Excursion: Tuinderij De Stroom
Take a little break from studying before the exams and join our excursion to Tuinderij De Stroom on April 21. This small organic vegetable farm is located in Randwijk, on the other side of the Rhine from Wageningen. They make 450 veggie boxes per week, which they sell to local consumers. Although their farm is small (1 ha), it is situated on the land of Ekoboerderij de Lingehof, with which they have a close working relationship. During the tour, the farmers will show us their garden, talk about their practices and together we'll learn about food systems transformation in small-scale agriculture. To pay the farmers for their time, we ask everyone to contribute €5,00 for the excursion. We meet at 13:45 at the bike parking at the Clockhouse in Wageningen, from where it will be a half hour bike ride to the farm. We expect to arrive back in Wageningen at around 16:45 at the latest. Is biking long distances a problem for you? E-mail to st.boerengroep@wur.nl and we can try to find a solution. The ferry ticket across the river will be included. Date: April 21 Time: 13.45-16.45 Meet-up location: Bike parking Clockhouse, Generaal Foulkesweg 37, Wageningen Costs: €5,00 More info on the farm: Tuinderij De Stroom – Biologische groenten en fruit
