When the four Hansen brothers came back to the family farm, which had operated since 1864, things had to change — meaning they had to expand. Since 2004, when the family built its own creamery, Hansen’s Dairy has taken ‘side hustle’ to a whole new level, adding their own line of milk, ice cream, cheese curds and even a couple of branded retail shops, not to mention kangaroos. Jordan Hansen tells host Davis Michaelsen the amazing tale on this episode of Grow Getters.
Grow Getters takes a lively look at creative ways farmers are plugging into their passions and sometimes exploring new technologies to add revenue to their operations. In agriculture’s challenging economic climate, these resourceful “grow getters” are redefining what it means to be a farmer. Mixing fascinating stories with lots of humor and even some music from Davis, Grow Getters is truly an original in the world of Ag media.
