Pluktuin Ut Ouw Goed in De Moer is a pick-your-own flower and fruit farm set on the site of a former tree nursery. The farm grows a wide variety of flowers, including peonies, lavender, anemones, marguerites, lupins and sunflowers, as well as field and dried flowers. You can pick your own bouquet for €5 or more. The flower fields are tended by Fien van Laarhoven, one of the owners.
The farm also has a food forest with apples, pears, apricots, nectarines, peaches, persimmons, cherries, raspberries, redcurrants, blueberries, grapes and blackberries, along with nut trees. The fruit season runs from early summer to autumn, depending on the crop.
Children can take part in a treasure hunt for €2.50, which includes a drink, a sweet and a small prize from the grab bag. The farm has a natural pond, a sandpit, a barefoot path and a football goal, and is designed to be accessible for wheelchairs.
Ut Ouw Goed is open for picking from June to September, with flowers available when in bloom. The farm is open on Fridays from 13.00 to 17.00 and Saturdays from 09.00 to 16.00. Visitors are advised to check in advance whether flowers are available. The farm also hosts workshops on flower arranging and flower readings, with dates announced on its website.
What visitors say
Visitors come to pick their own fruit and flowers in a well-kept garden with clear paths and helpful signs. You get a pair of scissors and a basket or small containers, then walk past rows of fruit trees—cherries, apples, pears, raspberries, blackberries and currants—towards a separate flower section with a pond. Most say the produce is fresh and plentiful, though a few find it too early or late in the season for their favourite fruit. The flowers are often called beautiful and good value.
Children enjoy the barefoot path, a sandpit with “gold nuggets” to dig up, and the chance to pick their own snacks. The garden is not wheelchair-friendly, but the farm offers a golf cart to help those who need it. Parking is on the grass past the farmhouse and barn; cycling is also an option. The staff are friendly, and many visitors buy homemade jam on their way out. A few mention that the website is confusing, but once there, most find the place straightforward and peaceful.
