Origin
The Dutch organisation of horticultural and arable farming (LTO) of Heemskerk and surroundings had a meeting about the development of a new vison of the area. The idea of ‘Uitheemskerk.nl’ is born on this evening. A few growers had the idea to promote this area more because it is famous for its quality and diversity on horticultural products. This promotion started with a design of a trailer with text of ‘Uitheemskerk.nl’, names of the growers and a few typical products form Heemskerk. The truck is presented thanks to our partners at February of 2015.

Goal
There is not really known what is grown in the horticultural area of Heemskerk. This initiative is meant to focus more publicity on Heemskerk so that the growers and the products are better to be recognized and found for all our target groups. We hope to get you more familiar and interested in wat we grow, what we do and why we are doing this.

We think it is important to give more view to exporters, retail, florists and consumers about what we grow and who is responsible for all these products.
