SCHOOL TRIP TO THE GOAT FARM - CHEESEMAKERY
The end of the school year is almost there and the little ones had a trip to the goat farm to learn how the goat cheese is made. I had to work so I wasn’t there but they had a great day.
They went to milk goat farm MooiMekker in Stolwijk. Here they have goats and milk 1600 goats twice a day.
It’s a big business. And 90% of the milk goes to the factory for sale and from 10% of the milk they make their own goat cheese with various flavors.
They make young mature and aged cheese but also cheeses with various herbs such as Italian herbs with olives, pesto, fenugreek, cumin, nettle and honey clover and delicious goat cheese with fresh basil.
I would have bought a few just writing about it !
The mums that went with the classes could buy goat cheese, feta, yogurt and milk, but also delicious local products such as honey and jam, fresh and homemade without any artificial added things. Local farmers stall their products.
At the end of the morning the kids could cuddle with the baby goats. Little C had a blast and was impressed and told us what he did all day at dinner. Than when I got these pictures I was sad I hard to work today. I would have loved to be there too.
@goat-girls I love those sweet creatures!

These are the best outings no amusement parks no big things just animals and learning how to make goat cheese so nice, I wish i was with them but work work work
That's a lot of goats!! My family used to have a cow dairy farm, but it was nothing like that. Is goat milk that popular in the Netherlands? In Canada the cheese is, but not so much the milk.
Mastersa the goat cheese is so smooth and soft it’s
Delicious and well known here in Holland. And the rules for goats are not as strict as cows so yes the are becoming more popular
What a special day the children enjoyed, I love cheese, I have never tasted goat cheese, it must be rich! The photos are cool but the one I liked the most was the last one, I'm sure the children enjoyed hugging the little goats.
That was the icing on the cake ! The teachers were told that it was possible if the kids behaved and they finished in time and ate their 12 lunch so they were doing their utmost ( I think it was per arranged but little D was on fire when he told me he had ate his lunch just to get to the goal) so this outing was the best animals rule.
And goat cheese is to die for I use it in salads it’s lovely smooth
OMG! I love goats! And those pictures of the children with the goats - oh my! So sweet!
Cindy this was great they love it and the farm / company is of the grandfather of one of the kids so cool and educational, so sorry I wasn’t there
What fun for the children..and interesting for adults too. 😊
I didn’t attempt I had to work but it was a great outing for kids and adults for sure
Wow! I, too, would love to go there on a tour. And to what time does the school year ends? In Russia, it ended at the end of May.
Hi dear it end in two weeks and we have 6 weeks free time
Occasionally it is good for people to see where food actually comes from, instead of thinking it just appears in the store.
Indeed and the witnesses the whole process and the are doing a project these last two weeks so it’s a win win
This is so nice, I love goat milk and it sure had to be an amazing experience for the kids. I love cheese too so I would had to buy at least one of those cheeses, it gave me hungry xD

Never seen goat cheese farming, what a lovely outing teaching children about life beyond the walls of supermarkets.
What a cool field trip. I recall those days when we had trip like these. A fun way to teach the children. The best part is no artificial additives to their produce.
