Co-farming or not? If you become a Community Harvester, then you will mainly come to harvest yourself (you can always help if you want). If you prefer regular active help then the Community Farmer – Picking Garden Subscription is more for you.

(Self) Picking Garden: On the meeboerdays, at 12:30 Aafke and Pascale explain the day’s harvest and how to pick it (if it’s not already clear). Then it’s your turn to pick vegetables, herbs, (edible) flowers and fruits. Once you have mastered the technique, you can also pick independently, separate from the co-farm days, with the help of a weekly online video.

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. Also 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. With a monthly subscription, you give yourself more flexibility.

Online Community Platform: As a Community Oogster, you also get access to our online community platform. Here you can share news, events, garden knowledge, recipes and more. Every Tuesday we share a video with information about what’s up for picking that week.

Phood Farm Shop Voucher and Discount: Included in the Community Harvester – Picking Garden Subscription is a €100 voucher for the Phood Farm Shop and you get 25% on indoor farm products all year long. Think products like mushrooms, microgreens, kombucha. oils etc.

• Picking/harvesting yourself: By harvesting your own local vegetables, fruits, flowers and herbs, you will experience a new connection to your food. Weekly videos are created showing you how to harvest each vegetable and where to find them. In addition, a weekly list is shared of available vegetables, including quantities and weights.

• Freedom and flexibility: Self-harvesting becomes more flexible, so you can harvest when it suits you. In the initial phase, you can help out under supervision on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays between 09:30 – 12:30 and then self-harvest. Once you have more experience and knowledge, you are free to harvest yourself from Tuesday to Saturday.

• Freshness guaranteed: You harvest your vegetables straight from the land, right when you need them. You can’t get any 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 picking and harvesting together with like-minded people in the picking 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 €460 per year or €55 per month, enjoy a full year or month of fresh, local, (seasonal) vegetables and gardening fun with our Community Harvester – Picking Garden Subscription.

In our Indoor Phood Farm and Phood Farm Picking Garden we work with young people who are distanced from the labor market. For this we work together with Futuris and Unitio and have our own Phood Care program where we focus on ‘inner gardening’ (your personal growth at your pace).

With your participation, you automatically contribute to more growth and apprenticeships!
