Who we are
About the farm
We run a family fruit farm and Landwinkel in Ossendrecht, just before the Belgian border; Louis Melsen took the farm over from his parents in 1990, in 1984 and 1987 we planted about 4 hectares of apples, pears and plums in total, and since 1995 we have also grown cherries. In our shop we offer vegetables and fruit from our own land and from local growers, dairy, cheese, meat and gift packages; there is a farm vending machine on the farm and a vending shop in Hoogerheide, and we deliver office fruit to businesses.

Write a review
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.
