Høbjerg Gartneri, Gårdbutik og Café is a lovely farm shop and café just outside Grenaa. From May to December, you can stop in for homemade cake, good coffee or a light lunch on weekends. In the summer, you can even pick your own strawberries right from the field.

You are not allowed into the inner courtyard of the actual castle as it is privately owned. However, you can take a lovely stroll around the park and get great views of the castle and the moat from there!
