Farmers Harm en Ankie kneeling between their goats.

Welcome

It all began with a dream and a passion for goats. Today, VOF van der Veen - Meijer is a farm where healthy goats, dedicated staff, and collaboration within the sector form the foundation of our success.

Feel free to browse around and learn more about our farm, the goats, and the people who work here.

With breeding as our foundation, we work towards a sustainable and high-performing herd, both for ourselves and for others.

Our farm today

Where we stand today as dairy goat farmers is the result of 30 years of knowledge and experience in goat farming, shaped by good and bad decisions, and a range of factors both within and beyond our control.

We’re proud of where we are now and of what we’ve built. It’s been a long road, not always easy, with more than a few choices we’d make differently in hindsight. And we certainly haven’t walked it alone.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has worked and is working on our farm, to colleagues in the industry who have shared their knowledge, and to all the partners who have supported our journey.

We hope our story and our farm can serve as inspiration to others.
