Now appearing at BOTH Iwig Family Dairy stores

Our ice cream guy has been working overtime creating a delicious array of our exclusive Iwig ice creams. At both of our stores, you may find a wide selection of flavors. New flavors hitting the shelves this week include Vanilla Bean, Orange, Peach, Pumpkin Pie and Snowdrift Driveway (kind of a vanilla rocky road.) We also have a generous supply of traditional favorites such as Vanilla and Chocolate as well as the locally famous Brown Bread. Currently, we have 19 different flavors of ice cream in our freezers available for purchase. In addition, you can purchase 1/2 pint size portions at our Gage store along with a spoon for immediate consumption. Stop by and check out our flavors. Hands down, this is the richest, most flavorful ice cream you will ever taste.

Grand Opening at Gage location

Stop by on 11-18-10 between 3:00 and 5:00 for our Grand Opening on Gage. We'll have free cookies to go along with the milk for all visitors. And thank you for each of you who helped make this day happen!

New store and New flavor!

We bring you two pieces of good news today. All week, Iwig Family Dairy has been operating at the new Gage location for a few hours each afternoon. As of tomorrow, that will change, and we will be open Mondays through Saturdays from 10:00 to 7:00. As the store evolves, we hope to carry the same range of products available at the farm, including a variety of locally produced products. Come out and visit!

Also, we continue to get requests for our flavored milks, this afternoon, we should have banana milk on the shelf, and more flavors have been ordered. Especially watch for our Egg Nog in the upcoming weeks as the holidays approach!

Eggnog on the shelf, and Name That Calf

I came to work this morning, greeted by the smell of eggnog in the processor. It was a long stretch, waiting for it to be bottled, so I could sample it. Delicious! As the holidays approach, we hope to be offering eggnog on a fairly regular basis. Be watching for it in the dairy store and in the stores that distribute Iwig milk.

Now, we need your help. Whenever a calf is born, we refer to the first letter of the mother's name to guide our selection of the calf's name, so it is easier to track the family lines. Today, Holleen had a heifer calf. We are asking YOUR help in selecting a name for her. The options are "Holly" and "Hillary." What do YOU think? Cast your vote for the name of our newest baby!
