Community Farm Trial Day - Every first saturday of the month!
€20,- one-time (includes harvesting)
or free (without harvesting)
Want to see for yourself what grows and blooms in our garden and experience for yourself what it's like to help out in the fields? Sign up for the Community Farm Trial Day!
At our 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.
Our enthusiastic community farmers share their knowledge in a hands-on way and let you experience the joy of working with nature. During your tasting day, you will pick your own vegetables, herbs, edible flowers and fruits in our garden!
Our garden is managed in a natural and regenerative way, caring for people, soil and biodiversity. We do not use any form of pesticides, poisons or fertilizers.
Sign up for a trial day!
Taster days are every first Saturday of the month from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. Together with experienced community farmers you will explore our garden and learn about permaculture.
Pick your own vegetables and herbs.
If you opt for a trial day including harvesting, you will get an explanation around 12:30 about what you can harvest (we have a different harvest list every week) and how to do it. Then, under supervision, you will go pick your own vegetables, herbs, and possibly edible flowers and fruits! The harvest varies with the seasons, so there will be more to pick in the summer than in the winter.
- Harvesting yourself: By picking your own vegetables, fruits, 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 $20, enjoy a morning of gardening fun and pick that week’s seasonal harvest yourself during the Community Farmer Trial Day. The harvest is for 1 person. Coming with more than one person? Then order a tasting day for two or more people.
Includes:
- Guided tour and co-farming in the fields.
- One part of that week’s vegetables, herbs, edible flowers and fruits. The harvest is seasonal: flowers and fruits are only available in season. In April and May, the harvest is also more limited than the rest of the year, like summer.
Come for a trial day and experience the benefits of freshly harvested produce and active involvement in our Phood Community Farm!
