For this, a 2,25 hectare greenhouse in Poeldijk was purchased. In 2018, a second greenhouse was rented in Naaldwijk. This greenhouse had an area of 4,2 hectares, completing Kwekerij het Westland as we know it now. In the two greenhouses, 30 employees are working to create the perfect combination of 3 colours of point peppers.
In 2011, the company started growing cucumbers at a rental location in Wateringen, starting in 2012 with the cultivation of pointed peppers, and later expanded with a rental location in sample. The location in Poeldijk was purchased in 2016.

Location manager
Thimo van Marrewijk
Thimo has been working with Rainbow Growers Group since 2011. Before starting at Kwekerij het Westland, he went to agricultural school and worked in flowers, growing phalaenopsis & chrysanthemums. He’s proud that his employees and he are able to successfully grow three colours of pointed peppers at the same time, serving the entire market all on their own.
The cultivation
The greenhouses
At Kwekerij het Westland, we grow point peppers: orange and yellow ones at the Poeldijk location and red ones at the Naaldwijk location. All greenhouses use rock wool slabs and they both don’t use artificial lighting. Poeldijk uses the V-system, Naaldwijk uses the traditional system.
