Organizacijos aprašas

De Kruiderie is a social employment project that wants to reintegrate people with limited opportunities and/or capacities (because of a handicap, psychiatric problems, social deprivation… ) into society by offering them a meaningful employment. The project consist of approx. 12 employees (equivalent of 5,4 full times). Depending on their capacities, they work a number of (half) days per week in the project. They are guided by professional job coaches and a trajectory coach who provides psycho-social support. The Kruiderie produces about 100 different biological herbs for culinary, medicinal and cosmetic use. In Spring (March - July), the herbs are grown mainly for sale to private persons. From June onwards we start growing herbs outdoors for our own processing (dried herbs, herbal syrups and ointments, oils and vinegars…) and the sale to external parties. During the winter months, we are mainly occupied with processing the herbs and with making and selling gift packages with herbal products. Sometimes we also accept orders from external parties. De Kruiderie also has its own little shop where the self-grown products are sold.
