Een tomaat met een eigen karakter.

In the Westland region, brothers Eric and Leon Slaman of Kwekerij Westpoel grow Red Egg Mini. This mini vine tomato has a distinctive teardrop shape and is known for its intense, sweet and aromatic flavour. Above all, it is a product that allows the brothers to put their knowledge and passion for tomato growing into practice.

A family business with a long history

The family business dates back several generations. Eric and Leon continue that tradition in the Westland region, combining generations of tomato-growing experience with a clear specialisation in Red Egg Mini.

The tomato stands out not only for its flavour, but also for its shape and firmness. The fruits are grown on the vine and harvested only when the entire truss is fully ripe. This requires precision and extensive knowledge of the crop.

Specialising in a distinctive product

The brothers’ decision to focus on Red Egg Mini is a deliberate one. They see the variety’s combination of flavour, appearance and shelf life as what sets it apart.

They continually look for ways to improve cultivation. Biological crop protection methods are used wherever possible. The company also holds PlanetProof, GLOBALG.A.P. and GRASP certification.

Building a brand together

Red Egg Mini has become a recognisable product within The Greenery’s range. Collaboration between the grower and the marketing organisation enables this specialist product to develop further in the market.

At Westpoel, family history, specialisation and entrepreneurship come together, with Red Egg Mini as a product that clearly bears the brothers’ own signature.
