Delicious local: Ground ivy

Chicory, the pride of Flemish Brabant and especially in the neighbourhood of Helios you will find a lot of growers of ground chicory.

Rita and Luc, are the fourth generation in the Salens family to run the family farm. They started in the centre of Kortenberg, in the Engelenstraat, with a combination of arable farming, beef cattle and soil cultivation. The combination of arable farming-sheep cattle-soil leaves turned out to be a bit much, therefore they reduced and stopped the branch of beef cattle since 2016. Since October 2016 they have moved to a new branch in Erps-Kwerps. Here we fully focus on ground wheat cattle and arable farming. Also our farm shop has moved with us, which in December 2017 counts 25 years. In our farm shop we offer the freshest products every day. We can also provide you with filled baskets of fruit, vegetables or both.
