Hansen's farm has been in
the family since 1864. The first
gallon of milk from the farm's
175 Holsteins was produced in
their creamery in 2004. Jay and
Jeanne Hansen and their four
sons operate the farm.
The family owns three retail
stores: Moo Roo in Waterloo,
Hansen’s Dairy Outlet in Cedar
Falls, and Hansen’s Tour Center
on the farm. In addition to
selling Hansen’s dairy products,
each store also sells local
produce, meats, eggs, dry
goods, and Wisconsin cheeses.
The farm is also open for tours.

The Bagges began
producing strawberries
16 years ago as a way to
involve their children in
agriculture. Now the farm
has blossomed from two
acres of berries to 32 with
the help of their children
every step of the way.
The Bagges love living and
farming in Northeast Iowa
and believe their berries are
a delicious taste of what this
beautiful area has to offer.
Come meet them at the
many farmers markets they

COMMUNITY-SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE
What is a CSA? CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture) is known as “subscription farming.” You buy a
subscription from a local farmer just like you buy a newspaper subscription and in return you receive weekly shares of fresh,
locally grown produce throughout the farming season. Some farmers also offer CSA shares that include meat, eggs, dairy, bread,
honey, and other products.
