Eight Maids A-Milking
Kevin Danzeisen, Owner, Danzeisen DairyThere are plenty of farms and ranches dotted all across the Valley, but few operate like Danzeisen Dairy. After Neil Viss started up his dairy back in the '60s, his grandson, Kevin Danzeisen, helped take over operations in 2002, working to build up and expand the business. Over the years, the dairy, which only uses glass bottles to enhance the flavor, has launched several tantalizing gimmicks, chief among them orange milk.

I know there's a lot going on in the world, and it's easy to watch the news and think it's all going down the tube. But there's a lot of hope, too."
