Personal Anecdotes:

In 1845, when Pieter Lindhout was 11 years old,  he went to work for the firm "P. Groeneveld & Zoon" in Noordwijk. Pieter worked his way through the ranks to become a "meester knecht" and in 1890 he became a partner in the firm. The name of the firm then became "Groeneveld en Lindhout" and still carries that name today.


The firm raises, handles and dries vegetables, herbs and flowering bulbs.


Three sons of Pieter Lindhout (Dirk, Pieter and Johannes Hendrik) worked and became partners in the firm.
