Freshness is in our nature
In nature, everything follows its own pace. Crops need time to grow and absorb nutrients. Once they're ripe, Van Gelder takes action. We maintain close contact with growers, both locally and internationally, to ensure that what you order today, is on your plate tomorrow. We focus on quality, ripeness, and the availability of seasonal and year-round products. Thanks to our partnerships with growers and over 70 years of experience, we have the highest turnover rate in the Netherlands, so you’re always working with the freshest products. Freshness is in our nature.

Over 70 years of experience!
Van Gelder Groente & Fruit is a true family business. It all started in the early 1950s when Leen van Gelder Sr. began growing Brussels sprouts on his own piece of land. The sprouts flourished, and the step to becoming a grower was made. Hard work and a strong entrepreneurial spirit have shaped us over the past 70 years, under the leadership of Leen van Gelder Sr.'s sons, into what we are today: The produce specialist with the largest assortment in the Netherlands.
