Boerderij Korenblik is a biodynamic mixed farm and farm shop located in the countryside between Warnsveld and Vorden, bordering the Hackfort estate. The farm operates on the principles of circular agriculture and is fully SKAL-certified, meaning all products are grown without chemical pesticides or artificial fertilizers. In addition to vegetable, potato, and livestock farming, the farm features a separate, independently run organic flower garden called Plukkerz. Self-picking is available for soft fruits, which are a specialty of the farm. Strawberries and raspberries can be picked from mid-May until deep into October. The main strawberry harvest typically runs from the end of May to mid-July, while raspberries begin around June/July and continue until the first autumn frosts. These fruits are grown both in unheated tunnels and in open fields. The farm grows up to 40 to 50 different varieties of vegetables, potatoes, and fruit at the peak of the season, though these are available for purchase in the farm shop rather than for self-picking.
