Lots of delicious things are grown and cultivated in the Noordoostpolderder. And the great thing is: you can often come and pick it yourself. Especially the apple-picking days in September and October are a feast for the whole family. With a wheelbarrow through the orchard and pick them! In autumn, for example, pay a visit to Vink Fruitboerderij in Kraggenburg, Verhage Fruit in Luttelgeest or Fruitbedrijf Masteling in Marknesse.
Fresh produce from the land is also widely available throughout the rest of the year. For this, you’ll naturally head to a farm shop, where they sell their own fruit and vegetables, as well as those from their neighbours. Local and fresh. They look forward to welcoming you at Renne Streekproducten in Nagele, Fruitbedrijf Hoekstra in Luttelgeest or Boerderijwinkel Versluis in Emmeloord.
You can also help with the harvest at Boerderij Groeizaam in Emmeloord: in July you can pick your own organic vegetables, and in September your own pumpkins. You can also pick your own flowers here in the summer. How lovely is that?! You can put together your own bouquet at Pluktuin de Zuiderkrib in Kraggenburg too. And if you’re lucky, the berries will be ripe for picking there as well. Let’s face it: nothing tastes better than something you’ve picked yourself, does it?! You can find all the picking dates in the Visit Noordoostpolder calendar.
By the way, did you already know that grapes are grown and wine made in the Noordoostpolder? At Wijngaard Maronesse in Marknesse, you can go for guided tours and wine tastings of their polder wines. Don't forget to pop into their farm shop after your visit, too.
