About

Fruitslagers like a family business, united by a love of flavor and a healthy landscape. From our farm and voedselstation in Culemborg, we grow, forage, and research ingredients, and process them into products. Just like traditional butchers, Fruitslagers work Fruitslagers head to tail: every part of a crop ends up in one of our products. You will find us on the menu as an alternative to soft drinks (Roze Bunker), as a plant-based alternative to entrecôte (Boonzaak), or as an alcohol-free alternative to wine (Cul Sec).

Ons doel is om het Nederlandse landschap diverser te maken. Daarom werken we samen met regeneratieve boeren waarmee we bijvoorbeeld traditionele Nederlandse boonsoorten telen voor onze Boonzaak-tempeh, regeneratieve kruiden planten voor onze Roze Bunker-frisdrank, en uit wiens voedselbossen we complexe smaken destilleren voor onze Field Guide <0.5 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
