Eco Esprit is a permaculture project established by Sonja van Driel.

One of the sub projects is Food to Share. The aim is to collect surplus fruit, nuts and vegetables. The surplus food goes unprocessed to food banks or is prepared and then donated to social projects.

Eco Esprit has acquired an abandoned fruit orchard in March 2022. Its renovation includes saving existing fruit and nut trees, planting new ones and establishing a food forest.
