Information
It all began with Jacob Mazereeuw’s pioneering spirit. In 1938, he established ‘De Enkhuizer Zaadwinkel’, a shop that initially sold vegetable seeds, seed potatoes and legumes to consumers with allotments (plots for growing vegetables). After World War II, his attention shifted to professional growers of outdoor and greenhouse vegetables. It didn’t take our founder long to expand his trade with some distinctive products with unique features, that seamlessly matched the needs of his customers.
"At the end of WWII, I saw the opportunity to focus on professional growers. It wasn't easy, but we succeeded with the broad bean variety Ezetha's Witkiem. Growers quickly recognized the value-for-money of this variety, and as a result, trust in our company grew stronger and stronger."

From the very beginning, the impact of our company on the industry was undeniable. De Enkhuizer Zaadwinkel was founded with a focus on providing high-quality seeds for professional vegetable growers, both in fields and greenhouses. By working closely with growers and developing the best products, we contributed to the advancement of the agricultural industry. Initially local in scope, our curiosity and genuine interest in growers’ needs helped us grow into a preferred supplier with a global presence.
