Digital platform for local treasures: LIMBURG SMAAKT NAAR MEER
Discover local products and farmers
‘LIMBURG SMAAKT NAAR MEER‘ or translated as “Limburg tastes for more” is an initiative by the Belgian Province of Limburg, promoting local products and supporting the farmers who produce them. Nearly 2,900 Limburg farmers work daily to provide fresh, high-quality food. This initiative helps strengthen the local agricultural sector and encourages consumers to choose authentic, seasonal products.
A platform for local food lovers
This digital platform connects consumers with local producers, providing information on where to find their products. It also shares the stories behind the farmers and showcases events that promote short supply chains, allowing people to experience Limburg’s farm and regional products firsthand.
Why buy local?
- Fresh, unprocessed products straight from the farm nearby
- Seasonal ingredients that inspire creativity in the kitchen
- Fair prices that support local farmers and communities
A culinary inspiration
The enthusiasm for Limburg’s local products has even crossed borders. Dutch authors Herman van Veen and Lieke Meijers recently incorporated recipes from the ‘Limburg smaakt naar meer’ website into their new cookbook, celebrating the region’s rich culinary heritage.

“Use the website to discover which producers are active in your area. By buying local, you invest in your own community. Today, 193 Limburg producers are registered on the ‘Limburg Tastes for More’ platform! That’s quite a number. Do you know any producers who are not yet on the website? Let us know!”
