Let us introduce ourselves
We are Jaap Schep and Rianne de Wit. We live and work, together with our children Tim (17) and Eva (13), on our farm: “Schep Dairy Cow & Cheese Farm” in Bergambacht. You will find both mature dairy cows and calves on the farm. We use our milk to produce delicious “Goudse” (Gouda) cheese, all according to a family recipe.
We proud to note that we won the Entrepreneurs Prize Midden Holland for the category MKB (SME)** in 2017. Prior to this in 2010, we received the Golden Cheese Platter Trophy Farmers Cheese Cum Laude for the most delicious Farmer’s Cheese in the Netherlands. In 2019, our old cheese was awarded with a Gold medal during the Union of Farm Dairy Products National Championship Cum Laude Cheese. in 2020 our mature cheese and buttermilk received a Silver Medal.
It is not hard to understand why many people are willing to make a detour to visit our Farm Shop! There is a lot more we could tell you about making cheese, our dairy cows and our sustainable approach. For more details ….
