If you are on a dairy farm, you must have seen the milking pit too! The farmer will gladly take you into the milking pit and show you how the cows are milked.
Since not everyone fits in the milking pit at the same time, there is a sign-up list so that everyone gets their turn.
Farmer Marije and farmer Piet enjoy an evening walk through the meadows, over the bridges, past the cows, sheep and wild horses. Add to that a beautiful sunset and great stories from farmer Piet, it couldn’t be better!
The ponies at the farm like to be brushed and cuddled. Something you are only too happy to do!
