Iron Ridge Dairy is owned and operated by brothers, Justin Volm, and his wife Richelle and Shaun Volm and his wife Sandra, who will be hosting the 2026 Breakfast On The Farm. The history of the farm began when Merlin and Carol Volm purchased the property in1958. They started with 33 milking cows. The original farm came with 40 acres and still
sits on that same parcel today. Terry and Kim purchased the farm from Merlin and
Carol in 1995 and started Volm Farms. They expanded the herd to 300 milking cows
while they owned and operated the farm. Shaun and Justin, Terry and Kim’s sons,
worked on the farm from a young age. Carrying out day to day chores alongside their
grandpa and dad, they learned the ins and outs of caring for animals, and they were
introduced to the crop side of agriculture. This is where the farm expanded to obtain
more acreage to be worked. In 2015 Terry and Kim, alongside Shaun and his wife
Sandi, and Justin and his wife Richelle purchased a dairy farm in Iron Ridge. This gave
Shaun and Justin an opportunity to start their business ventures. Terry and Kim sold
their portion of Iron Ridge Dairy to the 4 family members in 2021 once Terry helped get
the dairy up and running. In 2022, Iron Ridge Dairy took over and purchased Volm
Farms and at that time 700 cows were being milked. The crops grown and harvested
each year are corn, soybeans, wheat, and alfalfa. Iron Ridge Dairy now operates mainly
out of the Kewaskum location on Sunset Dr., and animals are still being housed at the
location in Iron Ridge. There are currently 15 full time and part time employees that
help keep everything running smoothly. Merlin helped on the farm as much as he
could. Terry still helps every day with his main focus being on the calves. The fourth
generation is in the making with Shaun and Sandi’s sons Dylan(16) and Collin(11) and
Justin and Richelle’s son Ryker(11).
