How do we work?
We are here
We prepare the baskets
at the facilities of the church Zout der Aarde. The baskets are distributed every thursday afternoon to the pick-up points. You can pick up your basket at the pickup point you choose during the order process. Each pick-up point has its own opening time frame.
Check on the interactive map for locations and times. We distribute in Den Haag, Rijswijk, Voorburg, Scheveningen and Leiden.
We are a team
of enthousiast individuals. We strive to fight food waste by giving a second chance to lost produce.
We think that healthy food should be available to everybody, regardless the financial situation. This is why, since Eco & Co exists, the basket price remains the same: only 12€ for 5kg. We are proud to share our left overs with the members of the church Zout der Aarde, in one of the poorest neighbourhood of The Hague.
