SUPPORT YOUR URBAN FARMER
Chef Joris Lens (AUB SVP, Café De Markten) & urban farmer Tine Van Eyken (Bel Akker, Atelier Groot Eiland) will join forces. Every Friday and Saturday evening you can get a take out meal box in the heart of the Dansaert area. Vegetables and herbs from nearby urban farms are used in the menu. The farms are maintained by Atelier Groot Eiland vzw, an organization in social economy. Enjoy this local, social and sustainable initiative at home.

 

You can order the box by sending an e-mail to info@cafedemarkten.be before every Wednesday at 6pm. You can get the box every Friday and Saturday between 4pm and 6pm at Café De Markten (Oude Graanmarkt 5).
