WW Homestead Dairy

In 2011, two NE Iowa families, decided the time was right to enter the local food market with dairy products made from milk produced on their farms. WW Homestead Dairy is owned by Tom Weighner, Paul Weighner, and Tom Walleser. Between the three of them they have over 90 years of experience in the dairy industry. “We work hard to produce dairy products that are natural, have great flavor & taste, and are as fresh as possible,” say the WW Homestead Dairy owners.

WW Homestead Dairy is nestled in the town of Waukon, Iowa. This community is rich in history and surrounded by fertile farm land. Not only does the creamery offer its customers the freshest products with extraordinary flavors, but tours are available and visitors are encouraged to watch how products are produced. The back hallway was built with large viewing windows that allows customers to see the hard work, effort, and quality that goes into making their cream-line milk, ice cream, cheese, and butter. Be sure to stop by WW Homestead Dairy the next time you're in the area and sample our farm fresh goodness. If you would like a tour be sure to call ahead!

At WW Homestead Dairy we produce cream-line milk or non-homogenized milk. Our milk comes straight from the two local farms outside of Waukon & Lansing, Iowa to our creamery, so on every other day pick up our milk is never more than two days old when it makes the trip. This helps us to provide a higher quality fresher product to you!

Besides our milk we also produce over 30+ flavors of delicious premium ice cream, with more flavors being developed every season. All of our ice cream is made from the farm fresh, cream-line milk that we process at our creamery and care goes into making sure each recipe is made with top quality ingredients. We are currently trying to source more natural ingredients for our ice cream. Our mix is high fructose corn syrup free and currently we have 5 all natural ice cream flavors!

Our cheese curds and block cheese are made by Bruce Snitker, the creamery manager. Bruce holds a Wisconsin Cheesemaker’s License and is very conscientious and attentive to details when it comes to making the best cheese possible. Our customers love the fresh squeaky cheese curds that are made almost daily! We also produce various types of cheddar cheese in blocks that are just as tasty as our curds.

Our farm fresh butter is churned weekly (when cream supplies allow) and is as rich and creamy as any you will find. It is also great for baking and cooking.

In 2018 we added fresh, small batch cottage cheese to our product line. This 4%, small curd cottage cheese is made from our non-homogenized milk and is the best cottage cheese you will find in the tri-state area.
