Mobile smokehouse & woodland grazing
Amsterdam, Noord-Holland
What this loan funds
Josse's pigs already forage estates, fields, and the verges at Schiphol, enriching soil and scaring off geese. This loan secures grazing rights over additional woodland and funds a mobile smokehouse so the dry sausages can be cured on site rather than sent out. More land means more pigs raised the slow, welfare-first way, and on-site curing means new charcuterie products as future campaigns. Backers earn a fixed dividend over five years.
Backing a farm is a real-world commitment. Here's what the farmer has flagged could affect this campaign.
- Animal health
- Rule changes
- Rising input costs
- Swine-fever rules can pause the smokehouse
The farm you’re backing
Josse's free-roaming pigs live in family groups on estates, fields, and even at Schiphol, where they eat crop residue and scare off geese to reduce bird strikes while enriching the soil. Under the motto 'a little less, but much better,' the humanely raised pork becomes extraordinary dry sausages.
