Our growers

This is where it all begins. With people who love their craft. Growing fruit with passion and respect for everything that grows. Fresh, fair, and seasonal. And you can taste it in every bite.

Craft with a heart

Our growers are at the heart of what we do. They grow with common sense and an eye on tomorrow. They test new varieties and farm ecologically. We only work with growers who can prove in black and white that their fruit is responsibly grown, from farm to fork. Fewer chemicals. More care for soil and nature. That’s how fruit should grow.

Sustainable to the last bite

100% responsible

All our growers farm sustainably. With fewer inputs and more respect for soil and nature. From tree to crate.

Extra sustainable

More than 25% of our fruit is PlanetProof certified. Leading the way in better choices for people, nature and climate.

Fair origin

Our bananas come from Rainforest Alliance plantations, where people and planet are both cared for. Tasty and fair.

Fresh from nearby

Most of our fruit comes straight from orchards in the Netherlands and Europe. We keep the chain short, without detours or unnecessary storage. Growers deliver their harvest fresh every week and receive a fair price for good work. Fruit that tastes good and feels good.

Our growers in their own words

“It’s a breath of fresh air to deliver fruit to Fruitful Office, where it goes straight from the tree to the end customer instead of taking detours. By working together, we can focus on growing more sustainable varieties and offer greater diversity, which is also good for the environment and biodiversity in our orchard.”
