About Family Billens
In 1989, Luc and Lea took over the business from his parents. Back then, they mainly grew apples and pears. In addition to these two main crops, they also grew strawberries on a smaller scale, and later added kiwi berries and giant pumpkins. Today, the farm has grown significantly and now covers an area of 8 hectares. The majority of this, 60%, is dedicated to pear cultivation.
