At De Lytse Brekken in Follega you pick your own blueberries during the season, which typically runs from mid-July to late August. The farm is part of a small campsite and marina on the edge of the Frisian Lakes, with the blueberry field open to both guests and day visitors.
You pick directly from the bushes, using containers provided by the farm, and pay by weight. The field is accessible during opening hours, which are usually Wednesday to Saturday, 10.00 to 16.00, though exact dates and times are confirmed each year on the farm’s website. There is a small terrace next to the field where you can sit with coffee or tea after picking.
The farm also has a campsite with pitches for tents and motorhomes, a marina for boats, and a small beach on the water. Dogs are welcome. Parking is available on site.
What visitors say
Visitors come for the blueberries, which are plentiful and easy to pick—especially good with small children, who can also enjoy the nearby muffin stand. The berries are fresh, tasty, and not expensive. The farm is small and quiet, with a relaxed feel, though a few note it can get busy during peak season. Most find the owners friendly and helpful, though one family felt unwelcome with children and fishing. The facilities are simple but clean, with warm showers and no coins needed. Bring a bike to reach nearby villages, as there’s no restaurant on site. Some wish for more shade or seating, but most leave planning to return.
