Have you always wanted to visit a Dutch farmer and see how they grow potatoes for your Lays? This is your chance! 

From the Sustainability & Innovation committee we are going to a Dutch farm named Agro Giethoorn in Giethoorn. This is one of the bigger farms we have in the Netherlands. They are one of the frontrunners concerning the principles of ‘Kringlooplandbouw.’ This means, amongst others that all the manure they produce is reused on the farm.

Agro Giethoorn has got 450ha of land, of which 280ha is used for potatoes, which produces 16 million kilos of potatoes. A large part of the potatoes are destined to become Lays, the famous chips brand! Next to that they have 115.000 chickens, which have the “De Goede Nest Kip’’ label. This means that the chickens have more time to grow, compared to the average.

On top of that, in order to close the circle even more, Agro Giethoorn uses a Green Gas installation. The installation can produce energy for 5.500 families. The waste heat is used for the chickens in the barns.

Do you already want to have a first look at the farm? Check out: Introductie Agro Giethoorn - YouTube

After visiting the farm we are going to Giethoorn, i.e. Venice of the Netherlands!

Here we are welcomed to another client of Rabobank. We will be going to Grand Café Fanfare, one of the famous restaurants in Giethoorn. Back in the day, one of the first Dutch movies ever was filmed there. It’s the second best movie ever to be played in the theaters! Here we'll be getting a boat tour with drinks and bites. When we come back, we'll have dinner in the form of a tapas buffet of Dutch Pancakes!
