Tractor

Beemster farmers take good care of their cows. They also take good care of people. In fact, a number of livestock farmers also take care of the mentally handicapped, the elderly or people who just can't manage on their own. We call that a care farm.

During the day, they are accompanied by the farmer and a team of caretakers. In the evening, they drive back to their own homes. Our cooperative has 15 care farmers. Here you see Mark, he visits farmer Joost during the day...both happy farmers.
