Who is this a real getaway for?
For anyone who loves farm-fresh produce, local specialities and a leisurely browse in a lovely country shop. Get together after a cycle ride, take your parents for coffee and vlaai, or pop in to pick up some asparagus for dinner. It’s also ideal for foodies who want to know exactly where their food comes from.
When will you visit?
Especially during the asparagus season, this is the sort of place where you’ll want to stop for a while. On a sunny day, you can settle down on the covered terrace. Is it raining? Then you can have a browse indoors amongst the asparagus, wines, local produce and gifts. Just pop in whenever you fancy something delicious from the local area.
What to expect.
At Martens, everything revolves around asparagus – carefully grown, sorted and sold. You’ll find fresh asparagus, products for your asparagus meal and a small menu featuring, amongst other things, fresh asparagus soup served daily. Did you know that the Martens family has been growing, harvesting, processing and selling asparagus for three generations?
Allow for a visit of around 45 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on whether you’re just popping in to shop or also planning to sit out on the terrace. Martens is situated in the countryside on Mackayweg, between Horst and Tienray, just under 3 kilometres from the A73. Parking is available at the shop.
