U-pick farms per province

Here you’ll find pick-your-own farms across the Netherlands, organized by province so you can easily find one near you.

From strawberries and cherries in summer to apples and pumpkins in autumn, each farm has its own seasonal produce and atmosphere. You’ll find fruit orchards, vegetable gardens, flower fields and herb gardens, often offering fresh produce picked straight from the land.

Browse the pick-your-own farms in your province and discover a great place to spend a day outdoors. Picking your own fruit, vegetables or flowers is a fun way to enjoy local produce while spending time with family or friends.

11 farms

Drenthe

We list around ten pick-your-own farms in Drenthe. Most are self-harvest vegetable gardens (carrots, lettuce, cabbage, pumpkin, that sort of thing) plus a handful of flower gardens. There is less fruit than you might expect: blueberries in a couple of places and apples here and there. You can dig your own potatoes too, but not at many farms.

A warning first. A good share of the Drenthe gardens work with members or a subscription, so you can’t just turn up for an afternoon. Below is what we know about each one.

12 farms

Flevoland

Flevoland has about fifteen pick-your-own farms on our list. That is not many, and they are far apart. The ones we mention below are near Zeewolde or all the way up in the Noordoostpolder. It is mostly apples and pears, flowers, and a few self-harvest vegetable gardens. There are strawberries and pumpkins too, but in few places.

A few u-pick farms worth knowing

Picking apples and pears in Flevoland is almost only possible on special picking days in September. Good to know before you find yourself at a closed orchard in August.

15 farms

Friesland

We have around fifteen pick-your-own farms in Friesland. A striking number are flower gardens, dahlias in particular. You can harvest vegetables in a few places; fruit is limited to some blueberries and strawberries. Most of the farms we mention below are in the south-east (Makkinga, Oosterwolde, Appelscha) or in the Wâlden area in the north-east.

Frisian picking gardens are small and keep short hours. Sometimes one morning and one evening a week. So check before you go.

53 farms

Guelders

Gelderland is the province with the most pick-your-own farms on our list, over sixty. Flowers are the most common, then apples, dahlias, raspberries and pears. You would expect cherries here too, but right now we don’t have a single Gelderland farm listed where you can pick them yourself. If you know one, tell us.

The province is big. Epe to Groesbeek is easily an hour’s drive, so pick a region first and then see what is open.

12 farms

Limburg

Limburg has a little under twenty pick-your-own farms on our list. Flowers, apples and pears are the most common, with plums and blueberries here and there. Limburg is known for its asparagus, but we don’t really have a place where you can cut it yourself. No cherries either. It is what it is.

The farms are spread from Griendtsveen in the north to Schinnen and Bingelrade in the south. That is over an hour’s drive apart. For one of the farms below we know very little, and we say so.

26 farms

North Holland

Noord-Holland has almost forty pick-your-own farms on our list. Lots of flowers, as you would expect, but also apples, pears, strawberries and a few self-harvest gardens around Haarlem. They are quite spread out, from Spierdijk to Loosdrecht.

Marja’s Bloemenpluktuin in Spierdijk has a short season: mid-June to August. Flowers, edible flowers, herbs for tea and some soft fruit. There is a stall with vegetables, their own honey and tea. Tours by appointment, for up to 10 people. We haven’t found fixed opening hours.

32 farms

Utrecht

For such a small province, Utrecht has a lot of pick-your-own farms: almost fifty on our list. Mostly flowers and herbs, a lot of pumpkins in autumn, and a fair number of self-harvest vegetable gardens. Several are in or right next to the city of Utrecht and easy to reach by bike.

Boerderij de Oude Ruif in Stoutenburg, near Amersfoort, is a fifth-generation family farm. The harvest garden is new. There are redcurrants, raspberries, blackberries and blackcurrants, and also less common things: Japanese wineberry, tayberry, honeyberry, jostaberry. The honeyberries ripen first, in late May. The apple, pear and plum trees are still young, so don’t count on those yet. The first season ran until the end of September. You can pay by card.

18 farms

Zeeland

We list almost thirty pick-your-own farms in Zeeland. Apples and pears come first, then flowers, and pumpkins in autumn. Some of the farms are on Walcheren, some in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen. The latter is on the other side of the Westerschelde, which looks closer on the map than it is.

Two of the four below belong to a campsite. That is very Zeeland.

CSA tuinderij Plantalia in Ritthem, between Middelburg and Vlissingen. Organic, and grown without animal manure. It is a garden for members with a harvest share. Main season May through November, with at least five kinds of vegetables per week. The list on our page is much longer, fifty or so, but that is counted over the whole year.

26 farms

South Holland

Zuid-Holland has just over forty pick-your-own farms on our list. Flowers most of all, then apples, pears, pumpkins and a number of self-harvest vegetable gardens. The farms we mention below are on the edges of the province: near the Westland, in the Hoeksche Waard, on Goeree-Overflakkee.

Weidetuin in Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel opened in 2023 and isn’t finished. There are plans for a food forest, beekeeping and a tea room, but those aren’t there yet. It is a biodynamic self-harvest garden for members, from early April to the end of November, with about 100 kinds of vegetables, herbs and flowers in total. Free parking. Four reviews.
