Earlier this summer (and for the 3rd year running), Local2Local Talents, Local2Local & Grounded put out a call to our community (of Utrecht University-students and other young people) for Harvest Heroes: picking pears in William Pouw’s organic orchids in Schalkwijk, making a real positive impact on the environment, contributing to food safety and biodiversity..and getting paid fairly. 16 Heroes answered this call and from Aug 22 to Sept 10 they rolled up their sleeves / took off their shirts and got to work at the root of the food chain; harvesting organic pears.

Thank you all for your good work and positive vibes!
