In our ongoing series highlighting the people who love Kalona SuperNatural products, we sat down with Jess Hodge (@jesshodgewellness), a stay-at-home mom from Solon, Iowa, who shares her journey with our grass-fed dairy and why quality matters for her family’s health and the effects dairy has had on her fertility.
Q: Tell us a little about yourself and how you discovered Kalona SuperNatural.
Jess: Hi! I’m Jess Hodge from Solon, Iowa. I’m a full-time stay-at-home mom, and on the side, I’m very passionate about nutrition. I discovered Kalona SuperNatural because I was born and raised in this area—Kalona is only about a 20 or 30-minute drive from my home. I feel so thankful and privileged to have grown up near Kalona and to have access to these incredible products.
Q: What’s your favorite Kalona SuperNatural product?
Jess: I absolutely love the Organic Vanilla Yogurt! The taste is incredible—the texture is so creamy and delicious that it basically tastes like dessert. Most importantly, it’s grass-fed yogurt with a cream top that makes it special. You just can’t beat it!
Q: What makes you choose Kalona yogurt over other brands available in stores?
Jess: It’s definitely the quality that keeps me coming back. The fact that it’s grass-fed, comes from regenerative farms, and has that beautiful cream top sets it apart. When you understand how important these factors are for nutrition, it makes the choice easy. Kalona SuperNatural’s commitment to minimal processing with low-temperature vat pasteurization and non-homogenization means I’m getting dairy that’s as close to its natural state as possible.
Q: Has incorporating Kalona SuperNatural products made a difference in your life?
Jess: The impact has been tremendous, actually. I used to struggle with fertility issues, and when I started learning about how to properly nourish my body, I discovered that a lot of that came down to the quality of dairy I was consuming. Kalona SuperNatural became my perfect one-stop shop for all my dairy needs. The fact that the products come from pasture-raised cows on small family farms practicing regenerative agriculture gives me confidence that I’m putting the best possible food into my body and my family’s bodies.
Q: If you could share one message about Kalona SuperNatural with others, what would it be?
Jess: You simply cannot beat the quality that Kalona SuperNatural provides. It really does matter where you get your dairy from, and their sourcing is top-notch. When you understand that what you eat directly impacts your health, choosing Almost Raw, minimally processed organic dairy from grass-fed cows makes all the difference. That’s what Kalona SuperNatural offers, and that’s why I’m such a devoted customer.
