We Know Our Farmers
We work with local and organic suppliers, and we like to know where our ingredients come from.
Organic and local
More than half of what we use is organic or biodynamic, and more than 80% comes from local, fair suppliers. Our cheese, butter, meat and dairy are all organic or 3-star Beter Leven certified.
The people behind our food
Our organic cheese comes from Biokaas Kinderdijk. Our eggs are organic, with three stars from the Beter Leven label, from a dedicated farmer in Barneveld. We use organic farmers’ butter in our loaves and serve ASC-certified tuna from FishTales. For more than eight years we have worked with Livar, short for Limburgs Kloostervarken: high-welfare pork from a monastery in Limburg.
Calf-love
Our milk comes from Kalverliefde, a biodynamic farm where calves are not separated from their mothers at birth, but stay with them for their first three months. In 2023 we were the first chain in the Netherlands to serve it, and Wakker Dier now lists Lebkov among the companies that are doing well for cows and calves.
Coffee, by direct trade
Our organic coffee comes from Moto Coffee, by direct trade, so the farmers and the people who pick the coffee cherries by hand get a better price.
