In 1970, Raymond Dierendonck and his wife, Anneke, began more than just a business—they started a philosophy. From their small shop in the seaside village of Sint-Idesbald, Raymond pursued his passion for quality, diving into the world of cattle breeding with a commitment to respect for the land, the animals, and the craft.
Crafting a Legacy: The Dierendonck Philosophy Since 1970
​
Raymond chose Maine-Anjou cattle, not just for their marbled, flavorful meat, but for what they represented: a connection to nature and the importance of doing things the right way. His cows grazed freely in the polders, nourished by salty air and lush grasses shaped by the ocean breeze. This wasn’t just about raising animals—it was about preserving tradition, understanding terroir, and honoring the interplay between nature and craftsmanship.
​​To Raymond, meat wasn’t just food; it was the culmination of care, respect, and expertise. From the fields to the table, he believed in creating something meaningful—an experience rooted in taste, authenticity, and a deep connection to the land. That belief continues to define the legacy he built.
Over the years, Hendrik and his father Raymond Dierendonck have grown to become Belgians’ top choice for meat. Their unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship has earned them a place of distinction, making them the trusted suppliers to countless master chefs.
Together, they have created a legacy built on passion, expertise, and respect for the land.
