Decohof Kwekerij Overgoor is a biological certified nursery and farm located in Hoonhorst, Overijssel. The farm operates on the principle that humans, plants, and animals work together in a natural system, without the use of chemical pesticides or artificial fertilizers. On approximately ten hectares, they cultivate over 50 varieties of high-quality garden plants, hedge plants, and food plants. The farm also supports a self-harvest garden (Plukkerij) for vegetables and fruit, as well as a farm shop selling natural meat from the animals raised on the property.
As a self-picking destination, the farm offers a self-oogsttuin (self-harvest garden) where visitors can pick their own vegetables and fruit.

Opening hours for the general public are Saturday from 9:00 to 16:00. The farm is closed on all other weekdays for individual pickup, while wholesale and landscaping clients are welcome Tuesday through Saturday from 8:00 to 16:00. The business is operational year-round, though access may be limited during certain periods, such as early April due to study trips. The farm is wheelchair accessible and offers on-site parking.
