Graashoeve Amelte is a farm located in Drenthe, committed to sustainable practices, animal welfare, and traditional craftsmanship. The farm’s core offerings include natural meat products, such as Black Angus beef and pork, derived from animals that graze freely in local nature reserves. Fresh eggs are also available, sourced from their mobile chicken caravan, alongside raw milk and other dairy items.
At the farm shop, visitors can purchase the farm’s own meats and eggs, as well as a variety of organic regional products like organic dairy and cheese, local honey, craft beer, tea, coffee, and handcrafted salves. The farm also prepares homemade frozen meals, jams, and baked goods. A pleasant terrace is open during the summer, inviting guests to relax with homemade cakes and water kefir while observing the farm’s daily activities.
A distinctive feature of the farm is its picking and vegetable garden (pluk- en moestuin), which operates organically using a no-dig method. Here, visitors are welcome to self-pick fresh vegetables, various flowers to create vibrant bouquets, and fresh herbs. This garden is designed to be an engaging and educational space for families, allowing children to learn about cultivation and harvesting firsthand.
Beyond its agricultural products, Graashoeve Amelte fosters a supportive environment by offering day care and work experience programs for individuals aiming for personal growth and development, involving them in animal care and garden maintenance. The farm also hosts workshops, school visits, and children’s parties, often incorporating activities such as vegetable picking from the garden and egg collecting.
