At Groene Pluk in Zeewolde you pick your own organic vegetables, herbs and flowers from May to the end of November. The farm grows around 30 types of vegetables, including familiar ones such as tomatoes, lettuce, potatoes and pumpkins, and less common ones like bimi, salsify and kohlrabi. The selection changes weekly with the season. You also pick herbs and edible flowers from the herb garden.

Groene Pluk works as a community-supported farm. You buy a season share, which gives you the right to pick a weekly portion of whatever is ready. The share costs between €395 and €475 for the season, depending on your income. One share is enough for one person or for a couple who eat from the farm three or four times a week. You can harvest from Wednesday to Saturday, 10.00 to 20.00. Each week the farm sends an email listing what is ready and how to pick it. You bring your own bags or baskets.

The farm also has a flower field where you can pick seasonal bouquets from June to mid-October. You pay per bouquet, either with a season share, a punch card or by the bunch. The tulip field is open in spring only.

Groene Pluk is part of Burgerboerderij Oosterwold, which has a farm shop selling local dairy, meat and other products. The farm welcomes volunteers and offers workshops on growing vegetables and arranging flowers.

What visitors say

Visitors pick their own organic vegetables, herbs and small fruit straight from the beds at this pluktuin near Zeewolde. The produce is fresh, varied and full of flavour—radishes the size of fists, sweet strawberries in clusters, and forgotten greens you won’t find in shops. Most say the weekly harvest feels like a treat, with clear flags and chalkboards showing what’s ready and how much to take. A few bring their children, who eat more vegetables after picking them themselves.

The farm runs on a subscription or pay-per-pick system, and while one visitor expected free tulips, the owners clarify that nothing is advertised as free. The atmosphere is relaxed, with pigs happily clearing green waste and a herb garden you can browse freely. Some weeks the choice is smaller, but the quality stays high.
