Koningshof in Utrecht is a pick-your-own flower farm and urban agriculture project where visitors can cut their own bouquets from June to October. The flower field is open on Saturdays, with workshops on arranging seasonal blooms held throughout the season. You pay for your flowers at the farm stall, where prices are set per bunch.

The farm also grows vegetables in its greenhouses and allotments, which are sold fresh at the stall on Saturdays alongside local produce such as honey, eggs, cheese, and preserves. A small café serves coffee, tea, and light meals in the orchard during opening hours.

Koningshof operates as a community initiative, offering allotments for rent where members can grow their own vegetables under guidance. Harvest shares are available from late May to mid-October, providing weekly seasonal vegetables and herbs.

The farm is open from March to October, every Saturday from 10.00 to 15.30. Volunteers help maintain the gardens and orchards, and group activities can be arranged on request. Parking is available along the road, as the site itself has no dedicated spaces.

What visitors say

You can pick your own vegetables and flowers here, or just collect a pre-packed box if you prefer. The produce is fresh and organic, with most visitors calling it good value—prices are reasonable, and the quality is high. The flower garden is a favourite spot, where you can make your own bouquet for a small fee. There’s also a small café serving drinks, snacks, and ice cream.

The farm feels like a green escape on the edge of Utrecht, with a relaxed, community-focused vibe. It’s a good place to bring children, who can help pick or just explore. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the setup is simple: grab a basket, pick what you want, and pay by weight. A few visitors mention it gets busy on weekends, so weekdays might be quieter.
