Join us for a gathering around the pizza oven on July 5th, 16:00–19:00 at Nico Broekhuysenweg 20 ().

We're heartbroken by what's happening in the world and want to come together, take small action, and support those facing genocide—all while sharing good food in community. It's a donation-based event, with all proceeds going to clean water for the humans in Gaza, be as generous as you can!
We will send the money to .eenolijfboom.

If you have ingredients to contribute for the pizza, let us know—we’ll turn them into something seasonal and delicious! - specially still looking for mozzarella and olives!

Thanks for showing up plentyful! We will make it a beautiful afternoon!

Box #9 With pointy cabbage, curly endive, kapucijners, garlic scapes, buck's horn plantain and fava beans 😋
Missing in the picture: a basil seedling that each of our members got.

🫛It's finally time for legumes. Especially favas have been so beneficial to our garden. Even if they were not grown as a green manure the crop afterwards still seems to benefit from the nitrogen left behind. That's why we grow even some more beds of it this year. Another plus point is that slugs don't seem to like them so it's a save choice for us.

🤓🧄And what are garlic scapes? There is softneck and hardneck garlic. By the way the difference is easy to feel when you hold the whole garlic plant in your hand. Hardneck garlic forms a flower and that's the garlic scape. They are harvested (before flowering) so the plant puts its energy into the bulb. Those scapes have a tender garlic taste and are a real luxury product as the harvest season is very short and every garlic only forms one scape. Hard neck garlic cannot be stored as long as soft neck garlic, that's why you probably find mainly the soft neck type in the store ;)

Were you wondering where our pickup locations are exactly? Here we made an overview 👀

We also have good news, from this week on our pickup point at Pension Homeland is moving to Buurtboederij Centraal. We were so glad to have been working for so many years with . To make it possible for even more people to pickup a weekly veggie box at the Marineterrain we have moved around the corner where there is a bit more space.

You find all distribution points also on our website.

Small box number 7

Fennel, cauliflower*, lettuce, turnips, onions* and beets*

*by

We are especially proud of the big fennels that we harvested this week from two plots.
It's the time of the year where people think summer has already started and indeed many crops are in the ground but they are just before going into production and that's why it's a good moment to buy in some veggies.

When we started the farm we felt a bit ambivalent about buying in. We maybe still do but over the years we have also found which crops work for us and which not. And that in scarcer times we can support other nice producers who have appropriate storage facilities (like for beets and onions). Cauliflower we stopped growing a few years back because the production was just too low. However, we got the recommendation that now that we are a few years further the soil might have improved, so who knows if we will try to grow them again ;)

Proud of our kohlrabi, honey melon size and juicy ;)!!!

They are grown in some plots that we used to struggle with. With lots of rain the water would stand there and the crops turned quickly yellow. We already got an attachment to break open the soil and had a green manure plan to break open the compacter layer that lays at about 50-60cm depth. But as a first measure we installed 2 or 3 years ago drainage and that helped already so much that we think the other steps are not needed anymore.

S box number 6

Melissa, green chard, bok choy, lettuce, kohlrabi, strawberries 🥳, curly endive and red giant

On our tomato plants the first green tomatoes are ready, our first cucumbers start to produce and from the one zucchini bed in the greenhouse we already harvested some this week for our large boxes.

Before these crops are really into production it will still take a bit. This is also because our greenhouses are not heated. Some people ask us already now for tomatoes, which makes us realize that there is a big gap between what is locally grown and what you can find in the supermarket. We hope our members can learn with the box about seasonality 👨🏽‍🌾

At the moment we still have an enormous abundance of endive and salad 😋

Box #5 🥳
Carrots, radishes (Ostergruss), salad, potatoes krieltjes (by Lindegaard), bok choi, spring onions and fava bean tops.

At the moment we have a big salad abundance so our members got extra salad this week. A good moment to make up for the greens you didn't have in winter ;)

Probably in two weeks we can start to harvest legumes! And pssst... in the greenhouse the first zucchinis are starting to produce so there will already be some few lucky members next week who find zucchini in their box.

It's almost time for fava beans 😋

But before they are ready we harvest the tops, they are actually delicious! It's the perfect time to do that when most of the plant is still flowering and the first pods are starting to develop. By topping them they will put more energy into growing the pods (or that's what some people say...). But what we know for sure is that those tops are a delicacy. You can cook or fry them or use them raw in salads. 🥗

👉🏽 Check out the vegetable archive on our website. There you can find all the crops we grow, also the fava bean tops.

Let’s Talk MULCH

Mulching is known for its many benefits. By covering the soil, it reduces evaporation and thereby conserves water. An indirect effect is that it helps prevent nutrient loss by reducing erosion and runoff. The humid soil under the mulch is home to many microbes, insects, and earthworms.

That's the pretty story of mulch, and our dream is to implement it all over the farm.

But here's the ugly story: mulch also creates the perfect habitat for slugs. Over the years, we’ve become more conscious about where to mulch and where not to.
Not with zucchini, because they can be eaten in one night by slugs.

Buuuut look what we tried this year: straw mulch for zucchini! It was so dry that we dared to give it a shot. Now (luckily) it's raining again, and we’ll see if the slugs find the plants or not ;)

We’re also experimenting this year with zucchini in landscaping fabric. We used it before, then stopped—but after the w**d explosion last year, we decided to bring it back for some crops.

Farming is a compromise—and no year is like the other. ;)

This week we already made box number 4 of the season 🎉

The small box this week got beets, kohlrabi, spring garlic, mizuna, lettuce, fennel and frills.

This year the garden feels very abundant. Last year we needed to skip a box around this time because everything grew so slow and was eaten by slugs. This year we have been harvesting so much from the greenhouses and they are still not completely empty yet. While tomatoes and eggplants are already starting to grow in betwee.

This is the beauty of a CSA! After joining for a few years you can start to compare and to recognize differences between years. Thereby you get a better understanding on how the weather and temperatures influence what you eat weekly.

Today we harvested for our boxes, w**ded, searched for elderflower (its syrup time again 😍) and planted zucchini & zapallito (which is something in between a pumpkin and a zucchini). The garden is looking greener every day. The 'kapucijners' in bloom, the beans coming up... What a beautiful place to work at.

If you pick your box up at the farm you are always welcome to spend some time in the garden, look around, maybe have a chat with your farmers? 💚
