Stadsjochies

What Stadsjochies does

Stadsjochies operates an integrated farm-to-table hospitality and urban agriculture business from a 1.6-hectare site at Rijndijk 14, Utrecht, Netherlands. Founded in 2016 by Rob, the company operates three interconnected divisions under a single brand: the Kastaurant (greenhouse restaurant opened August 2021 serving seasonal multi-course surprise menus), the Urban Farm (cultivation operation growing over 140 different crops using four methods — full-ground, unheated greenhouse, vertical farm with solar-powered environmental controls, and permaculture tea garden), and the Kaswinkel (greenhouse shop selling homemade artisanal products via both physical retail and e-commerce).

The company generates revenue through four streams: (1) restaurant dining at €40-€94.50 per person for multi-course menus; (2) B2B sales of cresses, edible flowers, and tops to professional chefs at €7 per 50-serving portion, delivered within a 5km radius; (3) Kaswinkel e-commerce and physical retail of homemade oils, vinegars, syrups, teas, absinthe, and gift packages (€22-€33); and (4) event hosting for weddings, business meetings, and group arrangements. Customers include individual diners, home cooks, professional chefs, corporate groups, and event organizers, all served from a single Utrecht location.

The technology platform combines controlled-environment agriculture (solar-powered vertical farm), circular economy infrastructure (on-site Bokashi station converting green waste to soil nutrition), and direct-to-chef distribution. The business employs 11-50 people including two teeltmanagers, a chef-kok, sous-chef, and kombucha maker. Stadsjochies is privately held with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and operates exclusively in the Netherlands.

Direct peers

• Koppert Cress: World-leading B2B supplier of microgreens, cresses, and edible flowers headquartered in the Netherlands. Directly comparable as a same-segment competitor supplying premium cresses and edible flowers to professional chefs.
• Restaurant De Kas: Iconic Amsterdam farm-to-table restaurant set in greenhouses, serving seasonal menus sourced largely from its own farm. Direct analog to Stadsjochies' Kastaurant concept and greenhouse-restaurant positioning.
• Pluk Amsterdam: Amsterdam-based farm restaurant with its own edible garden, serving seasonal menus with a similar grower-to-plate story. Comparable in combining on-site cultivation with a hospitality offering.
• De Veldkeuken: Dutch farm-to-table restaurant concept sourcing from regional producers with strong sustainability credentials. Comparable in farm-led hospitality positioning in the Dutch market.
• L'Enclume: UK Michelin-starred farm-to-table restaurant with its own farm and gardens supplying the kitchen. Comparable as a fine-dining operation anchored by an integrated farm-to-kitchen supply model.
• Ballymaloe House & Cookery School: Irish farm estate combining a working farm, farm-to-table restaurant, and cookery school. Comparable in the integrated farm + hospitality + consumer product offering with a long-established farm-led brand.

Broad incumbents

• PlantLab: Dutch vertical farming technology company operating large-scale indoor cultivation facilities. Comparable on the vertical-farming technology side but at much larger scale and with a B2B-only model.
• Infarm: German/European vertical farming company operating in-store growing units and urban farms for retail and foodservice. Comparable in urban controlled-environment agriculture at much larger geographic scale.
• Daylesford Farm: UK-based organic farm combining a farm shop, restaurants/cafes, and cookery school under one brand. Comparable in the integrated farm-shop-restaurant model and premium sustainable positioning, though at significantly larger scale.

Emerging players

• Growy: Amsterdam-based vertical farm producing leafy greens and herbs for retail and foodservice. Comparable on controlled-environment cultivation in the Dutch market, though more focused on leafy greens than on microgreens/edible flowers.
