Our motivation is high-quality food, not business.

Vegetables from Agrocrooh are more than just Bio
We grow vegetables full of flavour and nutrients, just as nature has designed it. During the growing process we respect natural cycles and revitalize the soil. The use of artificial fertilisers or biocides of any kind is unacceptable. The use of heavy machinery is also out of the question.
We are here to break the myths about Bio/EKO/organic vegetables. No certificate ever can guarantee real quality, but when the farmer shakes your hand, looks into your eyes and shows you how he grows the vegetables both of you are about to eat - priceless. In nature, there is no species called Bio or Organic and so we differentiate only between real vegetables and their artificial imitations.
Our philosophy
Nowadays there is a lot of debate in the world about the need for change. Yet it us - final consumers who posess the most powerful tool for creating a better future. It is called free will.
How we make decisions as consumers has a huge impact on the whole world. It seems exaggerated, but let us take the example of peppers. Usually there are two options on the market:
A
Buy an imitation of peppers, which are available year-round thanks to chemicals. It is grown in monocultural production, nutrition is supplied artificially and leads to complete soil degradation and water wastage. Let's not forget long distance transport and packaging of such a product. Fresh? No way!
B
Buy peppers from a local vegetable grower, grown without chemicals and in accordance with sustainable agriculture. Translated, this means it was grown in such a way that it is possible to do so in a given place indefinitely. As in a circle. Simply in harmony with nature.
"Vegetables as a wholesome and irreplaceable component of human nutrition mustn' t be produced with poisons, brute force and callous calculation." J.Šlinský
