The Spadgenske family started their dairy operation in 1994 with 60 cows, one tractor, and two brothers in Menahga, Minnesota. Today, they milk 300 cows and farm 1,000 acres along with a dedicated team of six employees.

Their success is rooted in the lessons they’ve gained from both challenges and achievements, as well as a deep commitment to sustainability through forward-thinking practices.

Mark and Kristine, together with their children, are actively involved in the dairy industry and their community, participating in numerous events and industry organizations. They also take pride in opening their farm to the public, offering tours that help connect their neighbors to modern dairy farming.
