Are you mad about fruit? If so, a visit to Zuid-Beveland is definitely worth your while. It’s no coincidence that the Netherlands’ favourite cassis uses only the best blackcurrants from here Epicurean Zeeland-Flanders has numerous local delicacies: the best brown beans in the Netherlands also come from this region. For quality wines, there’s no better place than Schouwen-Duiveland! This is home to one of the largest vineyards in the Netherlands. The best seafood can be found in the region around Grevelingenmeer and the Oosterschelde estuary.

Tholen is home to double-muscled cattle, the Oosterschelde lobster and new potatoes, so Tholen too has its own culinary highlights. What about Noord-Beveland? This region is known for the Rode Pipo (a floury potato with a slightly sweet flavour).

If you’re in Zeeland, of course, you’ll want to savour the most flavoursome of its local produce. Happily, Zeeland has countless farm shops, roadside fruit and vegetable stalls, apiaries, nurseries, as well as fresh vending machines and milk stations where you can buy fresh products.

'Lekkerder bij de Boer' is an app which has been designed in Zeeland and lists all farm shops and other outlets selling local products. You can do all your shopping from a farm shop or bike between shops and watch Zeeland’s landscape roll by from the comfort of your saddle. There’s always a farmer nearby!
