"We sow in the spring, while it’s still cold, directly in the ground. The tiny seeds are protected from frost and cold with fleece, which helps the seeds to germinate and speeds up growth." (Christoph & Katrin)

"Our location offers particularly favourable soil and climate conditions. The herbs are shielded from Baltic winds by the Apennine Mountains. The soil is incredibly fertile, enriched by the volcanic influence of Mount Vesuvius, which makes it rich in organic material." (Guglielmo)

Cultivation philosophy

Our cut herbs come from an extensive network of growers, who apply a range of cultivation techniques to allow us to offer the highest quality throughout the year. Based in Europe and diversified to minimise risk, our herbs are grown outdoors, under tunnels, in greenhouses or within a circular indoor farm. Our organic Dutch potted herbs are available year-round from our greenhouses in Venlo.

Grown outdoors in the open field and open air, exposed to all the weather conditions that Mother Nature throws our way. This makes our herbs more resilient.

Also grown in the open field, but under tunnels, shielding the herbs from extreme weather conditions, which have unfortunately become more frequent in recent years. This method is particularly suitable for more delicate herb varieties.

Our organic potted herbs are grown year-round in greenhouses in Venlo.

Fresh, premium-quality herbs, grown in a fully CO2-neutral process. Harvested and packaged fresh in Venlo.
