Who we are

About the farm

In Essen-Horendonk we run a family dairy farm on two sites: the dairy cows are kept at the main site and the calves at the second site, where we make small batches of artisan farm ice cream from our own cows' fresh milk. You can order ice cream, ice cream cakes, ice lollies (frisco's) and raw and pasteurised milk in our webshop and collect them from us by appointment; from March to October you can buy ice cream daily between 9 am and 8 pm from our ice cream vending machine at Kraaienberg 117. By appointment we also organise farm visits, ice cream workshops and children's parties, and we supply ice cream for events.

Who are you?

As a producer, use the email address on your farm profile.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.

Is this your farm?

If this is your farm, you can take over the profile: click the button and enter your e-mail address. If it matches the address stored for the farm or the website's domain, you receive an edit link at once; otherwise we verify you with an SMS code sent to the farm's known phone number, or with a short manual check. The link is valid for 30 days; your changes appear immediately marked "under review" and become final after approval.
