Annechien ten Have Mellema
Farmer, Beerta, Netherlands
Annechien ten Have-Mellema focuses on integrated sustainable agriculture as part of a family partnership. The Ten Have farm is a 600-sow farrow-to-finish facility near Beerta, in the north of The Netherlands. The farm has a capacity for about 5,000 wean-to-finish pigs, which are mostly sold under their own brand and qualify for two stars in the national welfare label Beter Leven. The farm includes a training and welcome room, offering great views over part of the finishing pig house. The farm has a total area of 250 hectares. Ten of those hectares are used to grow lupins for the own use. The farm also produces winter wheat, lucerne, sugar beets and corn.
