Organic rootstocks for tomorrow's fruit growers
Mangnus Boomkwekerijen specialises in fruit tree rootstocks, both conventional and organic. We are one of the few growers worldwide to supply certified organic rootstocks.
The Mangnus family
Three generations - one farm
To this day the farm combines three branches on one yard: arable crops, fruit tree rootstocks — a large share of them organic — and veal calves. That broad base keeps us strong and keeps the work moving all year round.
Three generations - one farm
The Mangnus family
What started as an arable farm in Biddinghuizen has grown into a specialised nursery for fruit tree rootstocks — both conventional and organic. The fertile young sea clay of Eastern Flevoland was, and still is, the foundation under everything that grows here.
Mangnus Boomkwekerijen is today led by Patrick Mangnus, together with his wife Annelies and son Ward. Three generations of Mangnus have shaped the business: from founder Eduard senior to grandson Ward, who is helping to define its future.
