Description
Hansen’s Dairy is a family-owned on-farm creamery in Hudson, Iowa. The Hansen family has been farming the same land for more than 150 years. We've been processing our own dairy products on the farm since 2004. Dairy products include milk, cheese curds, butter, heavy cream and ice cream. Hands-on, guided farm tours show visitors the process of getting milk from the cow to the table. Admission includes a trolley ride to the farm, then a walking tour to see our animals and facilities. All participants can feed a calf, milk a cow by hand, pet the kangaroos (our farm mascot) and goats, make homemade butter, sample Hansen's products and eat ice cream. Hansen's Dairy is a designated Silos & Smokestacks National Heritage Site.
Hansen's Dairy also operates two retail stores. Hansen's Dairy Waterloo is a small grocery store selling our products, hard-dip ice cream treats and high-quality local food. Hansen's Dairy Cedar Falls is a small grocery store and gas station, selling our products, soft serve ice cream, high-quality local food and convenience items.
