A family business with pepper ‘roots’
Frestia likes things that are tasty and healthy. Sweet peppers and tomatoes to be precise. With great passion and dedication, we grow snacking peppers, mini cherry tomatoes and sweet pointed peppers in the Netherlands and Portugal. We have been doing so for four generations. In 1920, the Zuidgeest family laid the foundations for our beautiful company, and in the seventies we were pioneers in growing sweet peppers. At Frestia, we stand on our parents' shoulders as their beholders. From generation to generation.
