De Plek Werchter
At De Plek, it is committed to sustainable, small-scale organic farming, growing vegetables with respect for nature and the climate. By working bio-intensively, it is able to offer a wide variety of high-quality vegetables on a small piece of land, with minimal impact on the earth. It believes in the power of healthy and fair agriculture that is not only good for nature, but also for the people who work the land and enjoy its products.
Its mission is to create a community where connection, learning, and collaboration are central. It aims to develop De Plek into a unifying force in the region — a place where people of all ages and backgrounds come together to work, learn, and grow. It does this by organizing cooking workshops, providing a platform for social interaction, and involving volunteers and people with disabilities who are looking for meaningful daytime activities.
By continuing to invest in the project, it seeks to expand its impact. It aims to organize activities that further strengthen its role as a place of connection and inspiration.
At De Plek, it works towards a resilient future, where sustainable agriculture, social engagement, and community building go hand in hand.
