Stolk Brothers is the big winner of the Horticulture Entrepreneur Award 2024
Oesterzwammerij wins Theme Award 'Circular Entrepreneurship'
Stolk Brothers (Bergschenhoek) is the winner of the Horticulture Entrepreneur Award 2024. As the fourth generation, brothers David and Pieter Stolk are strongly committed to continuity, almost 100% organic crop protection and peat-free cultivation. Oesterzwammerij (Bloemendaal) wins the Theme Prize 'Circular Entrepreneurship'. With their new form of horticulture, they close cycles and permanently utilize flows that would otherwise be labeled as waste.
Marten van den Berg, Director-General of Agro at the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality, and André Kuipers presented the prize on March 6 in the horticultural area of partner Greenport Aalsmeer. The Theme Prize is co-organized by Greenport Aalsmeer.
Gido Oude Kotte, chairman of Greenport Aalsmeer, presented the Theme Award.
