Return to the times of the past. We let a piece of the past come to life on this harvest day. You can see the wanmolen, which separates the wheat from the chaff. Threshing machines thresh grain and corn. How to use a threshing flail? We chop straw. On the large lawn, tractors and various other machines steal the show. We bake harvest pancakes and make pots of coffee.
Harvesting used to be quite a job. First wait until the weather conditions are favorable. Then with all our might to bring in the harvest. The whole neighborhood came to the rescue. It was toil. A good harvest was of great importance, the existence depended on it. Harvesting was also a pleasant affair.
In the old courtyard is a cozy harvest market. You will find herbs, jams, pepper chutneys, flowers and decoration, herbs and syrups. Vegetables, fruit, information from Stichting Landschap Horst aan de Maas, of everything. Harvesting used to be good for the mutual relationship and atmosphere. Come and enjoy this special tradition.
There is plenty to do. The auction clock is running and there is cheerful music from Joekskapel Göt Net from Venray. Children can make a croquette. Are you coming too? It’s worth it!
