He has his own freezing facility for the vegetables.<\/p>\n

His son in law specializes in automation processes and has also developed a system to empty small crates of blackcurrants into big boxes.<\/p>\n

The delegates have been welcomed with typical Dutch food, all prepared by the Vermue family.<\/p>\n
