Soorten specials: Snoeptomaatjes Bellino 
Herman Adams is a tomato grower for Coöperatie Hoogstraten cv since 1984. Herman’s passion for horticulture was kindled at an early age. After his studies at the school of horticulture in Hoogstraten, he worked a few years in the family business, to become self- employed at the early age of 20.

He first started growing to strawberries, then loose tomatoes, to be succeeded by vine tomatoes in 1996. In 2005 Herman found his niche in the sweet plum cherry tomato Bellino, member of the Specials family. With that conscious decision, Herman chose quality over quantity and now only grows Bellino tomatoes at his farm. His business is small but excellent!

Running a horticultural business asks for good time management. Numerous activities take place on a daily basis: Staff coordination, climate control, crop and quality control, follow-up and delivery of orders, and random maintenance. Herman is a great fan of bicycle racing. On Sundays he makes bike trips of around 100 km. He also tries to run 10 km a week in winter.
