This farm, Boerderij de Zuiderkrib, is situated in the rural landscape of Kraggenburg in the Noordoostpolder, offering a blend of agriculture, recreation, and a care facility.
A public flower and small fruit picking garden is open daily from July through the end of October. Visitors can self-pick various flowers, with dahlias being a notable mention, and cultivate small fruits like berries. During the summer, the garden hosts picking evenings and workshops, and custom flower bouquets can be ordered.
Beyond the picking garden, the farm features the “Koffieschenkerij T121” coffee and tea house, which is open on Monday and Thursday afternoons from April until the autumn holidays, serving fresh coffee, homemade cakes, and locally sourced teas. A farm shop also sells produce used on the farm, homemade items, seeds, cards, perennial plants, bulbs, and cakes. Farmer’s ice cream is available during the summer months.
For overnight stays, the farm offers a Tiny House B&B, two B&B rooms in a converted barn (one with adapted facilities), and camping in the meadow. The location also hosts various events and provides services like filled picnic baskets featuring regional products. These diverse activities are interwoven with Xtrakragt, a care program that provides supported work and day activities for individuals seeking to develop personal and vocational skills.
