Taste the difference at Proef.

At Proef., it’s all about good food and knowing where it comes from. Organic fruit and vegetables that follow the seasons, dairy, eggs and meat straight from the farm, complemented by all kinds of delicious products from local makers. Think pasta, tacos, soy sauce, cider and kombucha made close to home. All in all: one big celebration of flavour.

Eating with the seasons

It’s actually quite strange that we expect to be able to buy and eat exactly the same things all year round, while nature has something different to offer us with every season. That’s why Proef.’s selection changes with the seasons. Not only is that more sustainable (because your courgette doesn’t have to fly here from Morocco in the middle of winter), it also makes for a more varied menu. In January, you might opt for leeks or kale instead: vegetables that can actually grow in the Netherlands during winter.

Do you like to be surprised? You can also pick up a weekly organic vegetable box, naturally packed with local produce from Tuinderij de WIJdehorst in Wassenaar or Boerderij Landzicht in the Hoeksche Waard.

Groceries with a story

Proef. wants to be more than just a place for your daily groceries. It aims to be a place where you discover the story behind what you buy, where the city and countryside meet, where neighbours and makers come together, and where you don’t just buy food, but truly taste it and get to know it.
