lambs lettuce - Discover U-Pick farms in the Netherlands

Picking lambs lettuce is a delight—whether you’re alone, savoring the quiet rustle of leaves, or with friends and family, laughing as you fill baskets with tender greens. The crisp, slightly nutty leaves are a joy to harvest, their vibrant green a promise of fresh meals ahead.

Once home, lambs lettuce shines in salads, soups, or as a garnish. Try it:

Tossed with roasted beets, walnuts, and a honey-mustard dressing for a sweet-and-earthy combo.
Wilted gently with garlic and olive oil, then topped with a poached egg for a simple, satisfying dish.

For something cozier, steep a handful of leaves in hot water for a light, herbal tea—refreshing with a squeeze of lemon.

Or mix up a Spring Gin Fizz: muddle lambs lettuce with cucumber, add gin, lime juice, and a dash of simple syrup. Shake with ice, strain, and top with soda for a herbaceous twist.

Decoratively, tuck the delicate leaves into a fresh bouquet for a touch of green, or float them in a bowl of water with candles for a rustic centerpiece.

Whether picked solo or shared, lambs lettuce brings a bit of the field to your table—fresh, versatile, and full of flavor.

Tuinderij ’t Wild is a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm located on Hustenweg in Rosmalen, Netherlands. The farm is run by Linda, who cultivates various vegetables without using artificial fertilizers or pesticides. The CSA model involves customers becoming “deelgenoten” (shareholders) by paying an annual contribution upfront. In return, they can harvest fresh vegetables from the land for their own use throughout the season, which runs from June to November. The farm provides information on what can be harvested each week, including quantities and harvesting instructions. All necessary tools and guidance are provided. A full share costs €300 (including VAT) for the season, providing enough vegetables for one adult to harvest 5-6 different vegetables per week. A trial share is also available for €60 (including VAT), allowing you to harvest for 4 weeks.
