About our dairy. Double S Dairy was founded in 1997 by Joost Smulders and Monique Stroeve. Joost and Monique had been growing Sunflowers to pay for their trips to the United States from The Netherlands to explore areas to start up a dairy. After several of these trips, they chose Dublin, Texas. Joost and Monique got married and left for Dublin on April 28th, 1997. By May 5th they had 8 fresh heifers and 40 springers and their first milk in the tank, ( with a spoon on the agitator ). A lot of thanks goes out to their friends and new neighbors that made this possible, ( Gooike and Jan-Pieter de Vries ). Monique would be milking in their swing 6 barn as Joost would run down to Sun Valley Dairy with his pickup to get a load of feed. Within 2 months they had purchased their first tractor, and with an old feed mixing wagon from Sun Valley Dairy, they were able to quit using the truck as a feed wagon to feed the cows.
