Delicious Plukgoed

Plukgoed machines in West-Brabant

Plukgoed brings apples on the market as a seasonal product. Flavor is the primary consideration for Plukgoed, and flavor is determined by the moment of picking, storage, and transport. This is why Plukgoed stimulates apple farmers to harvest apples at the right moment. The foundation installs Plukgoed machines in the orchards of apple growers, so that consumers can enjoy a delicious apple at any moment during the day.

Plukgoed apples

The Plukgoed apples are allowed to ripen in the sun on the tree for longer. Apple farmers wait until the flavor is perfect before harvesting! Storing them is difficult, however, so these apples are unsuitable for selling to supermarkets. So many apple farmers decide not to harvest these apples, which means that the tastiest apples are never harvested.

Such a waste! Plukgoed is changing this by bringing apples back to the market as a seasonal product. They ripen on the tree in a very natural way, spending all summer on a twig in the sun to develop the best possible flavor. Plukgoed is all about flavor, not about the looks.
