Red de pompoen!
€5 voor 25kg, en het is bio!

In Deftinge zit bioboer Guy plots met 20.000 kg pompoenen.
Dit omdat Aldi dit jaar besliste om over te stappen van bio naar chemische pompoenen.

📍 Hof te Muizenhole, Deftinge (Lierde)
📅 Weekend, 10–13u
💰 5 euro voor 25 kg pompoenen

Did u know? Moths are significant pollinators in our gardens. As they're often nocturnal, they've evolved clever ways of evading predators during the day. The Plume moth hides by folding its wings up like a concertina, so that it looks like a teeny twig, rather than a tasty bird meal. 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲🦋
