Who we are
About the farm
We farm at Helena's Hoeve on the southern edge of Hillegom, beside the Elsbroekerpolder, as the seventh generation of the Zeestraten family. Our Blaarkop cattle graze 30 hectares of the polder as a suckler herd (we stopped milking in 2005), and we also grow hyacinth, narcissus and tulip bulbs. In our farm shop, open six days a week, we sell our own Blaarkop beef, flower bulbs and cut hyacinths, together with organic vegetables, fruit, cheese, dairy, bread and Christmas gift hampers from producers in the region.

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.
