De Jachthoeve in Wekerom is a pick-your-own farm with a fruit orchard and flower field. From June to November, visitors can pick their own fruit, including strawberries, raspberries, red, white and green gooseberries, red, black and blue currants, kiwi berries, honeyberries, blackberries, tayberries, boysenberries and plums. The farm also grows flowers for picking until the first frost.
You pick fruit directly from the plants and pay for what you take. The farm provides picking baskets, and scissors are available for cutting flowers. The fruit is also sold in the farm shop, along with homemade jams and dessert sauces made from the orchard’s produce. If you want a larger quantity, you can call ahead to arrange it.
The farm is open Tuesday to Saturday, 09.30 to 16.00, and closed on Sundays and Mondays. The farm shop sells seasonal fruit, jams, honey, nuts, apple juice, Bunzlau Castle ceramics and other local products. There is a café serving coffee, tea and homemade cakes, including apple pie and cheesecake, which can be ordered for collection. The farm also offers a “tea indulgence” experience with sweet and savoury snacks, available to book for groups or as a takeaway.
De Jachthoeve is a care farm, providing day activities for adults and elderly people with support needs. The farm has wheelchair-accessible parking and entrance.
What visitors say
The farm is a quiet spot where you can pick your own fruit—mostly berries and apples—though the selection depends on the season. In summer, visitors fill their baskets with ripe berries, but some note that if you arrive late, others may have already taken the best ones. The fruit is fresh and reasonably priced, and the homemade cakes, especially the appeltaart and cheesecake, get frequent praise.
The small café and farm shop are simple but pleasant, with friendly staff who help if you need it. The chocolate milk and warm drinks are good, though a few find the tea selection limited. It’s a relaxed place to stop for a coffee and a slice of cake, and the shop sells local jams, cheeses, and other treats. Some visitors come just for the food and atmosphere, not the picking. The setting is rural and peaceful, though the outdoor seating is better in warmer months.
