Who we are

About the farm

We farm on a former monastery grange on the banks of the Vecht between Oud-Zuilen and Maarssen; our family has worked here since 1924. In 2021 we started a SKAL-certified organic pick-your-own vegetable garden, and since 2015 we have been growing a food forest; in our circular system our own sheep and hens provide manure and bees help with pollination. In our community supported (CSA) garden, members with a harvest share pick their own vegetables and herbs on Wednesdays and Saturdays from May to November; volunteers are welcome, and we also host concerts on the estate.

Who are you?

As a producer, use the email address on your farm profile.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.

Is this your farm?

If this is your farm, you can take over the profile: click the button and enter your e-mail address. If it matches the address stored for the farm or the website's domain, you receive an edit link at once; otherwise we verify you with an SMS code sent to the farm's known phone number, or with a short manual check. The link is valid for 30 days; your changes appear immediately marked "under review" and become final after approval.
