==Brewing and Blending Process==
Boerenerf is a blending facility and receives lambic wort from 5 different lambic brewers: [[Brouwerij_3_Fonteinen|3 Fonteinen]], [[Brouwerij_De_Troch|De Troch]], [[Brouwerij_Lindemans|Lindemans]], [[Den_Herberg|Den Herberg,]] and Angerik. The first lambic to be barreled was brewed at 3 Fonteinen in April 2020, forming the bulk of the first fruit lambic release in 2021. De Troch and Lindemans began supplying lambic wort in 2021, and Den Herberg and Angerik joined in 2022.

Currently there is no in-house brewing installation. The first two batches of lambic were bottled manually on the farm, but since the 2022-2023 season, Boerenerf has used an automatic bottling line. The number of barrels grew rapidly from 25 in 2021, to around 80 in 2022, with a total capacity of about 25,000 liters.

In 2021, the first release of fruited lambic was unique in that all ingredients were sourced from the Zenne Valley and Pajottenland. Boerenerf's ambition remains to work as locally and organically as possible. The blending facility’s commercial season traditionally begins during Easter weekend, with the release of new beer batches. The variety in the beer lineup can vary annually depending on the fruit harvest. In 2022, Boerenerf released it's first traditional 'old gueuze,' named 'Cuvée Heritage', as a tribute to the Eylenbosch family ancestors.
