What visitors say

This community garden and self-picking farm operates on a membership basis, offering patrons the chance to harvest their own fresh, organic vegetables, fruits, and herbs. Run by “Stadsboerin Yvonne” and her husband, the farm is highly regarded for its dedication to environmentally friendly, biological cultivation, providing healthy, local food. It serves as a vibrant community hub, engaging volunteers—including retirees—and offering reintegration opportunities and internships for future organic growers. The farm also hosts local markets where homemade products can be sold and facilitates educational initiatives, with local schoolchildren learning about food cultivation. Many visitors appreciate the fresh produce, the convenient parking, and describe the people involved as friendly and patient.

However, not all experiences are positive. Several complaints highlight significant issues, particularly concerning promotions offered via platforms like Social Deal. Customers have reported being misled about opening hours and reservation requirements, sometimes traveling with young children only to be turned away and told to return another day or week. A recurring problem involves the farm’s alleged refusal to honor single-person subscriptions for households, demanding multiple purchases for families despite the terms of the deal. Reviewers also describe the owner as lacking empathy, being argumentative, and making visitors feel distinctly unwelcome, leading to strong recommendations to avoid the farm due to a perceived lack of respect for customers.
