What our visitors say

Thank you for the fantastic tour in December!  Our Tiger Scouts really enjoyed the tour, from the reports I received the boys they really enjoyed seeing all the dairy cows, especially the calves.  I also heard from the parents, "This is not what I expected to see, I could not believe you can run such a clean operation." and "This is not like Grandpa's dairy barn."   Congratulations for building and running such a beautiful dairy.

Thanks for sharing your off time with us.

Thank you so much for helping to coordinate a tour with us. It was wonderful talking with everyone involved in your operation and getting to talk with about the great facility you have!

As agriculture students, we have seen a lot of farms and dealt a lot with animal welfare and other current issues in ag. We got to talking on the ride home and would like to extend an extra thank you for taking the initiative to actively involve consumers with learning about where their food comes from and how farmers number one priorities are always their animals, and the environment! Many of the revolutionary practices on your farm are paving the way for people to see the positive side of modern farming with a friendly and passionate staff to help along the way!

We learned a lot and look forward to incorporating this information into our presentations to the public and our second annual Ag Awareness Day. Thank you again for all you helped us with, and for continuing to promote a positive and responsible image of production agriculture!

I want to take this time to extend a sincere thank you to you and the owners and staff of Rosendale Dairy.  The 53 Manitowoc County residents (farm and nonfarm alike) who participated in the tour  truly enjoyed their experiences at Rosendale Dairy.  We had a lot of positive comments about the tour and a tremendous amount of discussion on the way home.

 Again, on behalf of the Manitowoc County contingent, thank you very much
