The Van Breugel kids- Femke, Mike, Luke and Nynke – are quick to put on their coveralls and head out to the barn after school at Meadow Hill Farms. With their parents Wouter and Antje, the whole family moved to Milton from Groningen, Netherlands two years ago to dairy farm, running the robotic operation with a Holstein herd. Their goal for the farm’s future is to work on good soil nutritional management for better yields.
The Faces of Farming calendar is published by the PEI Federation of Agriculture to connects Islanders with the individuals and families who grow their food, and provide a window into an industry vital to the Island economy, environment and communities.
