MILKING SUCCESS: The Inspiring Journey of Volleman's Family Farm

“You take care of the cows, and they’ll take care of you,” fourth-generation dairy farmer, Andrew Volleman, said as he explained his dairy farming lifestyle.

Volleman’s Family Farm started in Holland in 1890 when the Volleman family ancestry “dairying” book tracked the first dairy in their family. Andrew’s parents, Frank and Annette Volleman, migrated from the small country of Luxembourg nearly 30 years ago and started the dairy farm they have today by purchasing about 50 dairy cows upon arrival to the US. For perspective, today, Volleman’s Family Farm has about 5,000 head of dairy cows.

According to Andrew, the first years his parents started the business were the most challenging. They learned about Texas from a newspaper article written about several Europeans making their way to Texas, so they decided to make the journey. They fell in love with the outskirts of the Texas Hill Country and decided to settle down there. The biggest hurdle they faced was moving to a country with two small boys and not knowing how to speak English. Not only were the language barriers challenging, but they also experienced one of the record rainfall years in Texas when they were just starting out.
