The history of LafautIn the 1940s, Gerard Lafaut buys six hundred laying hens, a valuable purchase during the tough war years. It marks the start of four generations of Lafaut in poultry.
Gerard Lafaut's son, Azair, builds a breeding barn in Beselare. In the following years, the farm is expanded to 20,000 parent stock.
Azair Lafaut decides to hatch eggs in-house. An in-house hatchery is built in Beselare.
The hatchery continued to grow and Azair Lafaut took the plunge abroad. He bought a hatchery in Hondschoote, France, which was fully developed. In the same year, his son Koen joined the family business.
