Mertens Kerstbomen in Nederweert is a Christmas tree farm where you choose your own tree from the field or select one from the trees already standing ready. All trees are grown in the Netherlands. The farm grows five varieties: the Nordmann, which has thick needles that do not prick; the Frasier, a narrower tree with small needles; the Zilverspar, which has a strong scent and prickly needles; the Picea omorika, with a slender upright trunk; and the classic Picea Abies, available from 1.5 to 3 metres. You can buy any tree with or without a root ball.

You can reserve one or more trees to collect later. If the tree does not fit in your car, the farm delivers to addresses in and around Nederweert for an additional charge. Purchased trees can be wrapped in a net to make them easier to carry. The farm also sells the Easy Fix, a system that holds the tree upright in a stand, together with Easy Fix stands themselves.

The farm is a family business that has been running for over 25 years. It is open daily, including Sundays, from 09.00 to 20.30. The entrance and parking are wheelchair accessible.

Jan Janssen Fruitbedrijf

13.6 km — noord-brabant

At Pluimvee- en Fruitteelt Jan Janssen van Asten in Budel, you can pick your own blueberries from early July to mid-September. The farm has two locations: one in Budel, the Netherlands, and another in Achel, Belgium. The season typically starts in early July, though warm weather can bring it forward, as happened in 2026. You can pick blueberries daily during the season, and pre-picked berries are also available. You pay for what you pick by weight, and you can bring your own containers. The farm provides buckets, which are weighed before you start so you only pay for the berries. Picking is possible at both locations, and the farm is open from 09.00 to 18.00 every day of the week.
