What visitors say

Visitors pick their own organic blueberries at Pluktuin Beiketun, and most say the berries are delicious. The farm provides small buckets and plukschorten (picking aprons), so you can start straight away. Weighing and payment work on the self-service principle—you can pay in cash or by QR code. Children enjoy the activity, and the setup is simple enough for toddlers to join in.

The bushes are well-stocked, and the berries are unsprayed. A few visitors bring their own containers, but the farm has plastic buckets if you don’t. The price is fair, and the experience is relaxed. Some mention they’ll come back, though the season is short—once the best berries are gone, there’s little left to pick.
