Redhead Creamery: Cheese Whizzes

BROOTEN, Minn. — This is the story of a central Minnesota dairy family that wanted to add income to its operation and support the next generation. It's also the story of a young woman with a passion for making cheese and who, like her three sisters, is a pronounced redhead.

The extended Jennissen family and its Redhead Creamery are proof that value-added agriculture is always important and sometimes enjoyable, especially when done with family.

"People sometimes ask me, 'What's it like being in business with your family?' And I tell them, 'What could be more of a dream than having your children want to come home and being able to make that happen?,'" says Jerry Jennissen, who's been in the dairy business since 1979.
