A taste of the Stellingwerven

Agricultural farms once emerged along the Compagnonsvaart after peat from the Fochteloërveen had been transported away. When many farmers stopped farming at the start of this century, new small-scale initiatives emerged that combined agriculture, recreation and care. Onze Winkel is a prominent example. In an organic vegetable garden, produce is grown with the help of volunteers and sold directly in the local farm shop. The farm is also home to a petting zoo, a playground and safari tents for guests. The farm shop sells food with a face: products from local farmers and producers, each with their own story about origin, craftsmanship and conscious choices.
