Eigen Kweek (English: Home Grown) was a 2013-2019 Belgian crime comedy television series on the Belgian channel Eén. It was the most watched TV programme in Flanders in 2013.
The show revolves around a family of local Belgian potato farmers, Jos (Dirk Van Dijck) and Ria Welvaert (Sien Eggers), who lost all their money and try to win it back by growing cannabis. For this reason, it has been called "the Breaking Bad of Flanders". A spin-off series, Chantal (2022) has Maaike Cafmeyer reprising her role as Ria's policewoman friend in the title role.
