Since 2019, the two of us have been working together on the farm, raising sheep so that we can offer consumers local, tasty lamb that meets Belgian product on standards, ensuring a high-quality product. nOur farm has around 1,500 ewes, which lamb in batches of around 300 every two months so that we can deliver to butchers and restaurants all year round. Our animals are reared outdoors for nine months, in summer and winter, and return to the sheepfold one month before lambing to enable us to monitor the mothers and the lambs once they are born. The lambs are le to their mothers the me they need to develop un l they are weaned. The farm is self-sufficient feed, which means that we produce all our feed, grass, cereals, straw, etc. on the farm. We grow meslin, peas and other cereals to provide protein. We also have a number of partnerships with grain growers to graze their cover crops in winter, so that these crops can be ecologically destroyed by the sheep.
