Discover what Noord-Holland is great at!

Everyone knows that tourists from all over the world come to the Netherlands to admire tulips. But another fantastic export product is our knowhow and expertise in the seed industry, where the Netherlands occupies a leading position worldwide. The agricultural sector is growing and flourishing. The industry is known not only for its lovely produce, but also for advanced technologies and growing methods. At Holland Food & Flowers you can experience for yourself that Noord-Holland is the cradle of global food production. 

Food

The entire agricultural sector enjoys presenting itself to the public in an interactive and innovative style that makes the countryside come to life. At Holland Food & Flowers you can take part in flavourful workshops and wine tastings, or join in at demonstrations by top chefs from the region who love working with fruit, vegetables and herbs from our soil. Smell the fine fragrances, savour the specific flavours and admire the chef’s stunning combinations! Join us on a journey through the many surprises on the way from seed to final product.
