WeGrowOrganic was founded by two farmers from Zeewolde, Thijs Geerse en Wouter Snippe. Since 2001, they have been growing a wide range of wonderful organic produce with great enthusiasm. This produce absorbs extremely high levels of nutrients from the rich polder soil where it is grown. Thijs and Wouter transport their products to the consumer as carefully and as quickly as possible and keep the ‘field to fork’ chain as short as possible. They sort, process, pack and sell their products directly from their own farm through a wide European network of buyers.
