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.

A selection of u-pick farms in Zeeland

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.

Bloemen pluktuin Essenhoeve in Cadzand is part of a small campsite on an arable farm. Summer flowers from July, every day from 9:00 to 20:00. The price depends on how thick your bouquet is where you tie it: from about €4 to around €10 for a big one. There is parking and a toilet, and dogs are welcome.

Camping Innerduyn in Biggekerke is an adults-only campsite with a self-service picking garden of 42 small plots. Sunflowers, zinnias, cornflowers, marigolds. From July to the end of September, sunrise to sunset. Pay in cash or by bank transfer. The 230-odd reviews are mostly about the campsite and not the flowers.

Charlotte’s Pompoenen in IJzendijke started in 1992 with dried flowers. From 1 September through 31 October there is a pumpkin trail with more than 400 kinds of pumpkins and gourds. Whether you actually take them from the field yourself or mostly look and then buy in the shop is not entirely clear to us. The shop is open Thursday to Saturday from 10:00 to 17:00 and Sunday from 13:00 to 17:00.

Cadzand and IJzendijke are in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen. From Middelburg you need to go through the Westerschelde tunnel to get there.
