After completing his studies at the R.H.Tu.S. in Utrecht, Koos Groot started his cultivation business 40 years ago as a second-generation grower, building on his father’s work. It has since become a true family business: his wife Elvira takes care of public relations, and his sons Jan and Thomas are also active in the company.

The choice for TOLPOORT VEGETABLES was logical: shorter sales lines, better insight into pricing and open, honest communication within the organisation. This ensures that growers can get the most out of the market together.

In addition to farming, there is also time for relaxation. Cycling, cooking and following world politics are major hobbies.
