It's been 116 years since the town creamery in Bongards, MN burned to the ground in a fire. Local farmers gathered at the grain elevator on October 28 and made the decision to form a new farmer-owned co-op creamery - a creamery which would become Bongards Creameries today. So each year on this day, we proudly celebrate Founders' Day. We are grateful for our hardworking farmers, dedicated employees, and loyal customers. Cheers to 116 years of Bongards!

It's National School Lunch Week! To celebrate, we'd like to introduce you to Nereida Soto, the Sr. Cafeteria Manager at IDEA Sports Park Academy in Brownsville, Texas. Nereida has been in the school foodservice industry for an impressive 25 years! Nereida takes significant pride in the work her team does on a daily basis and the role they have in each and every child's life that passes through their cafeteria. She and her staff work hard each day to make a positive impact on students by preparing healthy and appealing food, providing the utmost care, and by creating a welcoming, fun, and festive environment. Nereida's personal favorite school menu item is Crispy Baked Chicken with Rustic Mashed Potatoes and Gravy and Homestyle Greens. Sounds delicious! Nereida is excited to celebrate NSLW because she enjoys educating others on the nutritious meals they provide students as well as decorating the cafeteria to match the year's theme.

Today is National Farmer's Day! To celebrate, we'd like to showcase one of our farmer-owners: Ryan and Amy Roller. The Rollers and their three young children farm approximately 90 registered Holstein cows, as well as corn, alfalfa, oats, and sorghum-sudangrass, near Hewitt, MN. Ryan and Amy, both fourth generation farmers, began farming together with Ryan's parents in 2012. They took over operation of that farm in 2023. Their farm is one of the many that supply the milk used to make your favorite Bongards® cheese! When asked what they love most about farming, they responded that they love spending their days outdoors, raising their kids on the farm, and watching "how God provides season after season." They added, "It feels like we are part of a bigger picture." Their favorite farming memory is Thanksgiving Day 2019 when - after much hard work and investment - they were able to move into their current free stall barn. The design allowed them to improve overall health, comfort, and management efficiency of their herd. The Rollers have many dreams and visions for their farm and are proud to have seen some already come to fruition since taking over the operation. We greatly appreciate the Rollers and all of our farmer-owners. Thank you for all the hard work you do to contribute to our co-op and feed the nation!
