Pluck van het Veld is a pick-your-own vegetable and flower garden in Cromvoirt, near ’s-Hertogenbosch. The farm grows over 70 varieties of vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers, all cultivated without chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. Visitors with a seasonal subscription can harvest their own produce from May to mid-December, selecting from a weekly list of available crops. The selection changes with the season, ranging from early greens like spinach and radishes to summer staples such as tomatoes, courgettes, and beans, and later in the year, root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes. Herbs and edible flowers are available throughout the season, and subscribers also receive a bundle of tulips in spring.
The farm operates on a subscription basis, with prices set according to a solidarity payment system, allowing visitors to choose a rate based on their budget. Subscriptions cover a full season, with options for weekly or shared access. Harvesting is self-guided, with clear instructions provided in weekly emails and on-site signage. Visitors are welcome to pick during daylight hours, seven days a week, though staff are present on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The farm also offers a separate flower subscription, allowing members to pick seasonal bouquets from late May to mid-October.
In addition to vegetables and flowers, Pluck van het Veld hosts workshops, courses, and events, including yoga sessions and farm-to-table dinners. The farm is run by two entrepreneurs who transitioned from office jobs to organic farming and now offer training for those interested in starting their own market gardens. There is a small play area for children, and the farm occasionally opens its tulip fields to the public in early spring.
What visitors say
Visitors come to Pluck van het Veld to pick their own organic vegetables, herbs, and flowers straight from the field. The farm grows a wide variety—from leafy greens and radishes to strawberries and seasonal blooms—so there’s always something new to harvest each week. Most say the produce tastes fresher and better than supermarket options, and the experience of picking it yourself makes it even more satisfying. The setup is straightforward: you get a weekly email listing what’s ready, and you’re free to choose what you want. A few mention that the plants are well-maintained, though the harvest can vary with the weather.
The farm is run by two enthusiastic women who are happy to explain things and keep the place organised. Many visitors bring children, who enjoy seeing how food grows and helping with the picking. Workshops, like making wildflower bouquets, are a hit for those who want to learn more. The only downside some note is the occasional waitlist for subscriptions, but most say it’s worth the patience. Parking can get busy, especially during events, but the farm encourages walking or cycling.
