Introducing:
Every day at Farm Dairy, we process fresh milk into high-quality dairy products such as whole, semi-skimmed and skimmed milk, custard and yogurt. We are also working hard to develop various plantbased alternatives. With a dedicated team of over 200 employees, ready day and night, we fill the refrigerators of the Netherlands and play an essential role in people's daily lives.
For more than 25 years, we have led the way in the production of daily fresh dairy products. By 2023, we will have expanded our range to include ambient dairy and plantbased dairy alternatives. Every product we make carries labels such as On the way to PlanetProof and Beter voor Natuur & Boer, reflecting our mission for sustainability and quality.
