Bloeiend Landlust is situated on a historic monumental farm in Alphen aan den Rijn, within the picturesque Groene Hart region. Once a traditional agricultural property, it has been transformed into a dedicated space for art, healing, relaxation, and personal connection.
The offerings at Bloeiend Landlust are centered around well-being and inner growth. These services include Reiki treatments, NEI-therapy sessions, and Cacao Ceremonies, which explore themes such as the Inner Child, Winter Solstice, Dreams, Full Moon, and Inner Fire. The location also provides a personalized “Bloei” (Bloom) program and creates custom mandala artworks. The available products primarily consist of mandala art pieces, prints, and T-shirts, which are sold through an external platform. There is no mention of agricultural activities or opportunities for visitors to self-pick any farm produce.
What visitors say
Visitors consistently praise this farm shop for its exceptional range of fresh, organic, and regional products. Customers particularly highlight the delicious cheeses, milk, eggs, vegetables, and homemade ice cream, often describing everything as “pure nature” and of superb quality. The homemade pineapple quark and local Bruno beers are also frequently recommended, alongside a wide selection of jams and juices. Many appreciate being able to obtain Kievit vegetable packages here too.
The shop itself is frequently commended for its cozy, authentic, and nostalgic atmosphere, evoking a charming sense of earlier times. The friendly and attentive staff, especially the passionate young owner who grew up on the farm, contribute significantly to the positive experience, making visitors feel welcome and eager to return. Many consider it their reliable source for healthy, biological produce, likening it to a small, healthy supermarket. Convenient parking is also available.
While generally met with strong satisfaction, some reviews note the shop’s limited opening hours, typically three days a week. There was one notable negative experience during a specific reopening event where a visitor reported issues with excessively loud music, unpriced items, and a perceived lack of staff attentiveness, leading to an unwelcoming atmosphere. However, this appears to be an isolated incident, with the vast majority of patrons highly recommending the farm for its excellent products and pleasant shopping environment.
