Community Farmer - membership

Want to help out in the fields and learn how to grow vegetables? Pick fresh, local and regenerative vegetables? Sign up as a Community Farmer!

At Phood Community Farm in Eindhoven, we grow fresh seasonal vegetables. Together with a diverse group of like-minded co-farmers of all ages and backgrounds, we work regeneratively according to permaculture principles.

Experience the joy of working with nature and pick your own vegetables, herbs, edible flowers and fruits year-round in our self-harvest garden!

Our Community Farm is managed in a natural and regenerative way, caring for people, soil and biodiversity. We do not use any form of pesticides or fertilizers,

Co-Farming: Become a Community Farmer and co-farm about 6 hours a month in our community vegetable garden! You can choose what day and time you want to help. The first weeks you will be guided by an experienced community farmer and learn all about growing according to permaculture principles. The regular co-farming days are Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 09:30 to 12:30.

(Self-harvest) garden: From your buddy you will get explanations about the week’s harvest and how to pick it. When you have mastered harvesting, you can also pick on your own when it suits you, apart from the co-farming days. In the GardenPlanner app you will find the week’s harvest list and instructions on how to harvest.

Harvesting follows the natural rhythm of the seasons. In summer, of course, the harvest will be more bountiful than in late winter or early spring. However, there will be work on the land every week, even in winter, and there will be something to harvest almost every week. With an annual subscription, you are going to experience the unique beauty of all seasons.

As Community Farmer:

  • you are part of an engaged community
  • work together in the garden and learn by doing
  • Introduce you to permaculture and organic principles
  • you can harvest what the garden produces
  • Learn together about processing and eating seasonal, locally grown food
  • contribute in your way (in time, knowledge, energy or ideas)
  • think about the development and future of the garden
  • you pay an annual contribution of €420 if you participate in the garden
  • Harvesting yourself: By harvesting your own vegetables, fruits, edible flowers and herbs, you experience connection with your food.

  • Fresh, local and regenerative vegetables: You harvest your vegetables straight from the land, right when you need them. You can’t get fresher!

  • Connected to nature: You actively experience the seasons. From the first spring flowers to the harvest of autumn, you see what grows and what doesn’t during the year.

  • A strong community: By being with like-minded people in the garden, we strengthen social bonds and work together to create a healthy, local food supply. Together, we make the harvest richer and the experience more meaningful.

For €420 per year*, enjoy a full year of fresh (seasonal) vegetables and gardening fun with our Community Farmer membership. Membership is for 1 person.
