Who we are

About the farm

We farm 57 hectares in Oosterend, on the easternmost tip of the island of Terschelling; we started with dairy sheep in 2002 and have been making cheese since 2004. We keep about 200 dairy sheep and 75 meat sheep; on the farm we turn the sheep's milk into cheese, ice cream and cosmetics (hand cream, soap), and we also sell our own lamb. In our farm shop you can taste our cheeses and watch cheese and ice-cream making, the milking (17:00–18:00) and the animals; we also deliver to your door from our webshop. We offer accommodation in furnished tents on the farm and welcome volunteers.
