About LA BOUCHERIE SOUS LE PORCHE
Sous le porche is a farm butcher shop based in Bassenge, Belgium, built around the idea of bringing together farming, butchery, and direct local sales. The business says it opened its shop on 4 February 2017 and presents the butcher shop as a continuation of its agricultural vision, with an emphasis on artisanal quality, freshness, and authenticity.
It serves local consumers looking for meat, charcuterie, prepared foods, cheese, and catering for everyday meals or events. The company positions itself as a farm-based butcher that controls the production chain more closely than a conventional retailer, while also offering practical access through its shop, distributors, and catering service.
Core Values
- Local and artisanal quality: The company emphasizes artisanal products and local meats, presenting freshness and authenticity as central to its offer.
- Responsible farming: It states that its family farm has long chosen responsible agriculture and that it seeks to control all stages of production.
- Animal welfare: The farm says animal welfare is at the center of its concerns, especially in the way it raises its own pigs.
- Environmental care: The business highlights practices that reduce environmental impact, including using farm-grown feed and recycling straw and crop residues back into the fields.
Unique Aspects
- Farm-to-butchery integration: Sous le porche raises its own pigs and manages the process from birth through fattening, giving it direct control over part of its supply chain.
- Closed-loop farm practices: The pigs are fed with crops from the farm, including ground corn, and housed on straw from the farm’s cereals, which is then returned to the fields as fertilizer.
- Multiple sales channels: In addition to the shop in Bassenge, the company sells through distributors in Eben-Emael and Haccourt, and its prepared dishes are available in a 24/7 self-service distributor with card payment only.
- On-site catering service: The business offers home catering and barbecue service for private events, extending its butcher-shop offer into event dining.
