De Aanzet & Natural Care

Organic supermarket with true prices

Since 1981, De Aanzet, which aptly translates to "the beginning", has been an organic and vegetarian store with as many local products as possible. In 2020 they became the first store in the world to adopt True Pricing. In addition to guaranteeing fair pricing to farmers and producers, a True Price includes previously hidden environmental and social costs, such as carbon emissions. Above all, De Aanzet is a cosy and inspiring store where you can also go for natural care products and craft workshops.
