Weert - Hoogeveen family
Take a look at Family Hoogeveen's farm in Weert
We are involved with the whole family in the ups and downs of our pigs. Our family consists of Wim, Mariëlle, Anne and Elle. Besides keeping Livar pigs, we also have Charolais cows.
Wim is mainly concerned with looking after the Livar pigs and cows, while the daughters can more often be found with their horses. Besides taking care of the animals, Wim is also active in nature management.
We were very interested in Livar's small-scale concept and therefore signed up with Livar after an appeal in a trade magazine. Since May 2012, the pigs have been lying finely in the straw with us. We love the fact that the pigs are allowed to walk outside. Passers-by often stop to look at the pigs: pigs walking outside is a rarity.
We are often asked about our favourite piece of meat. For us, this is a tricky question. However, if we have to choose, we go for the ribeye, with a nice rim of fat. Prepared on the grill, because that gives the meat its delicious flavour.
