Pluktuin ‘Plukken op de Zuiderkrib’ in Kraggenburg is a pick-your-own flower farm where visitors can cut their own seasonal blooms from June until the end of October. The fields are planted with summer flowers, including annuals and perennials, and from late June onwards, you can create your own bouquets. The farm also grows vlas (flax) and, during the season, offers berries for picking by weight.

You pick your own flowers using scissors and twine provided in the garden. Payment is based on an honour system: a price list and QR code are displayed on-site, and you pay according to the length of your bouquet. Children can join in with adult supervision. The farm is open daily during the season from 10.00 to 18.00, though opening times may change in very hot weather—check the farm’s social media for updates.

The farm has a small café, Zuidpunt T121, serving coffee, homemade cake, and light meals. It is open on Mondays and Thursdays from 12.30 to 16.30, and on weekends and holidays from 11.00 to 16.30. During these hours, you can also buy local produce such as dairy, eggs, honey, and preserves from a stall in the old cowshed.

Parking is available on the farm, and the fields are accessible for wheelchairs, with accessible seating and toilets. The farm also hosts workshops on flower arranging and seasonal events, including a tulip dinner in April and a harvest weekend in September. For groups or special occasions, private plukfeestjes (flower-picking parties) can be arranged, with tea, coffee, and cake included.

What visitors say

The farm feels like a hidden spot behind the neighbours’ gardens, where everyone can join in the picking. It’s a cosy, social place, though one visitor wished there were more daffodils. The setup is simple and welcoming, with no fuss—just the chance to pick what’s in season.
