Who we are
About the farm
In Wijk bij Duurstede, between the Lek and the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal, we have grown rose hips for more than sixty years: the garden was founded in 1950 by Hans and Topy Moerkoert and has been carried on since 1988 by Emmelie Moerkoert and Eric Hees. From about 850 Rosa Alpina and Rosa Blanda bushes we hand-pick 750–1,000 kg of hips a year, on Sundays from late August into September, with volunteer pickers and a shared harvest buffet. With our own pulping machine we make frozen rose-hip purée for restaurants, ice-cream makers and brewers; private customers can buy it in 1 kg tubs, as well as frozen hips and rose-hip jam, which we also send by post. The garden can be visited from May to October by appointment.

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.
