Berns Nursery
At Kwekerij Berns, you get the white gold straight from the grower. Fresh asparagus, strawberries, soups and everything for a complete asparagus dinner.
Who is this a real getaway for?
For you, if you get a real kick out of genuinely good local produce. Not from a shelf where nobody knows anything about it, but straight from the place where the asparagus grows. Berns Nursery is great for home cooks, asparagus lovers, cyclists and anyone who thinks in spring: ‘Come on, today we’re eating white gold.’
When will you visit?
As soon as April arrives and the first asparagus are coming out of the ground again, the anticipation starts here. Just along the national road, take home the scent of fresh asparagus and start thinking about what goes with it: ham, egg, potatoes, sauce. On a sunny spring day, that's just gold.
What to expect.
At Kwekerij Berns, it’s all about fresh asparagus from Milsbeek and a passion for the craft. In the shop, alongside asparagus, you’ll also find strawberries, soups and handy products for your asparagus dinner. Did you know that the Berns family has been growing asparagus since 1961? You can taste it: craftsmanship, freshness and a good dose of pride.
Practical info
The nursery is situated on the Rijksweg in Milsbeek, nestled between the greenery of the Maasduinen and the fields where you can really feel the changing seasons. Parking is available on site and the shop is wheelchair accessible. It’s best not to bring dogs inside, as this is a farm shop selling fresh produce. Any dietary requirements? Just ask in the shop about sauces, soups and ready-made products, and you’ll go home with the right choice.

During the asparagus season, you’re welcome from Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 18:00, on Saturdays from 09:00 to 17:00 and on Sundays from 10:00 to 16:00. You can also place an order by phone or via WhatsApp.
Our tip for your visit
Ask for the asparagus roll in the shop. It’s one of those Berns specialities you’ll be keen to come back for. Pick up some ham, sauce and baby potatoes at the same time, and you’ll have a complete asparagus dinner on the table at home without any hassle.
Region tip: The icon in the neighbourhood
Combine your visit with a trip to De Maasduinen National Park. First, pick up some asparagus at Berns, then head out into nature at the Reindersmeer or the Mookerheide. Fresh air, sand beneath your feet and, back home, the ‘white gold’ sizzling in the pan. Also worth a visit nearby: the Mookerplas, the Mookerheide Estate and the Sint-Jansberg.
