Melktap Het Rode Huis

At Bloementuin Zwolle, just outside the city, you pick your own flowers from late May until the first weekend of the autumn half-term holiday, unless night frost arrives earlier. The field is certified organic and grows a wide variety of seasonal blooms. You pay by the stem or buy a strip card, subscription or gift voucher; cash and card are both accepted. The garden is open on Fridays from 14.00 to 17.00 and Saturdays from 10.00 to 17.00.

The farm also sells organic potting soil, compost and garden soil year-round through its website for collection on site. A small café serves coffee, tea and apple cake. Parking is available on the farm.

What visitors say

Visitors come for the raw milk, which you tap yourself from the 24/7 vending machine for €1.50 a litre. Bring your own bottle—there are none for sale, and the machine only takes cash. The milk is fresh and creamy, though a few note the lack of change as an annoyance. Alongside the milk, the farm sells organic eggs, cheese, honey, and meat, all praised for their quality and taste. The selection has grown over time, and most find the prices fair, though one visitor thought the eggs were overpriced.

The farm is a working biological dairy, and families appreciate the chance to see the cows and chickens. Some reviews mention friendly staff who take time to explain things, especially to children. A few visitors were disappointed that calves are separated from their mothers, but most focus on the fresh products and the convenience of the self-service setup. The location is easy to reach, and the farm feels well-kept.
