About Dutch Farm Experience

Dutch Farm Experience is an independent initiative specialized in inspiring individuals and organizations worldwide about sustainable Dutch livestock initiatives, with an emphasis on dairy farming. The history of Dutch dairy farming clearly shows that it would be wise for each country to develop its own dairy development strategy – starting with its own resources and local circumstances – rather than simply copying the dairy system from the Netherlands.

The mission of Dutch Farm Experience is a better world in which milk and other livestock products are produced in a sustainable way: a way in which soil is enriched, animals live well, farmers get a decent income, and the milk produced is healthy – without chemicals.

(PLEASE NOTE that Dutch Farm Experience is a company linking you with Dutch dairy farmers, Not a dairy farm itself)
