U-pick farm Boomgaard 't Straatje

Zelfplukboomgaard ’t Straatje is a self-picking fruit orchard located in Zaltbommel. The orchard offers the experience of picking apples directly from the trees, providing a direct connection to the source of the fruit. The operation is set on a temporary plot of land, with plans to potentially expand to a new, more permanent location in the future.

Visitors can self-pick apples from the orchard. The primary picking season has historically been in the autumn months, particularly October. However, recent seasons have been impacted by challenges such as pest infestation, leading to reduced harvests. As a result, general self-pick days for the public are currently on hold. In 2024, picking was restricted to those who had adopted a tree. The possibility of resuming public self-pick days will be evaluated based on the condition of the 2025 harvest.

The orchard is open for these activities according to announced picking days, which are typically held in the autumn. It is advisable to check for specific dates and opening hours before visiting, as availability is subject to the season’s crop. The farm’s business status is operational. A collective vegetable garden operates on a portion of the land, seeking members to join in the growing season. The site is wheelchair accessible, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking available.
