The End of an Era: Hoeksche Zuivel Bids Farewell

Ah, the sweet smell of local dairy – soon to be replaced by… what? Whatever that solitary cow in the corner restaurant is cooking up? Yes, folks, the Commijs family has made the tough decision to sell off their beloved Hoeksche Zuivel dairy farm, and with it goes our chance to have guilt-free ice cream for breakfast. Can I get a collective ‘Awww’?

They broke the news with a mixture of pride and profound sadness on social media. I mean, when it comes to saying goodbye, social media is the modern equivalent of leaving a “dear John” letter taped to a fridge — deeply personal yet strangely public. It’s like they announced they’re selling the farm on Instagram and then expected us to only leave positive comments, “Don’t worry, your cows will find new homes! #MilkNotMourning!”

What’s Happening? Cows in Limbo!

Now, here’s the kicker: the cows are not just going out for a stroll; they’re getting a new home! Yes, starting November 16, they’ll be living their best cow lives somewhere else. It’s as though they’re getting a better deal than the humans! I mean, are they receiving a 401k plan too?

As for Hoeksche Zuivel, they’ll cease fresh dairy production. But don’t panic just yet! For a few more glorious weeks, they’ve promised to serve us tasty alternatives. It’s like playing hide and seek with our taste buds — “Is this fake cheese? Who knows, but it looks like it came from the same factory as my hopes and dreams!”

Important Dates and Changes (Not the Wedding Kind)

• Store Hours: Mark your calendars! From November 11, the store will be open on Fridays and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. That’s it—your ‘cheese’ days are numbered!
• Final Farewell: The last day of sale is December 21st. Get your cow memorabilia before it becomes a collector’s item!
• Christmas Delight: Don’t you dare despair! The oh-so-popular Christmas ice cream cakes will still be making a triumphant return. So prepare for a sugar rush that’ll make you forget this whole closure business!
• Goodbye Ice Cream: The range of ice cream and other local products will still be available until the grand closure. Thank goodness we might still squeeze in one last scoop…or three!
• New Beginnings: The farm shop will reopen in the first quarter of 2025 under new management. Let’s hope the Verduyn family can fill the creamy-sized hole left behind!

And let’s give the Commijs family a round of applause for their years of dedication, providing us with the sacred chance to eat our way through local dairy like there’s no tomorrow. They’ve taken us on a cheesy journey we didn’t know we needed. They now hope that customers will pop in one last time before they close—so let’s make it a nostalgic exit, shall we? Who knows when your last chance for fresh scoop of lily-white goodness might come?
