Anyone who thinks sustainability is only a thing in the big city hasn’t discovered Weesp yet. This charming town just outside Amsterdam is full of entrepreneurs who live and breathe sustainability — each in their own unique way. From professional tailors to locally grown products and more ethically sourced coffee: Weesp proves that small choices can make a big difference. Discover our favourite more sustainable hotspots in creative Weesp below.
Uysal’s Stomerij
Give your clothes a new life with clothing repair
Do you have a piece of clothing in your closet that you no longer wear because it needs repairing or cleaning? That’s a shame, because there’s an easy solution! For example, at Uysal’s Stomerij in Weesp, where everything revolves around extending the life of your clothes. This dry cleaner and tailor uses high-quality cleaning methods and offers professional repairs. Do you have a coat with loose seams or a dress with a stain that won’t come out? Bring it to Uysal Stomerij and have it professionally fixed instead of buying something new. More sustainable and better for your wallet!
De Kringloper
Large thrift store with secondhand treasures
Just outside Weesp, you’ll find a large thrift store full of secondhand gems at three locations in Hilversum, Naarden, and Almere: De Kringloper. These secondhand stores are full of surprises: from retro furniture to affordable, pre-loved clothing. By buying secondhand, you give items a second life and reduce the demand for new production – one of the most effective forms of more sustainable consumption. And who knows, you might just find that one unique item to complete your interior or outfit.
Gosling Coffee
Enjoy your cup of coffee in a more sustainable way
What’s a (more sustainable) shopping day without a good coffee break? Gosling Coffee is the place in Weesp for more ethical coffee with a story. They roast their beans locally and consciously choose to trade directly with coffee farmers. This way, you can be sure your cappuccino not only tastes good, but is also better for the planet. Going for a coffee to go? Don’t forget your reusable coffee cup!
Zorgboerderij Hoogerlust
Farm shop with local and fresh products
At Zorgboerderij Hoogerlust everything is about care, community and sustainability. This unique place combines local agriculture with social services, creating a welcoming environment where people can go for daytime activities. You can find fresh, locally grown seasonal fruits and vegetables, eggs, honey, jam and locally sourced meat. By buying local, you not only support a more sustainable food chain but also a valuable social initiative.
De Groene Griffioen
From the farm to your plate
Want to eat more consciously? Then choose local products! De Groene Griffioen is an organic farm where you can buy homemade cheese, milk and other dairy products – straight from the source. With their transparent production chain, circular agriculture and love for animals and nature, this farm shows how food production can be done differently. You can also get a glimpse into their work, as they regularly organize cheese workshops and tours. Bring your own packaging and go home without waste!
