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 on developing various plantbased alternatives. With a dedicated team of more than 200 employees, ready day and night, we make sure the refrigerators in the Netherlands stay filled and contribute to 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 non-perishable dairy and plantbased dairy alternatives. Every product we make carries labels such as On the way to PlanetProof and Better for Nature & Farmer, reflecting our commitment to sustainability and quality.
