Almere is the youngest major city in the Netherlands, built on the Flevopolder — the world’s largest artificial land reclamation project and at the same time one of Europe’s most fertile agricultural regions. The rich black marine clay of the Flevopolder produces exceptional harvests of vegetables, fruit and flowers year after year. What began as bare seabed has grown into a farming paradise where organic farms and innovative fruit-growing businesses flourish side by side. Just outside the city you’ll find vast fields and pick-your-own farms that prove it: new land, age-old farming wisdom.
