This year it is 50 years ago that the first Koepon dairy farm was started in Garnwerd in the Dutch province of Groningen. The very first farm would later be joined by a significant group of “Koepon farm colleagues” in the countries of the Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain and Canada. Nowadays, Koepon has three dairy farms in three countries with about 1500 milking cows, while a fourth one with 560 cows will be launched shortly. Every reason then for a report about 50 years of Koepon farms, and of course, an interview with the colourful founder of Koepon: Wijnand Pon.
