History of Lady-Lane Farm
The Wilco profile says Garry Hansen, a third-generation dairy farmer, left his childhood farm in 1992 and started Lady-Lane Farm on a rented facility nearby, naming it for his cow Lady. He bought the present farm in 2000 and moved the milk cows there in 2002 after building a milking parlor.
In the mid-2000s he bought used bottling equipment from a retiring Washington farmer, and building and installing it took three to four years. The farm bottled its first milk in May 2009. The profile adds that farmers markets became vital during COVID-19 and that the farm expanded its products.
What Lady-Lane Farm Grows and Raises
The herd is a 75-cow purebred registered Jersey herd. The parlor was converted to a robotic milking system in 2019 to reduce labor needs, and seven employees work on the farm.
Milk is bottled mostly in glass under the All-Jersey label in half gallons, quarts and pints, in full-fat, reduced-fat, skim, cream, half and half and flavored versions. The farm also makes butter, cheese and ice cream, raises Jersey steers for ground beef, Wagyu for steaks and Berkshire hogs, and shows Jerseys locally and nationally.
