Delicacies from the region

Get on your bike or go out on foot and be surprised by the Drenthe countryside. Before you know it, you'll find yourself at a roadside stall full of fresh fruit and vegetables from your own harvest. You might come across a milk tap where you can tap your own milk, or a farm shop brimming with farm cheese, creamy yoghurt, fragrant honey and other delicacies from the farmyard.

Sample on the spot (tip, bring a rug to picnic on the way!) or take something for later, to enjoy in the evening. Also nice as souvenirs for those back home.

Each farm tells its own story, from the work on the land to the passion for local products. This way, you not only discover the flavours of South-West Drenthe, but also the people who make it.
