If you know me, you know I’m at big advocate for community colleges. DMACC gave me such a great start to the real world- debt free. Last night I was honored to receive the DMACC outstanding alumni award. This isn’t about me or what we’re building here at Tenley Farms; all of this that you see today is a correlation to the education that set us on the path we’re on today. I knew going into the evening I would face some sort of imposter syndrome, I was correct 😆 THANK YOU to my Ag Business crew for the nomination. Congrats to the other award winners! And of course- GO BEARS 💙🤍🖤

Demeter’s has been a long time friend to Tenley Farms 🍪 Congrats Torrey and the entire crew, cannot wait to see how your business develops!!

Thanks so much to everyone who supported us in the last five years! It’s been my greatest blessing to return home and find myself surrounded by so much love and support. ❤️

I truly can’t find the words to express my gratitude for all of you and the way I feel. Thank you for the joy y’all bring into my life.

Thank you for always believing in me and all the kind words along the way, It means the world to me. And lastly I can’t thank Iowa Mainstreet enough for their contributions to myself and so many others choosing to invest in our communities and businesses.

Every gallon you buy keeps our lights on — literally.
And in 2026, that means more than most people realize.

Across the U.S., small family dairies are disappearing at a staggering rate. According to the USDA, the number of licensed dairy farms has dropped from over 70,000 in the early 2000s to fewer than 24,000 today — a decline of nearly 65%. Iowa alone has lost hundreds of small dairies in the last decade as consolidation pushes milk production into fewer, larger operations.

Every year, more barns go dark. More family herds are sold. More generational farms close their doors.

At Tenley Farms we are incredibly grateful to have a reason to turn our light on, twice a day-everyday.

When you choose local milk, pork, or beef from a small farm like ours, you’re not just buying food — you’re voting for:

-Family farms to stay in production
-Local agriculture that keeps rural communities alive
-Financially sustainable farms that don’t have rely on government subsidies.
-Real food produced by the hands of the farmer.

We’re grateful every single day that our barn lights still have a reason to turn on.
We’re grateful that our kids get to grow up milking cows instead of just hearing stories about “how the farm used to be.”
We’re grateful that you believe in small agriculture enough to keep us here🥹🤍

From our family to yours — thank you for keeping our lights on.
You make it possible for small dairies like ours to survive in a world where so many no longer can.

Tenley Tidbits;

Love them, but don’t think there will be anymore at Tenley Farms 😆 Smooches Brown Swiss is the sweetest thing, doesn’t enjoy reproducing. P’s Brown Swiss is a bulldozer with a personality, and also doesn’t enjoy reproducing.

Anyways, breeding window advice on Brown Swiss is appreciated🫣🫠
