What Bio Brass does

Bio Brass (Biobrass) is a Dutch organic vegetable company headquartered at Dodaarsweg 45, Zeewolde, Flevoland, Netherlands, founded by three collaborating farmers who believed cooperation yields better outcomes than independent operation. The company runs a multi-divisional platform of five business units: Biobrass Teelt handles cultivation across cauliflower, broccoli, celery, little gem lettuce, parsnip, and onions; Beetz processes cooked red beetroot (vacuum-packed 500g/250g and 200g/400g pouches) and sweet corn (2-pack); Boerz structures external investment into agricultural land; De Beleving operates a visitor center with demonstration fields for organic practices; and Thuiz, in partnership with HomeFlex, provides seasonal worker housing. Core technology is agronomic rather than digital — crop rotation, soil restoration, biodiversity enrichment, plus on-site short-chain sorting, processing, and packaging that consolidate quality control and supply reliability in Zeewolde.

Bio Brass generates revenue through B2B sales of fresh and processed organic produce to Dutch retailers, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Its go-to-market combines direct sales contacts (Commercie line 06-27170045) with retailer channel partnerships, including co-design of organic shelf categories and layouts. Production scales through the SamenTelers grower network, a cooperative of farms that allows expanded cultivation without soil depletion. The company holds Global GAP, Skal Biologisch, GRASP, and BRCGS certifications covering organic production, food safety, social practice, and packaging. On March 1, 2026, We Grow Organic was integrated into Bio Brass, consolidating vegetable operations and office staff at Dodaarsweg while beetroot processing remained at Winkelweg. Consumer reach is achieved indirectly through the Bietenclub (Beet Club) initiative, demo fields, newsletters, and LinkedIn.

The company is privately held with no external investors, parent company, or public listing signals identified. It employs approximately 10 people and operates only in the Netherlands, with an articulated ambition to make organic vegetables "the new normal" for healthy eating by 2033. Customer engagement is hybrid — primary B2B retailer relationships supplemented by consumer education and a land-investment offering through Boerz.
