What visitors say
Hoeve Cultura is a delightful farm shop known for its high-quality, locally grown fruit. They offer a wide assortment of products, especially their own apples and pears, alongside delicious juices and syrups made from their own cultivated fruit. The annual apple picking day is a popular event, well-organized with activities for children like train rides, games, face painting, and refreshments. Customers consistently praise the friendly staff and the delicious, fresh fruit. Fruit picking is often cited as a fun activity, especially for children. The shop also offers other local products such as hazelnuts and the option to order fruit baskets. Some reviewers mention a smaller selection of regional products being available in the farm shop, but mainly focus on the quality and tastiness of the fruit, which makes it a regional standout. A former patron remembers fruit picking days of old. Some express disappointment that open days were cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic, with hopes for their return.
