New Day Dairy LLC

Our days are spent caring for 120 cows, our growing family, and you our guests on our Century Family Farm in North Central Iowa.

Travel has always been a big part of our lives – both growing up and after meeting each other in college. Early in married life we spent a couple years living overseas. Our time spent traveling & living overseas has shaped who we are, how we look at the world, increased our compassion for others, and given us a deeper understanding of the world around us (although we still have a lot to learn & experience ourselves!).

We know that’s why you travel too – not to Escape but to Enrich your life and bring new Experiences to your Every day.

We are a working dairy farm, not a hobby farm. What does this mean? All of our family’s income comes from the dairy farm (and GuestBarn). This is our full-time job (and then some!)

Stick around long enough and you’ll find #DairymanDan playing guitar or piano IN THE BARN – we call it music therapy. Our 3 kids help keep Lynn’s schedule full.

Our freezer is always stocked with ice cream – because why not eat ice cream every day! Our cows’ milk is made into Prairie Farms’ cream cheese. Yum! All of our cows have names – and if a calf is born during your say – you’ll get to help name her!

Most of all we love knowing that each day we help feed over 8,500 people delicious dairy products! Instead of each of those families having a cow in the backyard, we care for their cows in our barn!

Also be sure to explore the New Day Dairy GuestBarn to find the right vacation rental accommodation for your stay in Northern Iowa. Enjoy a full-kitchen, dining room, and lounge areas plus each guestroom at our working farm has a private bathroom and includes our great amenities, a DIY Continental Breakfast, and Intro & Farewell Barn Tours.

You can choose to rent just one of the rooms (while still having the common spaces all to yourself) or bring the whole family or meet up with friends and rent all 3 rooms! The GuestBarn can sleep up to 11 people! Spend your vacation get-away the way you want to with the people you choose!

Enjoy your time away and spend 2 or more nights sleeping with the cows – you save with every additional night. Explore the great outdoors, other animal encounters, museums, local restaurants & ice cream shops, and spend more time with the cows by adding our Exclusive “Be A Dairy Farmer Challenge” Hands-On Tour.
