Schevichoven
Schevichoven is a regenerative farm and learning-oriented agricultural project in Leersum, the Netherlands. The company presents itself as a place to prove that farming can be both regenerative and financially viable, combining perennial cropping, permaculture, and agroforestry principles with a practical business model. (schevichoven.nl ) Its farm model focuses on building healthy soil, restoring biodiversity, and spreading production risk through a diverse mix of crops. Schevichoven says it grows a natural forest-edge system with multiple layers of planting, no chemical inputs, and lightweight machinery, while also using the farm as a demonstration site to inspire others and share knowledge through tours and courses. (schevichoven.nl ) Schevichoven also operates as a platform for collaboration through Schevichoven Groeit, which supports other farmers and growers in transitioning toward regenerative agriculture and a more sustainable food chain. The company positions this work as hands-on partnership rather than outside advice, with support that can include implementation, financing, sales, and knowledge-building.
