Phood Community Farming

At the Phood Community Farm in Eindhoven, we let you experience how wonderful it is to grow local vegetables together with nature all year round. While you farm and harvest your fresh vegetables as a Community Farmer, you contribute to a healthy soil and world. Sign up and enjoy year-round fresh seasonal vegetables and herbs, and edible flowers and fruits in season!

A look at the garden.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Since 2021, enthusiastic community farmers have been growing seasonal vegetables all year round based on permaculture principles on 1.5 hectares. Take a look at our communal vegetable garden on Puttense Dreef, at the level of Dirk Ketstraat, in Southeast Eindhoven.

Permaculture in practice

Every week we put our hands in the earth and work according to permaculture principles.

Harvesting your own vegetables

Pick year-round locally grown fresh seasonal vegetables, herbs, edible flowers and fruits.

Greening the city together

With care for soil and biodiversity, we garden in an ecological and nature-inclusive way.

The garden as a meeting place

As a local community, we grow not only vegetables, but also knowledge, involvement and community.

Growing together, including online

We make collaborative gardening and harvesting accessible and convenient through a garden (web) app.

Learning Together. Growing together.

Welcome to the Phood Community Farm. Here you learn everything about growing seasonal vegetables according to permaculture principles. As a Community Farmer, you work together with like-minded gardeners. Discover how to sow, grow, and harvest—and enjoy the fresh air.

As a Community Farmer, you will help about 6 hours a month in the community vegetable garden. You get to work sowing, planting, weeding, practical garden chores and more. After working, you get to harvest whatever is available at the time: you can’t get fresher!

If you become a Community Harvester you will come to harvest and pick mostly, but may also help out occasionally. The GardenPlanner app will keep you informed of what’s available to harvest each week and where to find it. Regular gardening days are Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere: it’s approachable, fun, delicious and cracking fresh. We grow unsprayed, local and regeneratively grown products. And you can taste that!

This is how our farmers think.

The Phood Farm locations.

The garden of the Phood Community Farm is located at the intersection of Puttense dreef and Dick Ketstraat in Eindhoven. Here you can co-farm weekly. The regular co-farming days are on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm.  

Phood Farm’s indoor farm is located at Hugo van der Goeslaan 2-01 in Eindhoven. Here, vegetables and herbs are grown year-round via aquaponics. Products such as microgreens, mushrooms and kombucha are grown and made with care.  

Frequently asked questions.

Harvesting follows the natural rhythm of the seasons. In summer, the harvest will naturally be more bountiful than in late winter or early spring. From mid-December to May we harvest every two weeks, from June to mid-December weekly. You will harvest an average of 5-15 vegetables at a time and additional herbs, edible flowers and fruits. The harvest list indicates which seasonal vegetables you can harvest that week.

Quantities depend on what the land brings us. On average, a harvest is enough for one enthusiastic vegetable eater to enjoy the garden for a week. With two, you can also get an average of 3 to 4 meals a week from it.

At Thursday, Friday and Saturday between 09:30 and 12:30 we will first help on the land with the present community farmers and then harvest between 12:30 and 13:00. If you are an experienced Community Farmer, you may also farm outside these times.

In the GardenPlanner app you can see which sow, plant and other work can be done. In the app you will also find the harvest list with explanations of what and how to harvest.

In that case you can give your harvest moments to someone else who can harvest in your place. Note: new community farmers or people filling in will always have to do so first under the supervision of experienced community farmers on Thursday, Friday or Saturday.

You may come to harvest whenever you want. During daylight, seven days a week.
Are you a new member? During the first month we ask you to harvest on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday at 12:30 when community farmers are present to give explanations.
Because we do not grow vegetables in standard rows, it can take some getting used to at first. The TuinPlanner app shows where, what, and how.

You may walk freely through the garden at any time and enjoy all its beauty. Please do stay on the paths and not stand or walk in the vegetable beds. This is important because we do not machine our soil. We work with a no-dig setup. By walking in the vegetable beds, you compact the soil, and as a result it becomes more difficult for the vegetables to grow.

The membership for the Phood Community Farm is an annual membership. If you wish to stop, terminate your membership before the end of your subscription year. If you are in the middle of your subscription year, no refund of the subscription fee will be issued.

Yes, you can also just help out without harvesting. Then first send an email to [email protected] to sign up as a volunteer and how often you could help out. After that we will contact you!

The garden of the Phood Community Farm is located on Puttense Dreef, at the height of Dick Ketstraat in Eindhoven. You can find us here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/xfsEi38kKZVmev7c8
