Welcome on the site
With this site, we intend to involve organic crop growers and other purchasers of organic propagating material in the ‘Pilotproject productie en afzet biologisch uitgangsmateriaal’ (Production and sale of organic propagating material pilot project) which is executed in collaboration with prominent Dutch nurseries and traders. The project is focused on a clear picture of the demand for high-quality organic propagating material from various countries, both within and outside of Europe, as well as the supply from the Netherlands. Hence the name Organicseeds.nl.
Use the contact page for any reactions to this site, for instance with a concrete request for organic propagating material for a certain type of vegetable cultivation, or for more information.
