Maastricht lies in the heart of Zuid-Limburg, the only truly hilly landscape in the Netherlands, where hills, valleys and fertile loess soils form a unique agricultural environment. The lime-rich soil and mild microclimate make the region exceptionally well suited to fruit growing: cherries, plums, apples and pears thrive here, and even viticulture has made its mark in the Maas valley. Asparagus are a traditional product of the Limburg sandy soils, and in spring you can harvest this white gold fresh here. A visit to a pick-your-own farm near Maastricht is an outing that combines culture, nature and flavour.
