Welcome to the
Phood Fa(r)mily

Who is Phood Farm, what do we think is important and what do we stand for? Een groene toekomst, waar het gezond groeien van planten en mensen in het middelpunt staat. Graag nemen we je mee in onze wereld.

Gezond eten, duurzaam verbouwen in de stad.

Phood Farm is an Aquaponic Care Farm and Community Farm in the southeast of Eindhoven. Here we grow vegetables, herbs, microgreens and mushrooms in a sustainable, ecological way, both indoors and outdoors. In the center of the city! Our mission is to keep the city healthy, which starts with what you sow, how you grow it and what you eat. We grow our products and deliver them hyper-locally, directly to the end consumer and companies that want to buy healthy, local and ecological vegetables directly from the ‘farmer’.

We produceren hyper lokaal, met behulp van nieuwe technologieën en een ecologisch systeem.

Onze planten groeien op verschillende manieren voor verschillende doeleinden. Within an Aquaponic Care Farm we have one of the most innovative and sustainable ways to grow vegetables in places where this was previously not possible, such as in (monumental) buildings, on roofs or in deserts.

In short, Aquaponic Farming is growing on water, where the food comes from fish manure and is converted into usable plant food. The fish in turn receive clean water from the plants, completing the circle in a self-regulating system. A very sustainable way of growing that uses up to 90% less water.

Sustainability is of the utmost importance to us, which is why we opt for hyper-local production in the middle of the city that delivers directly to the end consumer, without any form of transport.

Wat we niet binnen groeien, doen we buiten. Hand in hand met moeder aarde.

Phood Care. Samen werken, leren, groeien!

Het tweede aspect en een grote passie van ons is het groeien van mensen. Wij geloven dat iedereen een kans verdient op geluk, gezondheid en het verwezenlijken van zijn of haar dromen. En daar dragen we graag een steentje aan bij.

We do this by providing a place for young people with a distance to the labor market (or vice versa ;)). Zij kunnen bij ons werken, leren en groeien op hun eigen tempo en ontwikkelen hun eigen skills op een van onze farms. ‘Soul gardening’ noemen we dat.

We also offer a unique form of basic daytime activities where participants can immerse themselves in the relaxing environment of our sustainable farm. This daytime activity is aimed at offering meaningful time spent in which interaction with nature and the community is central. Participants will have the opportunity to help grow vegetables and herbs, and learn more about ecological farming practices. It is an ideal setting for those looking for peace, connection and a positive contribution to local food production.

Ook kun je bij ons terecht als je aan het reïntegreren bent, bijvoorbeeld na (of zelfs voor!) een burn-out. ‘Van je handen in het haar naar je handen in de aarde’ zeggen we ook wel.

Waarom zorg en hoe doen we dat?

Wij zijn in dat opzicht een “social enterprise” of in het gewoon Nederlands een sociale onderneming; in dit geval een stichting. Wij streven er naar mensen op een natuurlijke manier weer terug te brengen bij henzelf. En door middel van tuinieren, zowel intern als extern ondersteunen wij ieders unieke groei. Op de vloer werken we met gespecialiseerde werkbegeleiders, psychologen en Tai Chi en Chi Kung coaches om jouw persoonlijke groei te begeleiden. Daarbij werken we ook samen met professionele zorg instanties en partners in de zorg. Futuris en Unitio zijn hierin onze care-heroes! Wil je meer te weten komen over de zorgmogelijkheden die wij bieden? Klik dan hier en kom vrijblijvend een keer kennis maken.

Onze kernwaarden.

In this way we combine our love and passion for health in the broadest sense of the word: Emotional and mental health by facilitating care and growth for participants, volunteers, interns, community farmers and employees. Physical health by stimulating and actually growing healthy and responsible food. In addition, working in nature according to Tai Chi principles contributes to a healthy balance between body and mind. Our core values are:

The new Phood
Create Standard
By developing and pioneering local, innovative and regenerative (urban) agricultural techniques.
Fellow citizens
to connect

With Phood Farm we build a bridge between nature and people, between city and countryside, between now and the future.

Kwetsbare doelgroepen inspireren en helpen

We inspire and help vulnerable target groups to (re)discover their own strengths and qualities.

Meet the team.

Phood Farm was founded in 2019 by Sabine Feron, Tim Elfring, Liza Disselhorst, Robin Meulen and Roy Peeters . Together they rolled up their sleeves and started laying the foundation for a new ‘Phood Standard’, each contributing their own expertise. Driven by love for mother earth, a vision of a nutritious future and the desire to bring people closer to each other and nature, this dream came to life seed by seed and continued to grow. The team now includes 12 active care participants, with a total of 40 who we have already been able to reintegrate, 42 involved Community Farmers/customers and inspiring farm leads. Every day we work to grow both ourselves and the world, provide the city with the best, most nutritious vegetables and make the city greener with a purple edge.
