    Today

    After the takeover in 2017, Oakfield Champignons B.V. came to stand on its own feet again. The mushrooms are grown, packaged and transported from the one location in Stramproy. The production is transparent and sustainable and the supply is straight to consumer. In addition to the vast assortment of accessible, organic mushrooms, the company has also become the largest grower of exotics.
