At Wijnbergen Groenvoorziening in Kampen you pick your own Christmas tree from the nursery. The farm grows 8,000 trees on its land, ranging from 1 to 5 metres tall. You can visit the field at any time of the year to choose your tree; the farm tags your selection so you can return to collect it on a day that suits you, or arrange for it to be delivered to your home. Each tree is wrapped in a net for transport, and you receive a small gift when you buy.
From Monday 1 November you can buy or reserve a tree. The field is open Monday to Saturday, 08.00 to 17.00. On Saturday 20 December it closes at 15.00 instead. The farm is closed from 24 December until Monday 4 January. Parking is free, and both the car park and the entrance are wheelchair accessible.
What visitors say
You pick your own Christmas tree, and the staff dig it out of the ground and carry it to your trailer. The trees are of high quality and look beautiful. The people are friendly and helpful, and take plenty of time to give advice. A fire burns on site to get you in the winter mood, and you sometimes get free branches or apples as well. Going with your family to choose a tree together is recommended.
