We farm differently. We prioritise the health and fertility of our soil, we strive for high standards in animal health and welfare and we build purpose driven relationships with others.
Here at Boven we work with nature and multi-species livestock, on soil that has been cultivated into a micro-organism haven. We produce healthy food in a humane way, which respects the soil, livestock and our people.
We believe food should be your medicine and not the other way around.
Boven way of farming
With nature
At Boven we aim to improve the soil. We use a stacking method and rotate multi-species livestock across different pastures. We use manure, cover crop and a scientifically proven mixture that incorporates farm waste, to improve the quality of our soil. We do not add any external or additional fertilisers, pesticides or weed killers. With the livestock and our scientifically proven methods, we are restoring the soil, improving ecosystems, controlling parasites better and getting high utilisation from the soil.
With people
At Boven we aim to give people a vision and hope to live a purpose driven life and we support them in their growth journey. We set off on a 3 year in-service training programme and include a discipleship course during induction. We provide exposure to all the different aspects of the farm and intentionally build purposeful relationships.
