Leven in The Barn

🔥 MEET OUR TEAM – WENDY 🔥

If you've been to one of our markets, chances are you've already crossed paths with Wendy : she's kind of a legend around here ! 🤩 Her energy is contagious : super enthusiast, always laughing, a true team pillar, and the first to jump into team-building fun.

She joined us way back in 2018 as a vendor (yep, 7 years ago !) and made the leap to manager a few years later. Since then, she's been a total powerhouse. Starting in Etterbeek, she quickly stepped up to help launch new markets in St-Gillis, Jette, and Antwerp. Wendy’s now rocking it in Ixelles as a Bulk Manager and getting ready to bring the energy to Berchem – Antwerp for our next market launch this summer ! 🎉

Wendy’s a big fan of fresh and local products and she’s always excited to share her passion ! 🫐🥦🍓 She’s been hosting product trainings for our teams, helping everyone understand how we handpick the best products to offer.

So, what keeps her inspired after all these years? For Wendy, it’s all about the vision behind The Barn, the hands-on management style, and the fact that everyone here gets real opportunities to grow. 💬

Catch her between the nuts and veggies in Ixelles, or soon… for the opening of Berchem in Antwerp ! ☀️

🔥 Meet our team : Alexis 🔥

Starting his journey as Manager of the Bulk Zone at The Barn Etterbeek, Alexis Lambinon brought with him an incredible mix of energy, positivity, and skills that made him stand out right away.

🎯 Fast forward to today, and Alexis has taken the reins as Store Manager at our Auderghem market. With his laid-back vibe and the warm atmosphere he fosters, Alexis is the perfect embodiment of “staying chill” while getting things done ! His proactive approach and talent for driving positive change make him an inspiring force.

✨ Whether he’s coaching his volleyball team or leading the Auderghem crew, Alexis is all about teamwork and motivation. His passion for coaching translates seamlessly into the workplace, where he inspires and empowers his team to achieve goals.

😄 Oh, and if you ever meet Alexis, make sure to ask about his legendary seagull joke. It’s guaranteed to leave you smiling! 🐦

Alexis is proof that great leadership is all about balance: keeping it cool, staying focused, and uplifting everyone around him. 😎

We kicked off our first training session of 2025 at The Barn : a morning dedicated to how we operate, the core values that guide us, and the actions we take to uphold them. From promoting accessibility to championing transparency and building a dream team, these values are the foundation of everything we do. 📸

A heartfelt thank you to each and every one of our customers. ❤️ It’s because of you that we can continue living this dream of offering sustainable and affordable food to as many people as possible, without ever compromising on fair pay for our producers. 👩‍🌾👨‍🌾

We’re looking forward to 2025 and everything it will bring. 🚀
