Beef and veal are coming from the Johan’s parent’s farm in Dixmude, West Flanders, not far from North Sea. Feed with fresh fodders and cereals, the cattle enjoy the fresh air from the sea side. They’re raised without antibiotics or growth hormones. This is how we guarantee a tender meat with an intense taste.
The BRASVAR pork is raised in East Flanders, in a little farm in Nevele. Pork are raised on a respectful and organic way. That’s the point for this juicy and tasty meat.
