U-pick farm `T Nije Eskes

Welcome to ’t Nije Eskes, a farm and garden located on the Sanderink family property at Holsterheurneweg 10 in Beuningen, Netherlands. The operation began in 2000 with small-scale production of jams, chutneys, and fruit juices, gradually expanding with the cultivation of blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, rhubarb, and various berry bushes. Strawberries are now grown in pots in cultivation gutters, and a dedicated plot of blueberry bushes was planted in 2009 for self-picking.

Visitors can self-pick blueberries from this dedicated plot. The farm is open for business, with a focus on selling its own produce.

The grounds are wheelchair accessible, with both a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking available. The farm is operational throughout the year, though specific open business hours are not listed. Please note that the site provides a contact telephone number for inquiries.

What visitors say

This charming self-picking farm is consistently praised for its exceptional range of delicious, homemade, and artisanal products. Visitors frequently highlight the superb quality and authentic taste of items such as their diverse jams (including standout blackberry and various fruit varieties), chutneys, and honey, often describing them as “regional gems” and “the best you’ll find.”

A significant draw is the popular self-picking experience, with many customers making annual trips in summer to harvest blueberries, filling buckets for weeks of enjoyment. The owner, Paula, who started the business as a hobby, receives high commendations for her warm hospitality, friendly demeanor, willingness to explain her products, and even offer samples, contributing to a welcoming and personal atmosphere.

Recognized as a local artisan treasure, the farm offers great value for its high-quality offerings and a delightful overall experience. Its reputation extends beyond the immediate area, with customers happily traveling from further afield, including the south, specifically for these unique, homemade goods. While generally highly recommended, it is advisable to call ahead before visiting.
