De Groentelaar

De Groentelaar is a small organic horticultural company located in Pajottenland. Behind the name is the passionate duo Tijs and Sander, permanent employees of Lode and a group of seasonal employees. Together they grow organic vegetables in a sustainable way, paying great attention to taste and freshness and following the rhythm of the seasons.

This fine team is building a promising future for the De Groentelaar project. They focus on the ecological and social aspects, while ensuring the economic viability of the company. They work with passion and conviction!

Volumes to be contributed by our producers
Each 'The Barn' shop works closely with a local, passionate market gardener who works on a small certified organic area. We draw up cultivation plans at the beginning of each year, in order to organise the harvest and to be able to complete the range with the selected products.

A special partnership for The Barn Ixelles
This relationship was born during the preparation for the opening of The Barn in Ixelles in 2019. You will therefore only find their products at The Barn in Ixelles. We were immediately convinced by Tijs and Sander's passion, their knowledge of the trade and their hopes for De Groentelaar. We are very happy to be able to participate in their project by providing them with volumes and working with them!
