Who we are
About the farm
In Alken, on the Martenshoeve, a family farm for four generations, we run a closed pig farm (all piglets are born here) combined with arable farming; we grow almost all the feed ourselves on our own fields – barley, wheat, maize, field beans, beet and grass. Our pigs are slaughtered in our own micro-slaughterhouse on the farm and processed by us. In our farm shop and butcher's in Alken we offer our own meat alongside dairy, bread, fruit and juices from partner farms; we are also present at the market in Hasselt, and our second shop in Hasselt-Runkst looks forward to your visit.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
