Anderlecht, Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest, 1070
BIGH’s first urban farm is the Ferme Abattoir built on the roof of the Foodmet market hall, designed by ORG architects, on the historical Abattoir site in the heart of Brussels canal priority development area.
The Abattoir site is famous for, its cellars, its listed market hall, and its lively market attracting over 100.000 people over 3 days each week. The site hosts the only city centre artisanal slaughterhouse activity in a European capital. All this food activity justifies the Abattoir’s nickname “the belly of Brussels”.
