Who we are
About the farm
We are a third-generation family farm in Kerken on the Lower Rhine growing vegetables and fruit; the farm was founded in 1948. We grow apples on four hectares, sweet and sour cherries on 1.4 hectares and plums on one hectare, raise kohlrabi, pole beans and raspberries in our 4,600 m² of greenhouses, and make apple juice and apple sauce from our own apples. We sell our produce in our market hall (Markthalle) in Kerken from Monday to Saturday and at the weekly markets in Duisburg-Rheinhausen and Moers.

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.
