We have around twenty-five pick-your-own farms in Noord-Brabant. More than half of them have flowers. Then there are apples, strawberries, raspberries and a number of self-harvest vegetable gardens. A few farms have asparagus. We have no cherries in Brabant.

U-pick farms in Noord-Brabant: three worth a closer look

A note on this list: one of the three works with a subscription. It is on here anyway because of how much it grows.

Pluck van het veld in Cromvoirt, near Den Bosch, has the longest list in the province. It works through a subscription: from May to mid-December you harvest every week, 4 to 7 kinds a week in spring and 8 to 12 later on. The flower garden is open from late May to mid-October, also for subscribers. In spring there are tulips. Whether you can come without a subscription is not clear to us. Almost fifty reviews, all good.

Pluk Vrolijk in Almkerk: dahlias and field flowers from mid-July to the end of September. You park at the car park between Boompjes 4 and 5. Opening hours are only on their social media. There is a toilet and you can pay by card.

Pluktuin Forever Flower Crafts in Beek en Donk is at a care farm. Open Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 9:00 to 16:00, and until 12:00 in school holidays. So not at the weekend. Self-service, with scissors and rubber bands ready; pay in cash or by QR. It has one review.

If you just want a garden you can walk into without any fuss, look at the flower gardens in the full list. Those are mostly self-service.
