This week’s package includes lemongrass, a delicious, fresh flavouring for all kinds of dishes. It is often used in curries, soups and stews. Which dish will you use it to flavour? And here’s a fun fact: the stewing pears in the package were picked in Hekendorp by the helping hands of the Lekkernassûh community.
Good to know: From 22 October, the Toverbosch location will be at its winter location, Christus Triumfatorkerk, Juliana van Stolberglaan 154. Opening hours remain the same.
Don’t forget to change your status before Sunday 8pm, if needed. Enjoy!

News items
- Weekly diner on Wednesdays at the Gymzaal: We are very happy to bring back eating together! We are starting with a four week run to see how the interest is. The dinners will take place in De Gymzaal on four consecutive Wednesdays (29/10, 05/11, 12/11 and 19/11). Food will be vegan and nut-free and on a pay-what-you-can basis. More information will come in next week’s email.
- Eggs will change suppliers: You may have noticed that we sometimes receive white eggs instead of brown ones. From mid-October, we will no longer receive eggs from Hoeve Biesland (the brown ones with faces), but from Zwaanheuvelhoeve in Brabant. The eggs will also become more expensive, from 40 cents to 45 cents per egg. In the blog, we explain why this is happening.
- Experiment ‘solidarity’: Lekkernassûh is working on a fair and sustainable food chain. This includes making our healthy vegetables affordable for everyone in The Hague. That is why we start a new experiment ‘solidarity’ at location The Gym on October 15. How does it work? At the checkout you find small cards. One side it says: ‘Solidarity, I donate €2.50’. The other side says ‘Solidarity, I would like to receive a €2.50 discount’. As a participant, you can take this card at the checkout and show the side that suits your situation. You will show the donation side if you are willing to pay extra to allow for a discount for another person. The receiving side will show you when you need it because you’re falling short. We test this in the Gym from October 15th until November 19th . After this period we evaluate this experiment and decide about the next steps. Would you like to read more about the project and how you can contribute even more? Then read our blog.
- Winter location Toverbosch: Toverbosch will move to its winter location on the 22th of October. Adress: Christus Triumfatorkerk, Juliana van Stolberglaan 154. Opening hours will stay the same.
- 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.
- Pick-up points are on hold: We have enough cyclists for distributing the parcel, but we’re looking for a suitable transport bike and one or two persons to do the coördination. As soon as the pick-up points restart, this will be announced!
- Volunteering: Sign up to help at the Wednesday market via the market schedule. Or sign up here to help out at the package-free shop on Saturdays.- Curious about our vacancies where we need structural help? Check them out here.
