Sustainable and Innovative Dairy Farm

Jerry and Linda Jennissen have a 200-cow farm outside Brooten, Minn. And they take every opportunity to produce the highest quality milk they can, which makes it the most sustainable farm for their family. These efforts earned them the 2016 U.S. Dairy Sustainability Award for Outstanding Dairy Farm Sustainability and the 2017 Innovative Dairy Farmer of the Year award.

​They also raised four redheaded girls on this farm. Two of them now run Redhead Creamery, which uses milk straight from these cows.
