Meet the Buyer x The Neighborhood Farmer
Our Meet the Buyer sessions are designed to connect passionate food entrepreneurs with potential customers, buyers, and/or category managers. Monthly, we invite buyers from all different categories of the food scene, like supermarkets, online retailers, hotel chains, wholesale, restaurant owners, etc. These sessions offer exclusive sales opportunities, feedback, and/or professional connections that you won't get anywhere else. In this session, we welcome De Buurtboer!
About The Neighborhood Farmer
De Buurtboer was founded in 2010, with the mission to deliver delicious, local and conscious lunches to companies in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht. They are working with suppliers who also want to make a difference: Not only on your plate, but also for the future of food and drink.
Requirements De Buurtboer
De Buurtboer is looking for vegetarian/vegan lunch products that hardly require any additional preparation. Think of:
- Spreads
- Toppings
- (Hot) meals
- Ready to eat snack products
- Drinks and sodas are not an option at the moment, but juices are.
