Taste as a reward for good care
The origins of Livar, the Limburg monastery pig, lie at Lilbosch Abbey in Echt, Limburg. Since 1999, the abbey has worked with small-scale pig farmers in Limburg to raise Livar pigs. The special crossing of breeds, feed from regionally grown cereals and the highest possible care for animal welfare, gives our Livar meat the best quality and taste. You can taste that!

Our drone captured some beautiful footage of the rapeseed near the Kloosterboerderij, which is currently in full bloom. Later this summer, the rapeseed will be harvested for the production of rapeseed oil. Perfect for baking and frying! 🍳🥩
The plant's stems are processed into litter for our Livar pigs. So our pigs are not only fed regionally grown grains, but also get to roam in local litter. How circular and local do you want it? 🐷💚
Yet another fine example of sustainable agriculture 👨🌾
