What visitors say
De Kikkershoek is a charming farm offering a variety of activities and fresh produce. Customers rave about the enjoyable experience of picking their own apples and pears, especially with children, and appreciate the reasonable prices. The farm shop is well-stocked with local products, including fresh fruits, vegetables, potatoes, eggs, and homemade apple juice. Many reviewers praise the friendly and helpful staff, who contribute to the welcoming atmosphere.
Besides apple picking, De Kikkershoek is a popular venue for children’s birthday parties, family outings, and team-building events, with activities like “boerengolf” and a “polderparcours.” There are also play areas for children with tractors and trampolines. The farm is easily accessible by car, with plenty of parking.
However, some visitors have noted concerns about the hygiene of the animal enclosures, specifically the chicken coop, and suggest improvements in this area. One reviewer also expressed disappointment with the apple picking experience, citing a limited selection of appealing fruit and strict treatment by the owner. Despite these concerns, the majority of reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with many customers expressing their intention to return.
