During one of our hikes recently we passed a dairy farm along the Oranjekanaal in Zuidveld, near Orvelte. The sign saying 'melktap' ('milk pump') caught our attention..
.. so we had a closer look and discovered a 24/7 self-service organic milk device..
..and even a place to sit and rest. Isn't that nice? We went along without taking a bottle of milk in our rucksack, but I'm sure many passers-by do so.
This is all new to me! I remember when I was very young helping my grandmother and uncle with the milking on my grandma's dairy farm. She had about a dozen cows. Milking them by hand twice a day was quite a chore. It was about that time, early 1940s, that automatic milking machines came out, but I don't think grandma ever invested in them. I knew people down through the years who used them, though, and they seemed to work very well. But I never saw anything like this!
That is something!!! : )
