Field Guide non alcoholic spirits distill from different types of lush landscapes totally new flavor profiles, so that you can replace the classics from your old fashioned drinks cabinet with an alcohol-free alternative. And by doing so, Fruitslagers maintain lush forests and salt marshes.
Cul Sec is the alcohol-free alternative to natural wine. It combines old traditions of winegrowers with years of foraging. Terroir infusions of barnyard orange wine or mineral tones of oyster shell, combined with tannins of wine grapes and deep wood tones. Delicious with food, that one special evening or your Sunday lunch.
Roze Bunker - soft drinks as a solution - tackles sticky problems in the soft drinks industry. Foraged flavours from a wild landscape as an aperitif or a natural replacement for the sticky multinationals. Produced with regenerative harvests, fair business models, residual processing and good fruit.
With the Fruitslager menu, we make it easier to restore the landscape, for both the hospitality industry and consumers. Humanity is rapidly destroying biodiversity, the landscape has become monotonous, and native crops have disappeared from the business model of our food industry. Food has become destructive, while most flavors are hidden in lush landscapes. That’s why Fruitslagers are developing a cultivation plan that helps restore the landscape, featuring products such as tempeh made from forgotten bean varieties, alcohol-free whiskey made from peatland and salty plants, iced tea made from local herbs, and an alternative to natural wine made from organic grapes and flavors from the food forest.
Fruitslagers collaborates with a network of agricultural businesses to restore this landscape. These pioneers are spread across the Netherlands, working to rewild different types of soil.

Fruitslagers do not only restore land, but also the food industry as a whole. Often the leftovers of used products contain the most flavor. And that’s why we make a delicious syrup from hazelnut residues from Veld 4, we process our Boonzaak tempeh cuttings into a tempeh chili oil, and we withdraw the taste of wild herbs into a vinegar with Szechuan and elderflower. In this way, we close circles and create new revenue models for the regenerative food industry.
Roze Bunker produces soft drinks as a solution, and is the first product of Fruitslagers. For these soft drinks, we have been planting elderflower and wild herbs for years, which enrich biodiversity and create an additional revenue model for regenerative farmers.
