Natuurboerderij Plassendaal

At the edge of polder Waalenburg on Texel, Natuurboerderij Plassendaal combines organic farming with social care in a serene natural setting. Since 1995, this biologically certified farm prioritises nature by delaying grazing until meadow birds have fledged and postponing mowing to allow wildflowers to seed. Limousin cows enjoy stress-free lives with space to roam, organic feed, and natural veterinary care, while calves stay with their mothers.

As a care farm, Plassendaal offers meaningful daytime activities for individuals with intellectual disabilities or mental health challenges, supported by professional staff. Visitors can observe the stables from a viewing balcony, browse a small shop selling ceramics and art made by participants, and enjoy Texel biscuits with coffee or tea on the terrace.
