We would like to introduce you to Hilde Van De Vyver. She used to work on her parents' farm (strawberries, pigs, cattle and arable farming), but since 2004 Hilde and her husband Alain have been growing strawberries themselves for Coöperatie Hoogstraten. Since 2010, she has also been growing kiwiberries for Hoogstraten. The kiwiberry is the ideal complement to the strawberry crop. During the winter months and in spring, the plants are pruned, mowed and tethered in succession. In the months of June and July, pruning takes place again, after which harvesting can take place from August through September. Hilde has a great passion for horticulture. With heart and soul she dedicates herself to her business, making sure that she makes an extra effort to grow delicious products. She insists on having a nice breakfast with her husband Alain and, in the evening, on relaxing in front of the TV or going for a bike ride. This healthy balance between work and relaxation ensures that, day after day, they find energy again to grow delicious strawberries and kiwiberries.
