Today we take a look into the life of Henk, born and raised in Westland, an area surrounded by water. At Wim Peters Nurseries he fulfills the function of cultivation specialist as well as managing the water management. The latter is no coincidence. All his life he has been attracted to water and looks for relaxation there.

Water is very important to tomatoes. We should not take the water around us for granted but handle it extremely critically, respecting nature.

future

At Wim Peters Kwekerijen, we proudly look to the future - a future that prioritises preserving nature and caring for the social fabric around us.

We want to differentiate ourselves in the market by moving progressively towards fossil-free cultivation. We are going to work with nature to increase biodiversity and continue to seek ways of using water even more sustainably. We fully embrace our responsibility for exploiting the inherent value of our waste streams. We are also aware of our impact on the local community. As a result, local initiatives relating to education and healthy nutrition will occupy an even higher position on the agenda. In our opinion, this is the only way to safeguard our fine family tradition for future generations.

We strongly believe in continuing to do what we do best: growing delicious tomatoes. While we do not rule out further increases in scale, we will never compromise our tradition and culture to achieve this. We refuse to be pressurised into growing the business, and will only expand when we are ready to do so. Maintaining control over our own sales is a crucial aspect here.

Finally, we focus actively on following innovations in greenhouse horticulture. It is the progressive nature of this sector that makes us a leader in global markets.
