Food forest, kitchen garden, shiitake nursery and Stille Ruimte, in the heart of nature near Breda.
At De Meerberg, we work from a permaculture perspective: a landscape that grows and nourishes itself. Walk across the estate and discover the food forest, kitchen garden, water and rest areas, and the Stille Ruimte.
Beneath the old oaks, a vibrant ecosystem is developing. Fruit trees, herbs, shrubs, and climbers work together just as they do in nature itself.
The food forest is a place to walk, learn about permaculture, and see how rich a landscape can become when given the time.
The old shiitake nursery is coming back to life. Mushrooms, once a trademark of this place, grow on oak logs.
Beside it, the kitchen garden flourishes, with fresh vegetables and herbs that nourish the kitchen of De Meerberg.
A serene place where silence, breath, and movement come together. Ideal for yoga, meditation, or simply sitting and doing nothing.
The space extends outdoors: a hammock between two trees, a bench at the edge of the food forest, a place to slow down.
Working on the estate is possible as a volunteer, through day programming, or via a learning placement.
In the rhythm of the seasons, we care for the food forest, kitchen garden, and shiitake nursery together.
