Kerstbomenkwekerij L.Coenders

At De Nieuwe Lind Kerstbomen in Horst you can choose a Christmas tree during the 2026 season, which runs from Saturday 28 November to Wednesday 23 December. The business continues a family tradition of Christmas trees that has been part of the local area for generations. Part of the stock is grown on the farm’s own land in Horst. Trees come in various types and sizes, including Nordmannen and Omorika’s. Nordmannen have dark green, shiny needles that hardly prick and remain on the branches longest. Omorika’s grow with a natural narrow, tall shape, so they take up little room, and are recognisable by their blue sheen. You choose the size that fits your living room. Prices range from €15.00 to €60.00 depending on the type and size. The farm is open Monday to Saturday from 09.00 to 17.00 and on Sundays from 10.00 to 15.00, but closed on Sunday 20 December.

Fruitboerderij (Görtz Fruit) in Baarlo is a family-run fruit farm that has grown cherries, pears, plums, apples and grapes along the Maas for over 150 years. From late June to early October, visitors can pick their own fruit during organised picking days. The farm grows morello cherries (a small, tart variety), Williams and Conference pears, mirabelle and blue plums, Elstar, Braeburn and Gloster apples, and small quantities of Auxerrois, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir grapes. Each fruit has its own picking window: cherries in late June and early July, Williams pears in mid-August, mirabelles and blue plums in August and early September, and apples from late August to mid-September. The exact dates are announced on the farm’s website and Facebook page a few days in advance, as they depend on the weather and ripeness.

At Fruitbedrijf Van Cleef in Belfeld you pick your own sweet cherries, apples and pears. The farm grows Elstar apples, Conference pears and several varieties of sweet cherries.

Outside the picking season the farm shop is open on Thursday afternoons, Fridays and Saturdays.

Pluktuin De Peel in Griendtsveen is an ecological pick-your-own flower garden and nature park on the edge of the Peel region.

You pick your own flowers using scissors provided at the entrance, where you also receive a bucket and instructions on pricing. Payment is by the stem or bunch, with options for cash or card. The farm also sells potted plants, including butterfly bushes, and offers gift vouchers for bouquets or workshops. Pre-ordered bouquets can be collected outside opening hours by arrangement.
