Island pasture lease & pea thresher
Den Burg, Texel
What this loan funds
Closing Texel's nutrient loop needs land in rotation and a way to harvest it. This loan secures a three-year lease on additional island pasture and funds a mobile pea thresher shared between the farmers, so more peas can be grown alongside the lamb without importing fertiliser. The extra acreage and kit let Dapper. scale its circular-farming peas into a dependable annual campaign. Backers earn a fixed dividend over five years, with bonus fractions in next year's pea harvest for early supporters.
Backing a farm is a real-world commitment. Here's what the farmer has flagged could affect this campaign.
- Weather & drought
- Lower yield
- Equipment failure
- Island logistics delay the thresher parts
The farm you’re backing
Texel sheep farmer Jan-Willem Bakker (De Waddel) works with fellow farmers Arjen Boerhorst and Klaas Lap to build biodiversity, circular agriculture, and local sales of genuine Texel products. The peas help close the island's nutrient loop and become real Texel pea soup, tied in with the island's lamb.
