The makers behind our boxes: five Alkmaar crafts in the spotlight

18 July 2026 · 6 min read

Coffee roasters, distillers, bakers and chocolate makers. Meet the people who fill our hampers.

Alkmaar has a surprisingly rich maker culture. Behind almost every canal there's a workshop where someone is making something beautiful by hand. We seek out those places.

Take the roastery in Noord that runs small batches on a single machine from 1962. Or the distillery that uses herbs from its own garden to make a genever available nowhere else.

Working with small makers also means limited runs. That's why we place our orders well ahead of the season, so we can guarantee your hampers are genuinely filled locally.

Want to add your own product to a box? That's possible - we're happy to include it in the composition and add its story to the insert card.
