From city life to highly productive Market Garden outside of Amsterdam (Fabio Vicino)

This week, I meet with Fabio Vicino. Together with his partner Anna de Vos, they are managing a highly productive small scale Market Garden just outside of Amsterdam - Onze Groenteboer. Fabio’s journey from a high-pressure marketing career to becoming an organic grower is nothing short of inspiring. It’s a story of personal resilience, deep connection to the land, and a passion for creating a regenerative food system.What’s truly special about Fabio and Anna’s story is how they’ve managed to turn a small plot of land into a vibrant, biodiverse ecosystem that not only feeds their community with organic food but also fosters a deep sense of connection and healing. Fabio shares the ups and downs of this journey—from the struggle to find the right piece of land to the daily challenges of market gardening—offering insights that are both practical and deeply personal.Anna, the driving force behind the daily operations at Onze Groenteboer, has been instrumental in making this vision a reality. Her dedication and hands-on expertise have transformed the garden into a flourishing example of what’s possible when we prioritize biodiversity, sustainability, and community in our food systems.If you’re passionate about organic food, curious about how small-scale farming can be a powerful climate change solution, or just looking for a story that blends human resilience with environmental regeneration, this episode is for you. Fabio and Anna’s journey is a beautiful reminder that with determination and a bit of creativity, we can all contribute to a healthier, more sustainable world—one vegetable at a time.Tune in, get inspired, and maybe even start dreaming about your own little piece of land!⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯This podcast was produced in partnership with Soil Capital, a company that supports #regenerativeagriculture by financially rewarding farmers who improve soil health.Please help me grow the Deep Seed podcast by1. clicking the ‘follow’ button (Spotify / Apple Podcast)2. leaving a 5⭐️ reviewThank you 🙏⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Useful links:Onze Groenteboer - https://onzegroenteboer.nl/Soil Capital - https://www.soilcapital.com/Follow Us: Stay connected with us on social media for the latest updates and behind-the-scenes content.Instagram: @deep_seed_podcastLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/deep-seedEmail - [email protected] by Ausha.
