Come and see where your vegetables come from! The beetroot and parsley in next week’s pack were grown at our supplier WIJdehorst. Before you get to work making them into a delicious salad, you can find out more about the origins of these vegetables. On 7 September, there will be an Open Day at WIJdehorst horticulture on the Land van Ons plot in Wassenaar. The WIJdehorst is supplying one of the vegetables in our pack almost every week this season, such as pointed cabbage, beetroot and carrot. The market garden is now one year old and has become a beautiful place full of flowers, herbs and vegetables. On the open day, there will be delicious tastings from the market garden, a green market from Land van Ons and WIJdehorst, fascinating speakers and guided tours where you will hear all about biodiversity and sustainable living. Coffee, tea and something sweet will be available on the terrace.
We hope you like this package again. Please don’t forget to change your status before Sunday 8 pm if necessary.

SAVE THE DATE: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF LEKKERNASSÛH FESTIVAL!
The announcement is for the Lekkernassûh Festival, celebrating its tenth anniversary on Saturday, October 5th. It acknowledges the contributions of volunteers and participants who have supported this initiative focused on promoting a fair and sustainable food chain in The Hague. Various activities will take place at multiple locations to celebrate these efforts and engage with community members involved in local agriculture and sustainability initiatives. Would you like to support us as crew on this day? Then sign up at bestuur@lekkernassuh.org: we could really use your help. Further details about specific events or programs are expected to be shared later.
Paying with Timebank hours
You 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. in 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.
