Lindenhoff BV

What Lindenhoff BV does

Lindenhoff BV is a privately held, family-controlled Dutch specialty food producer founded in 1989 by Ben and Ria te Voortwis on their farm in Baambrugge and now run by the second generation (Berend and Willem te Voortwis on the business side, Dirco and Joëlle te Voortwis on the farm). The company operates a vertically integrated farm-to-counter model across 75 hectares of herb-rich grassland, breeding Gasconne and Simmentaler cattle, the proprietary Baambrugs Big pig, and Kamper lamb, and housing animals in the world's first cow greenhouse (koeienserre, built 2011) with in-house dry-aging chambers and an open kitchen garden.

Its product surface covers fresh and dry-aged beef, pork, lamb, game and poultry, a curated cheese and dairy selection, seasonal vegetables, charcuterie, and chef-developed prepared meal boxes. Distribution is delivered through three interlocking channels: the on-farm Lindenhoff Marché retail shop and café (open Thursday-Saturday), the dedicated B2B Lindenhoff Horeca division (a separate sales team, ordering system and website serving restaurants and caterers for 30+ years), and a D2C e-commerce webshop with nationwide home delivery and click-and-collect, augmented by a weekly Saturday stand at the ZuiderMRKT market in Amsterdam. Co-branded recipe boxes with chefs including Restaurant Wils, Restaurant Choux, Restaurant Heimat and food personality Miljuschka, and exclusive fresh pasta with Leonardo Pacenti, extend the brand reach into premium prepared-food.

Monetisation is per-unit / per-weight at published prices (e.g., Baambrugs Big pork medallions at €7.45 for two, Simmentaler tenderloin at €18.95/kg, a four-to-eight-person Beef Wellington box at €136.95), supplemented by €25-€100 Lindenhoff gift cards. Pricing is publicly listed and includes VAT, with delivery fees calculated at checkout via MultiSafePay/iDeal. The company employs more than 100 staff and works with a network of partner farmers, growers, and chefs; no external institutional capital, M&A activity, or international geographic expansion is evidenced.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Sligro Food Group: Largest Dutch HORECA wholesaler distributing food and non-food to restaurants, caterers and large-volume hospitality operators. Overlaps with Lindenhoff Horeca in serving Dutch restaurants, but operates at national scale with broad assortment rather than artisan specialization.
• Hanos: Major Dutch and Belgian cash-and-carry and HORECA wholesaler supplying restaurants, hotels and caterers with food and beverage. Comparable on the HORECA distribution channel to Lindenhoff Horeca but at significantly larger scale and with generalist assortment.
• EkoPlaza: Largest Dutch organic supermarket chain with nationwide retail footprint. Comparable at the consumer channel for sustainably produced food, though positioned as a multi-SKU organic retailer rather than a single-farm artisan specialist.
• Bidfood: International foodservice distributor with Dutch operations serving restaurants, hospitals, education and care institutions. Comparable as a HORECA channel competitor, though focused on broad-line distribution rather than premium artisan sourcing.

Direct peers

• The New Farm: Dutch sustainable urban farm and farm-to-table restaurant concept producing vegetables, herbs and eggs for hospitality and consumers with transparent, regenerative practices. Comparable at the 'experiential farm-as-retail-and-HORECA supplier' level, though focused on produce rather than meat.
• Frank's Smoke House: Dutch artisan smokehouse producing dry-cured meats and BBQ products sold to consumers via retail/e-commerce and to restaurants. Comparable as a Dutch premium meat specialist combining craft butchery with DTC and HORECA channels.
• Pit & Pit: Dutch organic food subscription-box delivery operator shipping curated boxes of fresh and artisan products to consumers. Comparable at the DTC e-commerce and curated-box layer, sharing the 'know-your-farmer' angle but without on-farm retail or HORECA.
• Brandt & Levie: Amsterdam-based artisanal meat producer and butcher specializing in slow-cured, hand-made bacon, sausages and charcuterie supplied to top Dutch restaurants and consumers. Directly comparable as a Dutch premium meat craft brand combining on-site butchery, B2B hospitality supply and DTC retail.
• De Hoeve BV: Dutch farm-raised meat producer and B2B supplier of beef and lamb to restaurants and retailers, with its own farm-based retail offering. Closely comparable as a Dutch farm-to-HORECA operation with own livestock and B2B distribution.

Emerging players

• Picnic: Dutch online-only supermarket using a hub-and-spoke delivery model that delivers fresh food, including premium and local SKUs, directly to Dutch households. Overlaps with Lindenhoff's webshop and home-delivery channel, particularly in adjacent premium/frische positioning.
