“My great grandfather started the business here in 1870”, explains René. In those days it was a mixed farm. In around 1970, Rene’s grandfather came up with the idea of growing sprouts on a small scale. An added bonus was that he could feed the green waste to the cows. René’s father decided to focus solely on arable farming. When René and his brother finished school, they joined forces and focused on upscaling their sprout cultivation. Since then, the size of the business has increased tenfold. Today, René and his brother run the farm together, assisted by a number of family members.
