Subscription Veggie box (14 weeks)

Become a harvest sharer!

Ekoto works according to the principle of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). You support us. We give you fresh veggies. We started in spring and we re-open subscription now!

You'll become part of a network and vibrant community of 90+ other harvest sharers. You support a system of "Solidarity Payment" where everyone can join. For the upcoming half a season, you get a weekly box of freshly harvested veggies right out of the soil - from the week of 27 august until the 2nd of December. You pick up the box on tuesday or wednesday in Breda, or on saturday at Ekoto's farm, where we have coffee or tea. 

Questions? Call farmer Jannes, +316 83806926. 

This is what you get from us:

• On the "Collection Day" an assortment of vegetables at a collection point of your choice. You get 3 to 4 varieties with a small harvest box and 5 to 7 varieties with a normal harvest box.
• On "farm day" Saturday (09.00 - 12.00) you can come to Ekoto's Farm and drink tea or coffee. Regularly, you can attend the education or play moments for children.
• 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.

Solidarity Payment

The payment is different than you are used to. The annual amount for your harvest portion is based on your capacity, mutual solidarity and the horticulturist's hourly wage. This system is called Solidaire Payment.

We divide the fixed costs equally for everyone. You choose the hourly rate yourself. This together forms the price of the veggie box. Choose what is feasible and appropriate for you. Want to know the in-depth calculations behind the costs? Read it here.

Super healthy

We do not use any pesticides and take care of the soil with organic fertilizer and compost. Because we do not use 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.

Collection points

We prefer the pick up at Ekoto's farm. At your request, a number of collection points have also been created at involved harvest sharers. At the packaging-free shop Elemental Eco in the Boschstraat in Breda, you can combine picking up the box with your daily sustainable shopping.

Become a volunteer

Of course you don't have to, but we are very happy with volunteers who come to help half a day a week. Coffee and our own Ekoto tea will be ready. It's mostly a good time. Registration is via the newsletter, that you will receive later on.
