Where does the milk that you buy in one of the Zoetermeer supermarkets come from? Maybe from a nearby farm! If you are curious about how milking (and farm life) is done, you can take a look at a farm on May 19 and May 29.

During the Farm Days, dozens of farmers all over the Netherlands open their farms. Zoetermeer residents can play games in many places and enthusiasts can of course taste products. It differs per farm what to do, but there are activities for young and old almost everywhere.
Bike or walk to the farm
During the Farm Days, a number of farms in the Zoetermeer area open their doors to the public. Grab the (electric) bike and make it a sporty and educational day out. Or drive in the direction of one of the farms and park a few kilometers away. Walk the last part through the meadows and greenery.
