Spring cleaning time!

Come get your hands and feet dirty with us at De Stadsgroenteboer. Net Impact Amsterdam members are coming out to support the team with spring preparations. After a long winter, it’s time to get out there and enjoy some physical activity, social interaction and exposure to nature, while helping a local sustainable food producer.

Farmers at De Stadsgroentenboer produce food for people, directly, honestly and with a positive impact on their surroundings

De Stadsgroenteboer is a place of exploration, experimentation and inclusion. Despite farming on less than a hectare, they produce a considerable amount of vegetables by applying bio-intensive techniques. This means they use dense planting systems and multiple plantings on the same bed over the season. They are very conscious about keeping the soil fertile and healthy. They use compost, green manures, mulch and other methods inspired by nature to not only maintain but actually improve the quality of their land.

‘Gardening adds years to your life and life to your years.’

We’ll be assigned to various jobs at the farm based on our personal interest and ability. No prior farming or gardening experience necessary.

• Wear boots or shoes that can get dirty and clothes that will keep you warm and dry if necessary
• If you have gardening gloves, bring them with you
• Bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated
