We believe that every product has a story and deserves a second chance. That’s why we strive to find a purpose for any product that doesn’t quite fit the perfect picture. Think of products that might be slightly misshapen or smaller, while their taste and quality remain just as great. We ensure that as little as possible of value is lost within our supply chain. This is how the ‘Saved by Farmhouse’ story was born. Together with our partners, we continuously explore new ways to turn ‘waste’ into ‘wonder’. Curious to learn more? Read more…
Farmhouse International is committed to a sustainable chain from farm to fork. This starts with our growers, with whom we work closely. Growing products remains a natural process whereby products are harvested that do not meet the strict requirements in the food chain. Think of products that do not have the right shape or size, but are otherwise good in quality and taste. We are always looking for a new life for these products too, helping the grower as well as contributing to a more sustainable future for us all.
Take our Lemonsnack for example. This small, oval-shaped fruit resembles the kumquat, but with the flavour of a lemon. Our lemonsnack grower had product which was not suitable for the standard shelf. This did not stop us from looking for another alternative… And with success! The lemonsnack fits wonderfully well with The Lemon Spirit’s Limoncello. The entrepreneur is even in the running to win an award with this new, surprising flavour of Limoncello. Thanks to this sustainable innovation, we are contributing to less food waste in the chain and we are proud of that!
Of course, our other ‘wonders’ can’t be left out of this story! For example, we give our avocados that don’t meet the perfect standards a second life as delicious oil. The abundant harvest of our Tomberry® pearl tomatoes is put to good use by pickling them. We try to save every fruit; even the by-products of our sweet potatoes are not wasted, as they are transformed into crispy fries. These processes are not only good for the environment but also ensure we get the most out of our products.
