Become a harvest sharer!

Ekoto works according to the principle of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). You support us. We give you fresh veggies. We've closed the program for a year, but we re-open subscription now! Only 40 subscriptions will be available this year.

You'll become part of a network and a vibrant community. For the upcoming season, you get a weekly box of freshly harvested veggies right out of the soil - from May until November for a period of 24 weeks. You pick up the box on Tuesday in Breda, or on Saturday at Ekoto's farm, where you can take a look in our fields. 

Main points:

• You get 4 varieties with a small harvest box and 7 varieties with a normal harvest box.
• On the "Collection Day" your veg box at a collection point of your choice. Saturday morning at Ekoto or Tuesday evening after 6pm in the Blauwoogvlinder in Breda.
• On "farm day", Saturday (09.00 - 12.00), you can come to Ekoto's Farm and chat to us with a cup of tea or walk to the fields or the pigs. Of course next to picking up your box on the farm.
• You can become a member of the app group 'Ekoto recipe inspiration' and the app group 'Ekoto harvest' with information about the vegetables of the week.
• There will be some annual celebrations. You can also become a volunteer, set up an event team or organize canning days. But first and foremost, nothing is expected from you, it is entirely optional and voluntarily.

Super healthy

We do not use any pesticides and take care of the soil with organic fertilizer and compost. Because we do not use artificial fertilizers, the crops absorb many micronutrients such as boron, calcium, copper and manganese.

We don't grow vegetables, but nutrient-rich food. This way you and your family stay healthy and energetic.

The gardeners

The founder of Ekoto is Ivar van Dorst. He completed HAS Green Academy, set up Ekoto and does a lot of active and pioneering work locally and globally. Ivar stepped back from the farm in 2024, but is active in an advisory roll.

Johan and Anja, Ivar's parents, used to be horticultural producers up until 2024 in which they produced lettuce, leek and andive for the larger market. 

Johan has now taken on the job of a farmer once again. He always fantasized of having a large, diverse veggie garden and selling some of the produce in the local community. 

Anja used to work in a vegetable market stand earlier in her career and has always had a love for running a shop. Now she has taken that job once again on her and she is learning on the go on how to run an independent farm shop.
