Production company

At Verhoeckx in Kerkdriel, near 's-Hertogenbosch, we ensure a supply of mushrooms and hard fruit of the best quality. That is why we are a certified supplier and work according to the regulations of quality and hygiene. This also applies to our own apple farm and the growers with whom we work. Within our company we operate as follows:

• The apples from our apple farm are harvested once a year and brought to our premises in Kerkdriel;
• Then the apples go through the sorting machine, which washes and sorts them by size. In addition, poor quality apples are removed. Then we store them refrigerated in our special, environmentally friendly fruit cooling cells. As a result, they retain their high quality for a longer period of time.
• The apples are packed and labeled for you in small quantities. Then you collect them from us or they are brought by under the right temperature.
