As of 1 January 2026, Kwekerij De Westhoek will become part of our cooperative. The company, based in Maasland, has been growing yellow peppers for almost twenty years. Under the leadership of Robert Spruijt and Roos Varekamp, De Westhoek has developed into a modern 15‑hectare operation with a driven team.
De Westhoek focuses on sustainable cultivation solutions, such as geothermal energy and organic substrate. Step by step, the company is reducing its ecological footprint and contributing to future‑proof cultivation.
Roos Varekamp: “With Harvest House, we are choosing a strong cooperative founded by committed growers with future‑oriented cultivation companies. By working together on cultivation technology, plant health and packaging, we are building the future of our company and of salads cultivation.”
Hans Derks, Commercial Director of Harvest House BV: “With De Westhoek, we are adding a strong specialisation in yellow peppers to our acreage. A valuable addition to our strategy.”
