Fresh from the farm: this is a Lower Rhine speciality you definitely have to experience. Fruit and vegetables straight from the producer, as well as meat and dairy products: regional delicacies, virtually fresh from your own garden. Just what you like to nibble on.
Nibbles at the farm
Countless farms between the Rhine and Meuse rivers sell directly to the consumer from lovingly managed farm shops. They ensure a very special shopping experience. Fruit and vegetables arrive fresh on the shop counter. Sustainable and healthy: this is what makes shopping so much fun. A basket full of authentic Lower Rhine moments awaits you.
Farm shops offer the right setting for shopping amidst nature. Flocks of sheep graze in surrounding pastures while chickens, turkeys, geese and ducks wander the grounds. Who wouldn’t want to purchase cucumbers and tomatoes, leeks and red cabbages, and apples and strawberries in such an idyll?
The Lower Rhine is home to all varieties of cabbage, but, of course, there’s also hearty bread, homemade cheese and delicious smoked sausage fresh from the farmer – regional produce from the countryside. After all, everything is fresh, including meat from animals reared on our farms. Naturalness is the clincher; seasonal and regional are the keywords.
And if small hearty dishes and freshly baked cakes are on offer at the farm kitchen, too, that will make the happiness of visitors to the Lower Rhine complete. Give it a try: tasty treats from the farm – you can taste the difference.
