Our farm :

She’s located in the hamlet of Brokenhoek a part of the town of Sint Denijs. We are near big towns like Kortrijk, Wevelgem, Zwevegem or Rijsel (Lille) allowing to Jean Bertrand to selling our products on the markets. At Brokenhoek, we are a little more than fifty inhabitants. There is seven farms, they produce cereals, sugar beet, endive, potatoes and they raise dairy and meat cows and pigs. Our farm is the only in organic farming but we are also the only at doing beer production. We have a close relationship with one of these farms because we have some of our machinery in common (combine harvester, seeder,..). Our productions:

The pig breeding: Cyrielle and Nolwenn manage our pig breeding on straw. They use their agricultural training. They are in charge of the preparation of the food, the motherhood, the fifty mothers and fattening. The crops production: We cultivate 130 hectars, we mainly produce the food for our pigs and for the beer production. The crops are: - Barley: 26 hectars (to feed the pigs and for making the beer). - Maïze : 25 hectars (pigs). - A mixture of peas, oats and triticale: 33 hectars (pigs). - Faba: 26 hectars (pigs). - Endive: 18 hectars (for the firm of Warcoing). - Grass: 1,5 hectars. - Hop: 0,5 hectars. - A little garden. Products processing: Each week we cut 1-2 pigs by a butcher and we made the tapas and delicatessen ourselves. Gautier who works in a brewery in the past, is in charge of beer production which represents 100 liters per week (one working day is accumulated per week). To conclude: This is the boss Jean Bertrand who travels the roads of Belgium from market to market for selling our famous tapas, the delicious beer and some vegetables.
