Voorstee is the umbrella foundation for green initiatives in the Brandevoort neighborhood. As one of the initiators within Brainport Smart District, the foundation is developing a city farm in The district of the future: a multifunctional center for a social and sustainable Helmond.

New location

The community garden that the foundation laid out a few years ago in Brandevoort has already been given a new location in The district of the future. Residents of Brandevoort are already hard at work in the BSD office farm. The foundation also organizes activities here such as the Pizza Garden, where groups can bake their own pizzas.

City farm

Eventually, Voorstee wants to realize a city farm. The city farm is the inspiration and connection place for residents in the field of circular living. Brandevoort residents can come here for advice and can participate in a ‘climate adventure’ to become aware of the challenge we face as a society. In doing so, the foundation wants to give the climate transition a boost. The city farm will also be a physical meeting place, social workplace and connecting factor.
