There is still much ignorance about the Dutch pig industry. What is obvious for the pig farmer is often unknown to the consumer. The Van Leeuwen family seeks to dispel this ignorance with their showroom ‘Ons Boerenerf’ (Our Barnyard) that is located in Nederweert-Eind the Netherlands.

The showroom gives both the citizens and fellow pig farmers more insight into the daily routine of the family business. In the showroom visitors can take a look behind the scenes of a pig farm. Due to strict hygiene requirements visitors are not allowed to actually walk through the barns, but on various screens they can take a look into the barn. More information is also provided about the different technicalities in the barn and the partner companies of the Van Leeuwen family.

With ‘Ons Boerenerf’the Van Leeuwen family also tries to accomplish more cooperation within the Dutch pig industry. During several information sessions pig farmers and companies within the industry have the opportunity to share their knowledge. Knowledge sharing is an important priority for Daavision. Through the partnership with ‘Ons Boerenerf’ Daavision is able to make a valuable contribution.
