Agriculture plays a prominent role on Texel. From traditional sheep breeders to innovative and state-of-the-art salty cultivation. Many artisan craftsmen who use agricultural products to produce beer, whisky, honey and more call Texel home. Together, these farmers and artisans provide a rich and varied local cuisine making this Wadden island a gastronomical paradise. You can really taste this when visiting one of the restaurants that have made terroir into a speciality.
