De Jacobushoeve is a meeting place founded by Fons van der Laan. He realised that people these days have too few opportunities to socialise with one another in a relaxed manner. In the Kempen, this is known as ‘buurten’. Fons also felt that too many items (household goods, books, clothes) were being thrown away. He found volunteers willing to help him, as well as a usable farm. And so De Jacobushoeve – with its charity shop, garden, workshops and wereldwinkel – became a reality.
