The milk from our enterprising dairy farmers is the basis of almost all the products that we make. Like dairy farmers, we think in generations rather than in years. We find it important that we are on the same page as our dairy farmers, that we do business together. We like to work with dairy farmers who:
We have various milk flows, each with its own programme and customers. Dairy farmers choose with us the milk flow that suits them. Each dairy farmer is equally important to us, regardless of the milk flow in which he delivers.
With the Beter voor-melkstroom (Better-for-milk flow), for example, we respond to the specific wishes of Dutch retailer Albert Heijn. Meanwhile, more than 450 dairy farmers supply milk within this milk flow. For the extra efforts that they make to be able to participate in the Better for Cow, Nature & Farmer programme, Albert Heijn pays the dairy farmers a premium on top of the price of meadow milk.
