Family business since 1969

What began in 1969 with 1 grower has grown over the years to an arsenal of 110 acres where peppers are grown and packed in the most sustainable way possible. A big change, but what has always remained the same is the will to innovate and grow. The drive to deliver a quality product that is good for both “people, planet and profit” has been passed on to the current Grootscholte generation.

Craftsmanship and passion make 4evergreen a true bell pepper specialist. Bell pepper nursery 4evergreen is a family business and the knowledge, passion and experience has been shared and improved for 5 generations. Although locations, product and scale have changed over the years, innovation is still the biggest driver. We look ahead and invest in the latest (cultivation) techniques.
