Working together

"April does what it wants", this saying is telling about the capriciousness of the weather in this month, but at Henri Willig we know for sure every year that this is the busiest month on the farms. From the opening of the Keukenhof, many buses with groups of tourists visit us at the Jacobs Hoeve in Katwoude, The Catherina Hoeve on the Zaanse Schans and the Alida Hoeve in Volendam.

"April does what it wants", this saying is telling about the capriciousness of the weather in this month, but at Henri Willig we are sure every year that this is the busiest month on the farms. From the opening of the Keukenhof many buses with groups of tourists visit us at the Jacobs Hoeve in Katwoude, The Catherina Hoeve on the Zaanse Schans and the Alida Hoeve in Volendam. Fortunately, there are many colleagues from the office who help out on these busy days. Very inspiring to contribute to the hospitality in the shops and of course nice to meet new colleagues again at the various locations! Of course, this is also significant again about our corporate culture: together as one family, our people make the difference and we put our shoulders to the wheel to inspire the whole world with our beautiful cheeses and delicacies.

Meet Linde (25 years old) , our new livestock farm manager

17 Nov 2025

Linde (25 years old) - Organic dairy farm manager

After an apprenticeship in Canada, Linde found exactly what she was looking for at Henri Willig: a place where animal welfare is paramount.

"Here, the cow's welfare really comes first. That may sound obvious, but at Henri Willig you notice that it really is," Linde says. "Here, the health and welfare of the animal is taken care of first, and only then production. The cows then reward this with very high contents in the milk. This fits well with my beliefs - and with what I learned during my education."
