Landwinkel de Fruitgaard in Burgh-Haamstede is a pick-your-own farm where visitors can harvest fruit and flowers in season. The orchard grows apples, pears, cherries, plums and strawberries, with varieties including Delcorf, Elstar and Topaz apples, and Conference pears. The farm also has a pluktuin with dahlias and other seasonal flowers, as well as a vegetable patch with berries and blackberries.
Picking takes place during opening hours—Wednesday to Saturday, 9.00 to 17.00—from spring to autumn. For flowers, you cut your own bouquet in the pluktuin, pay by the stem in the farm shop, and take it home. Fruit is picked directly from the trees or bushes; you pay by weight. The farm hosts an annual apple-picking day in early September, when families can harvest apples and pears from the orchard.
The farm runs a small campsite with 25 pitches, open from April to October. Campers have access to toilets, showers and a play area for children. The on-site farm shop sells cheese, meat, regional produce and gift baskets, including organic goat’s cheese and beef from Scottish Highland cattle raised on local nature reserves. Bread and pastries from a nearby bakery can be ordered online for collection at the shop.
Landwinkel de Fruitgaard is a short walk from the centre of Haamstede, with nearby attractions including Slotbos forest, Gadrabos woodland and the Schelphoek nature reserve. The farm observes Sunday rest, meaning no arrivals or departures on Sundays.
What visitors say
Visitors come for the fresh, local produce—especially the fruit, cheese, and meat from Schotse Hooglanders. The farm shop stocks a good range of seasonal vegetables, homemade juices, and artisanal cheeses, with many praising the quality and taste. Prices are fair, and the selection feels carefully chosen. The pick-your-own garden offers flowers, berries, and vegetables, though a few note it’s mostly sunflowers and not always packed with variety. Kids can play on swings, a slide, and a small climbing frame while parents shop.
The staff are consistently described as friendly and welcoming, often going out of their way to help. Some visitors wish the campsite facilities were cleaner, but most focus on the shop and garden, calling it a pleasant stop for fresh, local goods. A few mention the location is a bit noisy due to nearby roads, but that doesn’t overshadow the experience for most.
