Experience the unique charm of our orchard.
The Philips Fruittuin was founded in 1929 by Anton Philips as a job creation project. It is an orchard of no less than 12 hectares with apple, pear and plum trees. We grow the fruit with respect for nature.
Have you always wanted to know how fruit is grown? Then come and take a look behind the (wind) screens. There is always something to do at the Philips Fruittuin!
Guided tours for young and old... Fun and educational.
Come and enjoy the orchard at its most beautiful. In the meantime, you will receive extensive information about how we do our work and what is involved in growing apples and pears.
The tour can be booked from April to October (minimum 10 people).
Would you like a tour with your class? Learn how apples, pears and plums grow and what kind of animals live in the orchard. In September and early October, you can even pick an apple from the tree.
Apple picking days
During the Apple Picking Days of the Philips Fruittuin you can pick your own apples and pears. Straight from the tree, you've never had them so fresh!
When you show your ticket you will receive a beautiful bag that you can pick completely full. Afterwards you can enjoy a homemade pancake or apple pie in our restaurant or you can get started at home with your freshly picked fruit!
The 2024 picking days were a great success and are unfortunately already over. Keep an eye on our website and socials for the dates of 2025!
Picnic
Do you also love having a picnic, but it's actually just too much hassle? We arrange a great location and a lovely healthy fresh picnic basket! Please book in advance.
Treasure Hunt
Explore the orchard yourself and discover nature with our treasure hunt and games trail! Along the way, you will encounter fun challenges, from tug-of-war to educational games.
Workshop Pruning
Always wanted to know how to get your own apple and pear trees in line? Then join our pruning workshop. We will start the day with some theory and a practical demonstration, and later you will prune yourself.
