Het Plukparadijs is a small-scale, self-harvest farm located in De Krim, offering visitors the opportunity to pick their own fresh produce. Operating on a 1-hectare plot, the farm cultivates over 40 varieties of vegetables and more than 40 types of flowers, all grown according to the principles of organic and regenerative agriculture, using organic seeds and avoiding artificial fertilizers or pesticides.
The farm primarily offers seasonal subscriptions for both vegetables and flowers. Vegetable subscribers can harvest from May to December, while flower subscriptions run from mid-June to mid-October. Both allow members to pick produce on weekdays and Saturdays from 9:00 to 19:00. Unlimited herbs are also included for vegetable subscribers, and various small fruits are available to a limited extent.
For those without a subscription, individual sales of vegetables and flowers are possible from May to November, during specific opening hours: Wednesdays from 10:00 to 16:30 and Saturdays from 10:00 to 12:30.
Produce available for self-picking includes a diverse selection of vegetables such as lettuce, beans, endive, bell peppers, tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, chard, turnip greens, winter purslane, and daikon (rammenas). The harvest season begins in April/May with leafy greens, gradually expanding to include pods, cabbages, root vegetables, and fruit vegetables. In addition, visitors can pick from a wide array of over 40 different types of flowers.
