B.V. Exploitatie Reservegronden Flevoland

Exploitatie Reservegronden Flevoland (ERF) is a Dutch private agricultural company that operates as the nation's largest organic farming business on approximately 1,000 hectares of reserve land near Almere, Lelystad, Dronten, and Zeewolde. Founded in 1996 through its parent foundation, ERF manages these soils for temporary urban development or continued agriculture while investing heavily in soil improvement without chemical inputs.

• Operations: The company cultivates roughly eighteen different crops on flexible land parcels located at city edges that can be transferred to developers or returned to owners upon request.
• Sustainability: By avoiding chemical substances, ERF prevents nuisance for neighbors and protects surface water while transforming previously barren soil into fertile organic ground.
• Industries: Its activities serve municipalities and other government bodies by enabling functional changes in land use without triggering unwanted speculation costs.

ERF acts as a pioneer in future agriculture by producing large quantities of food through economically, ecologically, and socially responsible methods across Flevoland.
