De Ommuurde Tuin in Renkum is a one-hectare organic market garden where visitors can pick their own produce from April to December. The farm grows over 400 varieties of vegetables, herbs, edible flowers, and fruit, including strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and currants. You can also harvest fresh herbs and edible flowers during the season.

The farm operates as a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) project, offering weekly vegetable boxes from May to November. Visitors who join as “oogstdelers” (harvest shareholders) pay an annual fee and receive a share of the harvest each week, with the option to pick extra strawberries and herbs themselves. The boxes are available for collection at the farm or at pick-up points in Wageningen and Bennekom. Prices are based on a solidarity model, allowing members to pay according to their income.

The farm shop and café are open from April to October on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and the first Sunday of each month, from 10.00 to 17.00. The shop sells seasonal vegetables, herbs, fruit, and plants, as well as homemade jams, teas, and preserves. The café serves coffee, herbal teas, cakes, quiches, soups, and salads, all made with produce from the garden. Visitors can also pick their own flowers, strawberries, and berries when in season—bring your own container or use one from the shop.

The garden is open for self-service visits on weekdays, except during private events. Guided tours are available by appointment, and the farm hosts seasonal events such as plant sales, harvest festivals, and dinners. Parking is available nearby, and the farm is accessible by bike.

What visitors say

Visitors come for the peaceful, well-tended garden where you can wander among rows of flowers, herbs, and unusual vegetables—many they’ve never seen before. The produce is fresh, organic, and often picked on the spot, though some find the plants a bit pricey. The small shop sells seasonal greens, homemade drinks like kombucha and apple juice, and potted herbs, all grown on-site. Most people stop for coffee or cake on the terrace, where the atmosphere is quiet and relaxed, though a few mention the service can feel slow or unfriendly.

Kids enjoy the trampoline and open space, and the paths are fine for strollers, though those with mobility aids find them narrow. The garden is open only on Wednesdays and Saturdays from April to October, so check ahead—some arrive to find it closed. Opinions on the food vary: the salads and homemade cakes get praise, but a few say the portions are small or the flavours underwhelming. If you like the idea of a slow, nature-focused outing with the option to take home something fresh, it’s a pleasant spot. Just don’t expect a polished café experience.
