Who we are
About the farm
In Hijfte (Lochristi) we have been growing indoor azaleas (Azalea indica) as a family business since 1978, now in the second generation, in some 22,000 m² of glasshouses and polytunnels. We grow 26 varieties from our own cuttings, including seven officially recognised varieties of our own breeding (e.g. Oase de Lo, Koningin Mathilde, Finesse); our plants carry the EU 'Gentse azalea' quality label. Most of our production is exported, but from October to the end of March you can buy our azaleas directly in our small nursery shop every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, or by appointment.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
