ABOUT

Fruitslagers operates like a family business, brought together for taste and a healthy landscape. From our farm and 'Voedselstation' (production facility) in Culemborg we grow, forage and research ingredients, and process them into products. Just like traditional butchers, Fruitslagers works from nose to tail: every part of a crop ends up in one of our products. You will find us on the menu as a solution for soft drinks (Roze Bunker), as a plant-based alternative to a rib eye (Boonzaak), or as the alcohol-free alternative to a barnyard natural wine (Cul Sec).

Our goal is to make the Dutch landscape more diverse. That is why we work together with regenerative farmers with whom we grow, for example, traditional Dutch bean varieties for our Boonzaak tempeh, plant regenerative herbs for our Roze Bunker soft drink, and from whose food forests we distill complex flavors for our Field Guide non alcoholic spirits.

We learned to forage from our ancestors. Their age-old techniques are our greatest pleasure, and planted the seed of our search for new flavors and textures. And, thanks to the soft drinks from Roze Bunker, we’ve got quite some experience ourselves. In nine years, fields full of fruit trees and wild herbs have been planted, countless residual flows have been processed, and many clinking glasses full of sparkling (syrup) solutions have been served. In almost a decade, we have become well acquainted with the food chain and long-term collaborations have been established.

So it is time to expand our menu. By maintaining native crops as old wine farmers and by experimenting with foraged ingredients in our food lab, we have developed a regenerative menu. Also known as: a landscape full of flavor. Taste and restore the landscape!

Of course, such a website can't fit the entire cultivation plan, the production steps and all the collaborations. Would you like to know more? Then send an email to: info@fruitslagers.nl
