Janmaat Plantenteelt is a multi-generational farm located in Bruinehaar, offering a vibrant array of seasonal products and activities. Visitors can immerse themselves in the experience of a pick-your-own garden, available for various crops throughout the year.
For self-picking, the farm features:
- Tulips: Typically available in April, however, the tulip pick-your-own garden will not be open in 2025. Farm stand sales are usually still an option during the season.
- Dahlias: From mid-August through October, a colorful dahlia pick-your-own garden invites guests to harvest their own bouquets. This garden may also include other seasonal cutting flowers.
- Pumpkins: In September and October, a dedicated pumpkin pick-your-own patch offers a wide variety of shapes and sizes for visitors to choose from.
Beyond the self-picking opportunities, Janmaat Plantenteelt also operates a farm stand where pre-cut bouquets of tulips, peonies (May/June), and dahlias are available, alongside pumpkins and other decorative items. Peonies, however, are exclusively sold at the farm stand and are not available for self-picking. The farm also sells dahlia tubers in the spring.
The farm extends its offerings to include engaging wood-burning workshops, suitable for individuals and groups. It’s also a destination for company outings and other group events, featuring farm-themed games like “clog golf,” a giant goose game, and farm bingo, as well as nature walks and guided farm tours. For those seeking tranquility, “De Merel” provides a unique space for relaxation and inspiration amidst nature. The farm emphasizes sustainability and a passion for nature, inviting guests to enjoy the rural beauty and their carefully cultivated products. Additionally, the farm serves as a collection point for clothing donations to support projects in Eastern Europe.
