How to use the Guide. We have separated our guide into 2 sections: Food and Material. Each company featured in the book has the most attractive aspect on the top left, so you know what to expect.
Each entry is judged on:
Quality
Price
Service
Quality - The quality of the food/material. Price - How cheap are the things on offer? A time (eg. 1h) shows the ability to time-swap. You work for the set time and can take the remaining produce of the day. Service - The service/knowledge offered by the people working in the store. Useful if you need to buy something but have no idea how to work with it. 5 is high (good) 1 is low (bad) 7

Genneper Hoeve Biological food directly from the farmer out of this region, out of the belief that food should be tasty, healthy and sustainable.
Genneper Hoeve is a beautifull farm in the middle of the city that sells the products of the Foundation Eigen Erf. On top of that they make their own cheese, they get the milk from their own cows and sell biological meat. Plus it’s great to visit the park and farm. 11

Biolocial Market The biological market is a small market that offers everything for a consumer that wants to eat biolocialy. Bread, meat, eggs, fruit, veg and cheese. Everything is biolocical, 100% fresh and as much as possible self-produced. The meat place ‘ de Blije Big’ and the delicacy stand will both give you 10% off when you show your student card. To give you some extra encouragement to eat biological but also to make it more accesible for our mostly empty wallets. 15

Broodt “We put a lot of love and passion into our bread and hate to see it go to waste.�
It is possible to help clean at the end of the day in return for the leftover bread that was not sold. It is not always guarenteed and it needs to be arranged before, you cannot just turn up. If you would like to do this then send us a message and we will help to organise it. 19

Foraging - Nettles “I enjoy nettles as a vegetable side-dish with rice and beans. Much more satisfying than creamed spinach.�
Nature is a supermarket. When you know what you can eat, and how to eat it you start seeing it in a different ways. Stingy Nettles are found everywhere, all year round and make a great addition to your meal, after cooking for 2minutes the sting is gone and they are safe to eat. Wear gloves when collecting 21

Foraging - Chestnuts Last week I foraged Chestnuts for the first time with my sister from a tree near my house, we baked them and had them with mushrooms, spaghetti and pesto Chestnuts can also be found in many places, make sure you only eat the ones pictured, the ones with less, thicker spikes aren’t edible. After checking for defects and taking out of the shell you cut an x on one side with a sharp knife and bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes, peel of the brown shell and enjoy.

Foraging - Pears Behind the Effenaar I found a wild pear tree growing, I spotted it too late in the season and most of the pears had already been enjoyed by birds, but there is always next year Pears are attractive to birds, flies etc. Check them well before eating, if it looks fine but you want to make sure then you can always cook them in a pie or slice them, fry them with cinnamon and sugar and enjoy with blue cheese and honey on bread. 25

Foraging - Rosehips Rosehips are quite common and contain high levels of vitamin C, the pips are hairy and should not be eaten. You can dry them and use them as tea, make jam or medicinal tinctures for the cold winter. The most abundant source of Vitamin C-rich rose hips is from wild hedgerows and thickets. Here hips can be gathered in ample quantities for cooking and storing. You’d have to grow a vast number of garden-variety roses to get a sufficient quantity of hips for use all year long. As most roses have thorns, gloves are helpful although not essential when gathering hips.
