# Boerschappen

> Boerschappen is a Dutch food platform and cooperative (coöperatie) founded in 2013 that delivers weekly boxes of seasonal, locally sourced groceries and complete meal kits directly from farmers and makers through a short, transparent supply chain.

Core topics on this site include: consumer meal boxes (Gemaksbox and Seizoensbox variants), the cooperative structure and company mission, sustainability and regenerative farming, local farmer and maker stories, B2B fresh produce supply, delivery and pickup logistics, seasonal recipes, and company news.
