A family business in constant evolution

Innovative

We have created ideal conditions for growing mushrooms at our farms in Uden.
It goes without saying that everything is as sustainable as possible – this means solar panels, heat recovery and heat and cold storage. Together, these ensure a huge reduction in CO2. What’s more, we generate a significant portion of our own energy this way. But the most striking element of our production is our advanced automated harvesting. We collaborated on this innovative system with a world leader in harvesting solutions for mushroom-related businesses. This system is unique in the world and contributes to more efficient production. This enables us to ensure that our boxes of organic mushrooms appeal to consumers in every possible way.

Just the way you want

We aspire to serve the market as best we can, so we make our own organic compost, which allows us to be very flexible and able to respond to supply and demand. Our dehydrator also helps keep us flexible and maintain balance between supply and demand. This acts as a buffer in the case of occasional market fluctuations. It means that we don’t lose any of the mushrooms to which we have dedicated so much time and energy.

We are growers in heart and soul. We want to provide a delicious and genuinely sustainable that is healthy in all respects and completely tailored to our customers’ needs.

More than 50 years of experience
in mushroom growing

Our parents were among the first to start growing oyster mushrooms, later adding flat mushrooms, white mushrooms for the English market, portobellos and more.

1992

The company grew, and in the 1990s Jeffrey and Dorus joined the business.

The company switched to organic, partly from the conviction we needed to do things differently, but mostly because it suited us better.

Having our own drying facility also helps with flexibility to balance supply and demand so that we can actually use all the harvest for market. We are growers at heart. We want to deliver an (h)honest product that is healthy in every way and is fully customized to our customer’s needs.

Together, these give a huge CO2 reduction. In addition, we generate a significant portion of our own energy this way. But surely the most striking thing in production is the far-reaching automated picking: an innovation we have been working on for years, together with a world leader in setting up turnkey solutions for mushroom farms and composting companies. This innovation is unique in the world and will contribute greatly to more efficient production in the future. Our goal is to keep a box of mushrooms affordable for consumers.
