A regenerative future for agriculture

We are a modern farming company with a strong foundation in sustainability. For generations, we have worked with respect for nature and the people around us.Our focus is entirely on arable farming, with attention to soil, nature, and biodiversity. We strive to maintain a healthy balance between productive harvests and long-term soil health.In 2022, we entered a new phase: our transition towards regenerative agriculture, a way of farming that not only prevents harm but actively helps restore nature. Step by step, we are shaping a regenerative farm that produces healthy, great-tasting food, supported by a strong and diverse ecosystem.

Sustainable agriculture

Our story begins in 1941, when Eduard van Puijenbroek started a farming enterprise on Estate Gorp and Roovert. His aim was to keep the workers of his family’s textile factory employed, guided by one simple principle: care for people and nature.

What began as a social initiative grew into a family-run business with a clear mission:
to practise agriculture that benefits the soil, the climate and society as a whole.

Today, we continue to build on that vision.
We are a modern arable farming company that has made the transition to regenerative agriculture.

Collaboration with our surroundings lies at the heart of what we do.
We exchange knowledge with farmers, researchers and partners, and we keep learning from practice. Our shareholder VP Capital supports us with expertise, vision and financial resources, helping us to increase our positive impact.

Since our founding, the wellbeing of soil and animals has always been at the heart of what we do. In our transition towards regenerative agriculture, we continue to make important progress in both. What once began out of necessity has grown into a conviction that has shaped our company for more than 80 years.

In recent years, we have anchored our sustainable course in a clear mission and a manifesto built on four core values – our guiding principles for creating lasting impact.

  • Impactdriven and regenerative
  • Financially secure
  • Local and together
  • Pioneering step by step

A tradition of sustainable ARABLE FARMING

circular agriculture VP Landbouw

In arable farming, we increasingly follow regenerative principles.

 Wherever possible, we work together with our surroundings – from local partners to research institutions – to share knowledge and develop new practices.

Our crop rotation plan is extensive, with a very wide rotation cycle. This means that the same crop is grown on the same field only once every six to ten years. This benefits the soil by supporting natural recovery processes and preventing soil depletion.

We also avoid or minimise ploughing, which helps preserve natural soil structures, biodiversity and carbon storage – all essential for healthy, living soils.
