De Stadsgroenteboer

This week again all the veggies do 't really fit on the picture...
Box #19
With tomatoes, zucchini, salad, purple basil, bok choy, carrots and bush beans.

All our members got a huge basil bunch to make some nice pesto at home. It's the perfect moment for that! The tomato beds will be emptied next week and the basil was growing on the shoulders of those beds. This way there is space for our winter crops in the polytunnels🥲☀️☃️.

Today, while harvesting purple basil, we found this Swallowtail (Papilio machaon) pupa - or at least that's what we think it is ;).

This butterfly likes to move further north in warm years, which could be a reason why we found it today. Normally, it's more commonly found in South Limburg.

We hope it will survive and wish it good luck 🦋

When the spider mite arrives it's a reminder that autumn is around the corner. 🕸️🍂

Luckily, according to our crop plan the first two cucumber beds need to be emptied this week in order to make space for the winter crops. Perfect timing?

21/08/2025

The beds are full of veggies, the flowers are in blossom, and the birds are singing along. Plus, our pizza oven is hot ;)
Let’s celebrate this special moment of the season together! We invite you to our farm at Nico Broekhuysenweg 22.
We’ll share a detailed programme soon, but here’s what you can already look forward to: farm tours, activities for all ages, live music, and delicious food!

Box #16
Runner beans, turnips, corn 🌽, kohlrabi, basil, cherry tomatoes, zapallito and cucumber

This year we grew more corn because it's just so delicious! While the zapallito plants are still very productive the peak of our cucumber plants has been reached and during the next week(s) we will already harvest the last ones.

Over the season we introduce our farmers 🏋🏽‍♂️

The interviews are also published on our weekly newsletter. As the season is on full swing we post some of them a bit later. Because all hands are needed in the field and we love to be outside 😎
