Hoeve Meijer

The farm:

Adjacent to the Hoge Veluwe National Park is this authentic dairy farm, Hoeve Meijer, amidst the Veluwe thorax, sandy paths and moorland. Renowned for its hospitality, this is the ideal place to experience farm life from the past on your Gelderland glamping farm holiday. The farmer milks 25 cows in much the same way as 50 years ago with few large machines. It is perfect for children to see and experience up close.

Activities on the farm:

In the Gelderse Valley on the edge of the Hoge Veluwe National Park, this original-style farm can be found. A typical Veluwse farm, Hoeve Meijer radiates tranquility and hospitality and takes you back to the country life of years gone by. From the tent, there are far reaching views of the forest and farmland. In the summer, this environment is further enhanced by the sound of the many songbirds. The corn fields grown up to 2 metres high and provide shelter for animals. You may be lucky enough to see a deer. The corn is used for animal feed during the winter.

The original farmhouse was built around 1910 and cost 600 guilders at that time, in those days a large amount of money. Frits’ grandfather bought the farm from the first owner in 1950 unfortunately not for that amount! At that time, the farm had just 6 cows, 6 sows and 600 laying hens. When Frits and Jenny got married, they moved into the original farm.
