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.

U-pick farms in Gelderland: five worth a closer look

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

Boomgaard ’t Straatje lies between Zaltbommel and Gameren. Since 2015 you have been able to pick apples there, mostly Jonagold, around October. But: in autumn 2024 picking was only for people who had adopted a tree, and 2025 was a bad year because of the apple ermine moth. Whether open picking days will return is not clear. The orchard is also on a temporary site. Check the website first.

De Tovertuin in Epe is an organic self-harvest garden with around forty kinds of vegetables, from potatoes to yacón. You pay a fixed amount per season and come to harvest every week, from early May to roughly the end of October or November. Closed on Monday; Tuesday and Wednesday open from 8:00 to 20:00. Bram, the grower, is often around to explain things.

Bij ons in de tuin in Terwolde is on a sand track. Dahlias and zinnias, June through September. Open Saturdays only, 10:00 to 15:00.

Dahlia pluktuin op de Grenshof in Groesbeek is clear about prices: €0.80 per dahlia, €1.00 for the big ones. Sunflowers and pampas grass are €1.00 each as well. Open from mid-July through October, on Tuesday and Thursday evening (18:30 to 20:30) and Friday to Sunday around midday. Closed Monday and Wednesday. Free parking on site.

BioTulips & BioFlowers in Toldijk, between Zutphen and Doetinchem. The tulip picking garden is open daily in April from 8:00 to 20:00, for everyone. The summer flower garden (over 40 kinds) is for subscribers only. Peonies and dahlias you can simply buy in the shop.

Two of these five have just one review. De Tovertuin and the Grenshof have nine or ten, which gives you a bit more to go on.
