About Hansen's Farm Fresh Dairy
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. Since 2004, we have been processing our milk in our on-farm creamery and distributing the products throughout the Cedar Valley. We are truly farm-to-table! Hansen's "legendairy" products include milk, cheese curds, butter, heavy cream and ice cream. The four brothers of the Hansen family each manage different aspects of the farm's production: livestock care, crop management, creamery production, and product delivery. Farm tours are available to help our customers connect with our farm. Products are available at our two retail stores in Waterloo (3015 Kimball Ave.) and Cedar Falls (127 E. 18th St.), and several other grocery stores in Waverly, Cedar Rapids and Iowa City.
What makes our products "legendairy"?
- Our dairy products come only from purebred Holsteins, born on raised on our farm and never treated with growth hormones.
- When our products get to your table, they're only a few hours old.
- We use a high-temperature, short-time (HTST) pasteurization process to best preserve the natural flavor of milk.
- Hansen's milk is non-homogenized, and some people with lactose intolerance say they can consume it with no ill effects. Remember to shake well!

One of the most interesting aspects of Hansen's Farm Fresh Dairy is the Tour Center, a monolithic dome structure built in 2012. Not many people can say they've seen the ins and outs of farm life. At our Tour Center, you can learn about the farm's history and how we take care of our cows. From March to November, we schedule tours of the farm for visitors to see the cows, goats, and kangaroos. We can accommodate up to 100 people. Hansen's Farm Fresh Dairy schedules two types of tours: Walk-Through and Hands-On.
Walk-Through Tour
The walk-through tour is a guided tour that takes you through the process of getting milk from the farm to your table. Enjoy a trolley ride around the farm, then see the calves, milking parlor, barns, creamery, wallabies, kangaroos, and goats, plus enjoy a dish of ice cream.

Hands-On Tour
On this tour, you'll see everything in the Walk-Through Tour, but you'll also feed a calf; make homemade butter; milk a cow by hand; and pet the wallabies, kangaroos, and goats.
