🍏 Great news! In addition to the weekly vegetable packets, from 18 April 2025 it will also be possible to order a Lekkernassuh Bio-Fruit package for 10 euro. With this, we are making a new step in the sustainable food transition. So from now on, in this package mail you will read not only which vegetables are in the vegetable package, but also which fruit is in the fruit package. You order your fruit pack just like you order a vegetable pack, in your personal profile. From now on, you can indicate here how many fruit and vegetable packages you want to order. Of course, you can also just pick up a fruit package. You simply pick up a fruit package during the opening hours of your market. Read more about the fruit pack here.

Enjoy!

🍏 In next Wednesday’s fruit package you’ll find:

• Banana (Dom Rep),
• Orange (type Ovale, from InCampagna, a cooperative in Sicily),
• Two kinds of apples (Bellebio and Red Prince, both from Elshof in Dronten)
• One mango (Peru)
  
  NB: In terms of fruit, we are now a bit in between seasons, Dutch pears, for example, are no longer available. Unfortunately, organic fruit from the Netherlands is almost out of stock. Stone fruit from southern Europe is still some way off, which is why we opted for a mango.
  NB: of each fruit variety, we try to indicate the grower with an explanation of the variety. See explanation on our website for when no grower is mentioned.

Also for sale are eggs, apples, onions, potatoes, bread, cheese, and more.

Gymzaal open on Tuesdays : The Gymzaal opens its doors to the community. Join us between 10 AM and 6 PM for flexible work, socializing, enjoying tea or coffee, participating in activities, sharing a potluck lunch, being creative, and more. Our only rule is that you clean up after yourself before you leave. If you’re interested in helping out as a host so we can extend our hours, please email info@lokaalvoedseldenhaag.nl. You are warmly welcome! Find out more at this link.

Your help is needed!
Your weekly vegetable package is the result of the collaboration of many participants from the Lekkernassûh community. In the past weeks, we’ve been struggling to get enough volunteers for the Wednesday market. Can you help out? Sign up using the market schedule.

Webdienst vacancy: And with some urgency, the webdienst team is looking for new people! Curious? Check out the vacancy.

Paying with Timebank hoursYou can use your Timebank hours to pay for your vegetable package, but also, for example, cheese or products from the packaging-free store. You earn Timebank hours by, for example, helping on the market. Knowing more? Then look here.

Do you have a surplus of Timebank hours? Please spend them at the market or package-free shop, or (if you don’t manage to spend them all), please donate them to Lekkernassuh! Ater the summer, we have a big shortage of hours, because there are more going out than coming back in.

Package-free shop
The package-free shop is open every Saturday from 11 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. at the Gymzaal. Longer opening hours call for more volunteers. Would you like to help sometime? Register via this link. More information about the store can be found here.

Don’t forget to change your status!
If you want to pick up a package on Wednesday, your subscription must be set to ACTIVE before Sunday evening 8 p.m. And if you don’t want a package on Wednesday, your subscription must be on PAUSE before Sunday evening 8 p.m. Help us prevent buying too much; together we prevent waste. Thanks for that! Look here for more explanation.
