Peeters asparagus farm
At Peeters Asperges in Helden, get fresh homegrown white, green and purple asparagus.
Who is this a real getaway for?
This is a great place for home cooks, cyclists and lovers of farm-fresh produce. You don’t come here for frills, but for good asparagus, a chat and produce that’s ready to serve straight away at home. It’s also a great option if you want to surprise someone with an asparagus hamper or a local gift.
When will you visit?
Be sure to visit in April, May and June, when fresh asparagus is sold daily. On a sunny spring day, Peeters fits perfectly into a tour of Helden and the countryside around Peel en Maas. Is it raining? Then simply pop in for peeled asparagus, soup and a tasty treat to go with it.
What to expect.
At Peeters, it’s all about the ‘white gold’ with a blue tinge. Johan and Esther Peeters have been running the asparagus farm since 2001 and sell asparagus directly from their shop in Helden. Did you know that, as well as white asparagus, they also grow green and purple asparagus? In the shop, you’ll also find asparagus soup, salad, croquettes, bitterballen, wine and local produce.
Allow 20 to 45 minutes for your visit. The farm shop is situated in a quiet spot on the Baarloseweg, with the village of Helden nearby and fields all around. You can pay by debit card or in cash.
When are you welcome?
According to the current listing, you are welcome on Mondays from 1.00 pm to 5.00 pm, from Tuesday to Friday from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm and on Saturdays from 9.00 am to 4.00 pm. The shop is closed on Sundays. Always check the shop’s own website before you set off, as opening times may change during the season.
Our tip for your visit
