Het Plukparadijs in De Krim is a pick-your-own garden where visitors harvest their own vegetables, fruit and flowers. The farm grows around 40 types of vegetables, including common varieties like lettuce, beans, carrots and tomatoes, as well as less familiar ones such as Swiss chard, turnip greens, winter purslane and black radish. There is also a selection of small fruit and over 40 types of flowers. The season runs from May to December, with the widest choice available in summer.

The farm operates on a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model, working mainly with subscriptions for a full season. Subscribers can harvest vegetables daily from May to December and flowers weekly from mid-June to mid-October. They are welcome to pick on any day except Sunday, between 9.00 and 19.00. Non-subscribers can visit during opening hours on Wednesdays (10.00 to 16.30) and Saturdays (10.00 to 12.30) to harvest vegetables or buy a single bunch of flowers. The farm also sells flower punch cards for five visits.

Vegetable subscriptions are priced on a sliding scale based on financial means: €250 (basic), €300 (average) or €350 (solidarity rate) per year. Children’s rates apply for ages 4 to 18, with a maximum of €300 per family. A flower subscription costs €150 for the season, or €120 when combined with a vegetable subscription. Single bunches of flowers are priced between €7 and €15.

The garden is wheelchair-accessible, with accessible parking available. Visitors are advised to bring their own bags or baskets and a knife for harvesting. The farm uses organic and regenerative farming methods, avoiding synthetic fertilisers and pesticides. It is run by Albertine Janssen, who started the project in 2022. The garden is currently one hectare in size and still expanding.

At Tuinderij de Hooge Oogst in Tiendeveen, you pick your own vegetables, herbs and flowers directly from the field. The farm operates on a community-supported agriculture (CSA) model, where members buy a share of the harvest for a full season rather than paying per kilo.

You visit the farm to gather your produce yourself, with the option to send someone else if you cannot come. The farm is open for picking on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, though exact hours are not fixed—visitors are encouraged to come when it suits them once familiar with the process.
