What visitors say
This self-picking farm consistently earns praise as a friendly and enjoyable destination, particularly popular with families. Many visitors are drawn to its extensive selection of pumpkins and ornamental gourds, perfect for carving or decoration. The staff’s helpfulness and good advice are frequently highlighted, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere that encourages repeat visits year after year.
Beyond harvesting, the farm offers a variety of activities. The corn maze is a popular attraction, often described as a unique and fun experience, although some visitors note that it has become smaller over the years and adults are also required to pay. Children especially enjoy the play areas, including a bouncy castle, and seasonal activities like pumpkin carving workshops. The farm also hosts “Boerengolf” (farm golf), which provides amusement on its “lumpy field,” and a family bike tour, which, despite a route along a busy road, offers good value when purchased through deals. Other farm-grown produce, such as potatoes, is also available for purchase. For convenience, the farm offers tea, coffee, and refreshments at reasonable prices.
While the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, some visitors have offered constructive feedback. A few guests have noted a perceived lack of immediate staff visibility upon arrival. Concerns were also raised about the mandatory €5 per child fee for the indoor play area, which some found expensive, and mentioned that the area itself could be cleaner. Additionally, one customer commented that the potatoes sold in the farm shop were unusually small, challenging to peel, and priced higher than supermarket alternatives, though they acknowledged their good taste. The owner, in response, attributed the small potato size to extreme weather conditions and suggested cooking them with the skin on. It’s also worth noting that the farm operates on a cash-only basis, with the nearest ATM being a few kilometers away, and facilities are basic, including a toilet but no baby changing station.
Despite these minor points, the farm is widely regarded as a rewarding outing that delivers consistent fun and quality, leading many to consider it a cherished annual tradition.
