Groningen sits like a green oasis in the middle of some of the most fertile arable land in the Netherlands. The Groningen Ommelanden consist of heavy, rich clay soils that have yielded excellent harvests of grain, sugar beet, and increasingly soft fruits for pickers over many centuries. The open, wide landscape with its characteristic farms and deep ditches breathes a unique tranquillity that makes a visit to a pick-your-own farm a very special experience. From the Hogeland to the Oldambt: around the city you’ll find a surprising number of farms where you can roll up your sleeves and pick.
