Who is Phood Farm, what do we think is important and what do we stand for? A green future, where the healthy growth of plants and people is central. We would like to take you into our world.
Healthy eating, sustainable farming in the city.
We produce hyper locally, using new technologies and an ecological system.
Our plants grow in different ways for different purposes. For example, within an Aquaponic care farm, we have one of the most innovative and sustainable ways of growing vegetables in places where it was not possible before. For example in (monumental) buildings, on roofs or in deserts.
In short, aquaponic farming is growing on water, where the nutrition comes from fish manure and is converted into usable plant food. The fish receive clean water from the plants in return, completing the circle in a self-regulating system. A very sustainable way of growing that uses up to 90% less water.

Sustainability is of paramount 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.

Phood Care. Working together, learning, growing!
The second aspect and a great passion of ours is growing people. We believe that everyone deserves a chance at happiness, health and achieving their dreams. And we are happy to contribute to that.
We do this by providing a place for young people with a distance to the labor market (or vice versa ;)). They can work with us, learn and grow at their own pace and develop their own skills on one of our farms. We call it ‘soul gardening’.
You can also contact us if you are reintegrating, for example after (or even before!) a burnout. We also say ‘From your hands in the hair to your hands in the earth’.
Why care and how do we do that?
In that respect we are a “social enterprise” or in plain English a social enterprise; in this case a foundation. We strive to bring people back to themselves in a natural way. And through gardening, both internally and externally, we support everyone’s unique growth. On the floor we work with specialized work supervisors, psychologists and Tai Chi and Chi Kung coaches to guide your personal growth. We also work together with professional healthcare institutions and partners in healthcare. Futuris and Unitio are our care heroes in this!

Meet the team.
Phood Farm was founded in 2019 by Sabine Feron, Tim Elfring, Liza Disselhorst, Robin Meulen and Roy Peeters . The five of them rolled up their sleeves and into the earth to (re)build a new “Phood standard,” each from his own expertise. With a heart for mother earth, a nourishing future, and a drive to bring people closer to each other and nature, this vision became reality seed by seed and more and more complete. The team now consists of 12 care participants, 40 of whom we have already mentored, 42 community farmers/shoppers and fantastic farm leads. Day by day, we grow ourselves and the world with pleasure and provide the city with the best, most nutritious vegetables and green the city with a purple edge.

A good connection with our partners is of great importance to us as a socially and ecologically oriented foundation. Without these great connections, the help we receive and the services we purchase, the challenge would be a lot bigger. Who are those hidden heroes?
