At Boomgaard “op Noten” in Terneuzen you pick your own apples and pears on two Saturdays in September. The 2026 dates are 12 and 19 September, from 10.00 to 16.00. You pay by the kilo for what you pick; the price is set each year. The farm grows Jonagored apples, Conference and Doyenne du Comice pears, and stoofperen such as St. Remy and Gieser Wildeman. A crate of pre-picked Goudreinet apples and Gieser Wildeman stoofpeertjes is also available.
Bring your own bags, boxes or crates. Payment is cash or by Dutch mobile payment app; there is no card terminal. The farm provides a free tractor ride through the orchard for children. Coffee, tea, apple juice and apple crumble cake are sold on a terrace.
From June to the end of October the farm also runs a self-service flower field next to the orchard. You pick your own bouquet of seasonal field flowers, paying by the thickness of the stems at the binding point. Prices start at €5. The field is open daily from sunrise to sunset. Scissors and buckets are provided, or you can bring your own. Payment is cash in a money box or by Dutch mobile payment app.
From September to the end of January the farm sells apples and pears from a self-service fruit cart on the premises. Varieties include Santana and Elstar apples and Conference pears. The cart also stocks honey, pumpkins and squashes while supplies last. Payment is cash or by Dutch mobile payment app.
