Responsibly raised

FARMING

Responsibility

The right choices

At Heyde Hoeve, we believe exceptional pork starts with making the right choices. That's why we produce premium pork with respect for people, animals and the environment. It's a commitment you can taste, and one we're proud to share with customers and partners around the world.

OUR MISSION

Europe's finest
BBQ PORK

Fat in the Right Places

Heyde Hoeve Duroc stands apart through its exceptional flavour, tenderness and juiciness. The secret lies in its rich intramuscular fat, creating a distinctive marbling that runs naturally through the meat. During cooking, this marbling gradually melts and bastes the meat from within, delivering a tender texture and deep, full flavour
