Sjaak de Hoog has harvested the first cucumbers of the season. It's extra special this year, as it is his last season for the grower. The family business from Pijnacker has existed for more than 100 years, 25 of which Sjaak has been at the helm. But the greenhouses will be demolished in September and the cultivation business will end. What Sjaak's future plans are? That is not quite clear yet, but it will take more and more shape in the coming months. That it will be something related to greenhouse farming, he does not rule out, shares Oxin Growers, the cooperative to which the grower is affiliated.
Nursery J. de Hoog's cucumbers have been purchased to their full satisfaction for many years by Combilo B.V. one of Oxin Growers' trading partners.
