1. A bakery with potential

The building was a bakery for 80 years. We kept the ovens. They are now mostly used as very warm meeting rooms.

2. A flat country with great bikes

Our team rides to work, rain or shine. Rain, usually. Hens are waterproof by nature.

3. A nearby egg supplier

We buy eggs for the kitchen from a farm three kilometers away. They are delicious, and no, this is not a conflict of interest.

4. Come visit

Drop in on a Friday for coffee and stroopwafels. Please bring no foxes.
