Pluk Wijhe is a developing orchard and food garden nestled in the picturesque floodplains of the IJssel river, located near Wijhe and conveniently situated between Zwolle and Deventer. This destination offers a blend of recreation and the opportunity to engage with fresh produce.
Guests can enjoy overnight stays in a private annex of a former farmhouse, which is equipped with a spacious shower, modern sanitary facilities, and a fully equipped kitchen. This accommodation provides a peaceful and private setting alongside the burgeoning orchard and food garden, complete with a picnic area and fire pit.
The farm is in an active phase of expansion. A 3000m² orchard and 800 meters of hedges were planted in the winter of 2022, and a 5000m² area dedicated to hedges and food plants is currently being established. The aim is to continuously plant new fruit trees and bushes, ultimately providing an abundance of delicious fruit for guests to harvest. The vegetable garden, which is envisioned as a mix of a food forest, vegetable patch, and fruit orchard, is also under development, with plans for visitors to be able to choose their own fresh herbs, vegetables, and fruit to enjoy on-site or take home.
Currently, visitors staying at the farm are welcome to gather their own fresh eggs from the resident chickens. The location also serves as an ideal base for exploring the surrounding Salland region, offering opportunities for scenic walks along the IJssel dike, cycling routes through charming villages, and short drives to the cities of Zwolle and Deventer.
