When I saw your post I thought it would a Mom and Pa farm down the road with 5 cows, but this actually looks like a small (to medium?) size factory farm to me, well marketed.
Those huge structures are I imagine grain silos to store feed -https://www.google.com/search?q=de+backer+family+dairy&rlz=1C5CHFA_enBE715BE715&sxsrf=ACYBGNQn4k9kyejUXWVKv4s4e__D8zMMuA:1571403917030&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjNt5fi76XlAhVSaVAKHdZECfcQ_AUIEigB&biw=1920&bih=1001#imgrc=ARWxLc9EApx84M https://www.google.com/search?q=de+backer+family+dairy&rlz=1...:
How many cows do they have? Apparently farms with more than 100 cows make up just 0.3 percent of the total dairy farm population.
You can clearly see that it's a factory-like installation. Are all those people part of the family or full-time employees? I bet several are employees.
At least it does not come from across the world it's local so less impactful.

The other day I tried one of those plant-based Magnum ice creams, I couldn't tell the difference and actually liked it more.
