife loves the Cotton Candy or Cookies n' Cream," he said. "Our family enjoys the freshness and variety that Hansen's provides as well as the always friendly staff."
Thanks, Mark! 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 $30 value). You could be chosen by filling out an entry form at our stores or through your comments on our
Facebook
and
Twitter
pages.

Cow of the Month
|
The November Cow of the Month is absolute perfection.
Absolut just turned 6 years old and is
producing a whopping 136 pounds of milk a day. She's accumulated
110,000 pounds of milk in her lifetime - that's 12,800 gallons! She is also a high butterfat producer, which means she is a great contributor to our tasty heavy cream, butter and ice cream.
 Absolut is a wonderful cow to work with. She has great feet, legs and udder, which are three of the most important traits for a cow. She has also produced three beautiful heifer calves: Abednago, Alize, and Abel-Red (pictured).

Cooking with Hansen's
|
I like one-dish meals, keeping meals simple and clean-up quick!
Here's a recipe you can use and modify to suit your tastes.
Any meat can be used (Hansen's Dairy Stores carry a huge variety), including leftover roasts or poultry.
You could also add in other vegetables like peppers, tomatoes, beets, broccoli, or okra.
And the cheese choices are endless!
