Jan Janssen Fruit Farm’s website promotes blueberry self-picking and products.
Each year, from around mid-July, you can pick your own blueberries at two locations: De Bever (Beverbekerdijk) in Achel, Belgium, and at Bergbosweg 17 in Budel, Netherlands. Self-picking is usually possible daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
Besides self-picking, the farm also sells blueberry products throughout the year at their address in Budel. These products include juice, liqueur, wine, syrup, jam, and dessert sauce. The website also features information about the health benefits of blueberries and recipes.
The website contains news articles and a calendar of markets and events where they will be selling their products. It also provides contact information and details about excursions available by appointment.
What visitors say
A mixed experience is reported for this location. Some visitors enjoyed a pleasant berry-picking outing, highlighting the delicious berries, the beautiful natural setting with birdsong, and the helpful service. One family picked three kilograms and made jam, creating a taste of summer for the winter. However, one reviewer expressed frustration at making a wasted trip due to inaccurate information on the website regarding opening hours and berry availability at different locations, leading to a disappointed child and a significant waste of time and fuel. While other visitors enjoyed the affordable prices and helpful staff, the importance of keeping the website updated with accurate information is a crucial takeaway.
