About Koopman Farms
Koopman Farms is an international family business with agricultural operations in the Netherlands and Germany. The company dates back to 1904, when Klaas Koopman founded the first farm 'De Oosterhoeve' in West Friesland. Today, the value chain encompasses milk production (dairy farming), arable farming, and the generation of renewable energy. In a biogas plant, cow manure is converted into electricity that fully supplies around 400 households. Milk is produced with a focus on animal welfare and sustainability; the company's mission is the sustainable production of dairy products for the consumer.
