Shannon not only served as a Brown County Dairy Princess, but was also chosen as a Finalist for Princess Kay of the Milky Way in 2002. She was honored to have her head carved in butter. When asked about her favorite promotion, she shares, “Being at the State Fair was an amazing experience! I loved working at the Moo Booth, sharing about my farm and how we care for our cows everyday of the year!” Shannon has been married to Jonathan Seifert for 5 years. They reside in Sleepy Eye, where they operate a dairy farm in partnership with Jonathan’s parents. To current dairy princesses, Shannon advises, “Be proud of where you come from. Less than 2% of the US population works as farmers, but we feed so many! Don’t be afraid to share you story! So many consumers don’t understand where their food comes from and we need to work to change that.” Shannon is active in promoting everyday through her Orange Patch Dairy Blog, as well as working as the coordinator for the Brown County Dairy Princesses. “Dairying is my passion and I love sharing that with anyone who will listen. Hosting preschoolers at our dairy farm has to be my favorite promotion!” Shannon also shares, “I will never forget the surprise party that the Brown County ADA hosted for me before I ran for Princess Kay of the Milky Way. It was amazing to see so many producers and friends show their support, and I will never forget that! I continue to promote dairy, to give back to an industry that has given me so much.”
