from Alphen aan den Rijn

“The farm I run with my parents-in-law is on the Oude Rijn River, opposite the village of Zwammerdam. I married Sari in 2002 and since then we’ve expanded the dairy farm from 50 to 85 cows: red-pied and black-pied Holsteiners. Our cattle grazes on pasture every day, weather permitting. They eat grass, but we give our cows extra feed too, to get the best possible milk for our cheese. That’s why we work so hard.”

Regards, Jan.
