Supplying milk to CONO?
At CONO Cheesemakers, we are proud of who we are and what we achieve together. Together, our cows, dairy farmers and cheesemakers are committed to a positive future for future generations. We remain true to our core values: Together, conscious, sustainability, and the tastiest cheese. This is reflected in everything we do, from caring for the cattle on the land to the final product, the very tastiest cheese. We market this through a number of strong cheese brands such as Beemster® cheese, Amsterdam Cheese Company, Weijdeland, Stompetoren and Huizer Kaas-Gilde.

Scope of work
The operating area of CONO Kaasmakers
- The province of North Holland excluding the island of Texel;
- The province of Overijssel within the line running from Nieuwleusen via Heino, Mariënheem, Daarle, Beerzerveld, Hardenberg and Stegerveld to Nieuwleusen;
- Flevoland with the exception of the Northeast Polder.
In addition, our cooperative has member dairy farmers in Drenthe, Friesland and South Holland.
Dairy farmers with the farm a short distance from the working area or on the route of CONO dairy farms outside the working area (Drenthe, South Holland and Friesland), will also have the opportunity to become members. This if transport costs do not increase significantly.
"Because of the uncertainty in the cattle industry, we were eager to supply CONO. In our eyes, CONO is a healthier cooperative than our previous dairy. We also missed the commitment there. What we like about CONO is that it is a smaller cooperative with a strong product." - Smit family, Middenbeemster
